Far Cry 2's 'Fortunes Pack' DLC is half price this week photo

When the "Fortunes Pack" add-on for Far Cry 2 was announced, everyone gave it a once-over and said, "whoa, that's kind of neat." Then they saw the price tag for the downloadable content, and that was the end of that story.

Major Nelson brings us the good news that the Xbox LIVE Deal of the Week is none other than the "Fortunes Pack" for 400 Microsoft Points. I would argue that the silenced shotgun alone is worth the price of admission, but you also get two other weapons, two vehicles, and four multiplayer maps too.

Here's a handy link for those considering buying the add-on. Five bucks to "play" as Anton Chigurh in Far Cry 2? Sold!

Yes, actually. I just bought the game 4 days ago, and I was addicted for the past 3 days.

With so many cool games coming out, who has the money to fork over for some dinky weapons?

I got a few months back but never finished it. This may be just the thing to get me back into it.

@Arsenic: yup it's been 400 space bucks for weeks now so 240 would make sense.

@Crazyape69

Yeah I bought this game a week ago and have played it a couple times... It's great fun. I need more time to get in to it more though.

One of the most underrated, underplayed games. It went from 800 to 400 to now 240? That's 70%! Insta-buy!

"With so many cool games coming out, who has the money to fork over for some dinky weapons?"

3 - New Weapons
2 - New Vehicles
4 - New Multiplayer Maps

All for 240MSP($2.98)

And all Infinity Ward gave me was 4 friggin maps, 1 of which absolutely no one plays? Pfft.

@Rammstein: "And all Infinity Ward gave me was 4 friggin maps, 1 of which absolutely no one plays?"

I forgot to add, "4 maps for $10 from IW, whereas a LOT more stuff for the same price from Crytek" etc. etc. etc. You get my point: GET THIS GAME/DLC!

I played this game a lot. Been playing it again a bit lately, too. Plyed the MP a shit-load as well. Never, ever, broke on me. Don't get why people say it's really buggy. I've heard about the save file corrupting, but luckily never had it hyappen. But I've never seen so much as a glitch in this impressive depiction of Africa that hey've compressed onto a dvd. I think this game take a lot of unfair flak.

Is this normally $5 on Steam?

That silenced shotgun is super tempting but I'm not sure if I'm willing to pay five bucks for a few weapons and vehicles (likely won't be putting much time into multiplayer). Maybe if I decide to do a second playthrough. Picked this up for 20 bones on Steam last week and 10 hours later I'm only 20% complete and still pretty addicted to it. Really neat game.

I haven't really encountered any nasty bugs at all. The worst thing I've noticed is sometimes the context graphics (like the hand appearing on objects you can grab) get messed up and start displaying as Xbox buttons. No biggie. There was also one inexplicable moment where all my controls seized up except the ~ key, but I'm willing to let that slide.

If this games is so buggy as you speak than someone list the glitches in the game, otherwise be quiet and go play halo/COD/gears/L4D/unreal/whatever it is you play

I wish MS would just do half off Arcade titles like people want, they should change the name from 'Deal of the Week' to 'Disappointment of the Week'

@Animated Toupe: This isn't 5 bucks, its THREE bucks (did you just ignore my post??)

If you ignore the [b]TWO[/] Vehicles and [b]FOUR[/] Maps included in this "Fortunes Pack" think of it as $1 Per Weapon, and the 2 cars and 4 maps as extra/bonus. :)
