Like frightened doves released from captivity onto a movie set, the promised Stranglehold downloadable map pack should be available now for the Xbox 360.
The pack contains 10 additional multiplayer maps, which range from the Kowloon Market to the Rooftops of Chicago. Additionally, 21 multiplayer character skins are included. Achievement junkies who might have put the game back on the shelf months ago might want to pop it in and pick up the expansion -- it includes 10 new achievements, for a total of 250 additional achievement points.
The map pack (which will also be available for the PlayStation 3 soon) costs 1200 MS points ($14.99).

That price point needs to drop though.
Good thing I don't own Strangehold.
It might have been worth the price is this was a majorly popular game that people wanted this content for. Most of them are probably just single player conversions anyway. The problem with this is that it breaks apart the community and if the community isn't huge then you may find a large amount of people drop out when a server changes to maps that you have to pay for. In games like Halo/CoD4 with so many people playing, this generally isn't much of an issue. But I think it's an even bigger problem for a game like this.
The single player was fun in Stranglehold. Multiplayer, not so much.
21 skins??
minus 17
=
4 skins..
mmmmmm, delicious!
Expansion pack is fail, with the intense price doubly so.
That and I got the special edition for the PS3 with the Hardboiled movie in the game.
Not a bad game really. Just don't expect too much. It's a barely above average shooter. I can see this being a Bargain Bin Laden choice when the price eventually goes down.
Those are a lot of maps, I wonder if it's a super small download, just unlocking stuff already on the disc? (Like the thieves that put out Beautiful Katamari)
What the fuck for?
ok done.
