Here comes more Just Cause 2 DLC photo

In a game where the main goal is to pretty much blow stuff up on a tropical island I'm guessing that DLC that gives you more ways to blow stuff up would be quite welcome. As such, please welcome some brand new DLC for Just Cause 2 in the form of the game's 'Black Market' DLC.

This little bundle of island blowing up joy comes in two DLC packs over two months. The first pack is the aerial pack and includes an F-33 Dragon Fly Jet Fighter, a Multi-lock Missile Launcher and Parachute Dual Thrusters: twin parachute-mounted jets which transform Rico’s trademark parachute into one of the most nimble and powerful attack platforms. It lands (get it?!) on April 29.

The second pack blows (get it?!) into town on May 26 and is called the 'Boom Pack.' The pack will feature a Quad Rocket Launcher a Cluster Bomb Launcher and an Air Propulsion Gun: a highly experimental jet-powered blast weapon, powerful enough to send vehicles and soldiers skywards.

Both cost $1.99 for the PS3 and Steam, and 160 MS Points for Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

160 only? That's a pretty rad price.

@robotic-
They aren't maps.

I love my Just Cause and play it every time I'm not busy with Splinter Cell...it's a great game...but this is an example of the worst case scenerio of DLC gone bad.
If ever something should hae ever been included with the game or given away for free later, it's a extra weapon or two.
They started off right with the Ice Cream truck, but that was more to just to the drug dealer technique of here's a free taste, now pay up for more, junkie.
I love the game but I'll be damned if ANY company will get even just 2 dollars off me for a couple more weapons or gadgets.
It won't be "just" 2 dollars when the day comes and every game is doing this. And if it sells well for even one game, then that day will come.

The propulsion gun just begs to be used for games of human paddleball. I wonder if it can launch the heads of the Panay statues...

Also, @ allfart (lol): Two bucks sounds good to me. I don't get into the widespread and seemingly endless internet debates about the ethics of paid DLC, but I'm all for it in this case.

The DLC, that is. *ahem*

I think it's funny everyone here thinks this is crap when compared to the crap they pay for it isn't. Maybe you don't pay for DLC then. What more do you want from $2 DLC?

I'm glad to see there's some companies that are more about player experience rather than money. I will be buying both packs.

I was thinking precisely the same thing. If so, then it will probably be awesome.

I agree wholeheartedly.

I'm not going to get on to every whining prick who thinks that they're not getting their money's worth. I'd be afraid too if I had to ask my mom for her credit card number to download MS points again.

Just Cause 2 is pretty good on its own and without adding extra DLC. I'm not seeing my value for the money in this particular content pack.

Since I don't believe in throwing money at things just because they're "cheap," I'll wait and see if any better DLC comes out in the future.

Jesus! 1.99?! Well too bad Sony dicks made their PSN wallet buy $5 for any thing under it. Aargh!

@all great games... "I love the game but I'll be damned if ANY company will get even just 2 dollars off me for a couple more weapons or gadgets."

Seeing as this game has more value/content (stuff to do, places to go, things to obliterate, vehicles:100+!) than about 99% of $60 games out there, no hard feelings from me. Seems to me my chances with $2-4 are worth taking on these devs. Maybe I've been duped, but from names of the items in the DLC packs, it sounds like these will add quite a variety of possibilities to the game (Dual Thruster Parachute?!?!?!). Yes, please.

At least it sounds like semi interesting dlc. Its not just some different looking machine gun or a different car thats no different from the other cars. The air gun sounds pretty hilarious. I'll buy this dlc when its out and decide then whether or not its worth another $2 in the future.

This to me is more interesting than $15 map packs or horse armour (I know that joke is so __ years ago).

I'm not sure about the second pack but for $2 I'm sold on the first.

Are the oceans in Just Cause 2 deep like original? I wasn't a fan of the first JC, but One if the coolest and original
things in JC1 was the mini-sub. I'd totally pay $2 to explore and causeayhrm from s new prespective.

Honestly, i thought the game was going to have janky controls like the first one so I never even considered pre-ordering. Now i regret it since it's one of the funnest games of 2010 and I couldve got the hovercraft DLC.
