Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City

Free Spec Ops DLC Planned for Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City
Written Friday, March 16, 2012 By Lee Bradley

Capcom has lined up some free DLC for the upcoming Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City.

The new mission sees a Spec Ops team entering Raccoon City to determine the source of the virus outbreak. Playing as a member of that team, you’ll have to take on opposing team members from the Umbrella Security Service, as well as zombies and Bio-Organic Weapons.

What’s more, as the storyline takes place between the events of Resident Evil 2 and 3, and seeing as you’ll be playing as Spec Ops, you’ll get to re-visit the moment Jill Valentine encounters the Nemesis. Cool.

The free DLC hits North America on April 11. Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, meanwhile, hits the US on March 20 and Europe on March 23.

Free DLC and capcom in the same title? Well hang me up and leave me for the crows!

Looking forward to this even though it may be a little shit. One can hope.

So is this in fact the same DLC that was hinted at when you guys previewed the game in January here: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-10688-New-Resident-Evil--Operation-Raccoon-City-Achievements-Hint-at-Spec-Ops-Campaign-DLC.html

If so, then this is amazing and almost Rockstar amounts of generosity towards fans.

I'm thinking more along the lines that it will only be half of the DLC that was listed there, because I doubt we're getting 20 achievements+500G for free.

But if it is any of that, say 10 achievements for 250G, contains 3 missions and new modes and stuff, then this is still really awesome, even if it is on the disc/preplanned.

I guess we'll find out soon. I am not getting the game yet, but I will be downloading this as soon as it goes up.

What's the catch? Not like Capcom to do this sort I thing for free. I think they just accidentally auto corrected fee to free

Campaign DLC and 500G worth of achievements, and it's free? Have Capcom lost interest in making money or something?

So what exactly did I get Thumbs Down for?
Being excited?
Asking if it was the same thing we heard about in January?
Being shocked and stoked about getting 250G or 500G for free and 10 or 20 achievements with sizable content?
Saying it was as good as Rockstar (who also gave away free, achievement/point DLC shortly after RDR came out)?

Or because of that tiny line about it being on the disc? Which I can guarantee it probably is (since the achievements were already on the disc months in advance)?

Grow up whoever that was. I didn't say anything negative, you don't understand the thumbs up/down system at all.

@9 Just a guess but it might have been because of the typical Moldy Clay page-long comment? Some people don't like to read all that.

Don't get your hopes up for this game people, they're using free dlc to lure you in and take all your money's! lol

...But seriously, this is just too different to be called a resident evil game imo

@9 I think its because you turn the comments section into a 600 word thesis on the subject.

@9 Because some people are just to lazy or stupid to read more than two lines of type. I gave you a thumbs up for what it's worth.

@9 I didn't thumb down your comment, but I did stop reading it after the first paragraph. Its not laziness, if you're going to write that much at least make it interesting.

to those thinking that this is going to be a free dlc with 500 points worth of achievements:

don't microsoft achievement rules prevent a single dlc pack from containing that many points? i thought to have that many points it had to be spread over multiple packs.

Shame that they didn't go for the old tank camera because this would have been awesome except for the pointless what if points.

Any way probably get this always prefered the original trilogy over the modern action versions.

Makes me wonder if because its free all that means is they planned to ship it in the full game but couldn't fit it into the game because of: Not enough time to finish it or Not enought space left on the disk or some reason like that but hey a free campaign add on with 500 G sounds great.

It's free because has anyone else seen the other FIVE DLC packs that cost 400 - 800 MSPS? This one won't exactly drain them.

@7 personally I think Capcom is looking at the mistakes of EA with Mass Effect 3 and DLC, which is why I refuse to buy ME3.

@24 I doubt it, since you can get all the weapons and costumes from those packs in the Weapon Stash and Costume pack for 640 msp (aka $8) or you can get it included with the special edition, which is an extra $10. Whereas the FREE DLC Capcom is offering is campaign based, which most charge for (*cough* EA *cough*).

Still not sure if I'm getting this game though, changing the RE story by killing Leon sounds like a horrible idea.

The free DLC hits North America on April 11. Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, meanwhile, hits the US on March 20 and Europe on March 23.

Should the US be UK? Since US is apart of NA?

@30 No, because the UK doesn't get it until the 23rd. US is who gets it on the 20th.

@31 But US is apart of NA, and if NA gets it should US just get it at the same time?

I still think its a typo lol.

so we pay for Nemesis Multiplayer Mode (on disk but locked), and get a free dlc NOT on the disk. Capcom you are so weird, happy it's free!
