Fallout 3's The Pitt Now Available

Fallout 3's The Pitt Now Available
Written Tuesday, March 24, 2009 by Dan Webb

Fallout 3's second downloadable episode, The Pitt, is now available for purchase and download from the Xbox Live Marketplace.

The 492 MB download will set you back 800 Microsoft Points and promises a short adventure, reminiscent of the Fallout 3 retail campaign rather than the combat orientated Operation Anchorage.

Still not sure whether The Pitt is worth your hard earned cash? Then check back later for our definitive say on the matter. Details ahoy.

Content: The Pitt
Price: 800 Microsoft Points
Availability: Not available in Japan
Dash Text: [ESRB: M (Mature) BLOOD AND GORE,INTENSE VIOLENCE,SEXUAL THEMES,STRONG LANGUAGE,USE OF DRUGS] Pittsburgh was once the industrial center of the pre-war world. The city was spared the horrors of nuclear fire, only to have its people infected by a nightmare plague of disease, infection, and mutation.  Travel to the ruins of this industrial city, now called The Pitt, and discover a secret that could send shockwaves through the entire Wasteland. Battle vicious mutated Trogs, employ deadly new weapons like the AutoAxe and Infiltrator silenced assault rifle, and decide the fate of the infected slaves and slavers that call this city home. Only you can find the cure – but will you have the guts to use it?

I am going to wait until the last DLC comes out to pick this up. Then I can use this DLC to help me get to level 30. Plus they may have fixed these glitches that everyone is talking about as well.

I don't think this DLC is working properly for anyone yet, someone has really screwed up. I'll wait for a fix for this untill I download it and i'd advise everyone else to do the same.

Yeah I just entered the Pitt and areas of the ground look like rainbow tie dye flowers and I know they should just look like rocks.

I cant get my head around why ppl love this game, just dont get it?? I got it as a present and played a couple of missions and left it. The stop time stuff, pick a body part then waste more time on watching it fall off....and then u miss and u do it all again.......pointless! Its a NO from me!

@26 It's obviously not your kind of game, this was my favourite game of last year, everyone has different tastes in games. If you hate the game so much I don't understand why you are posting here.

"I am going to wait until the last DLC comes out to pick this up. Then I can use this DLC to help me get to level 30. Plus they may have fixed these glitches that everyone is talking about as well."

I agree with you too. My original plan was to wait until all 3 were out, dl all 3 and start an entirely new game. The only problem is that I'm playing waaaay too many games now, not sure if I can get back into this, besides it sounds like it's pretty glitchy, and like many others, I'm waiting for the level cap to be raised.

@ #25! Gears of War DLC sucks ass it's all multiplayer map BS! Would everyone stop sucking off Gears, Halo, and GTA series. They are all big names that are way to short for $60. Both Operation Anchorage and The Pitt are 3 hours each for $20 and combined they are as long as Halo 3 took to beat!

DON'T DOWNLOAD IT MANY PEOPLE ARE FACED WITH THE SAME GLITCHED GAMEPLAY, YOU CAN'T ENTER THE PITT IT ALWAYS FREEZES, THERE ARE EXSLAMATION MARKS EVERYWHERE. ITS UNFINISHED. TO SEE WHAT OTHER PEOPLES PROBLEMS ARE GO TO THIS LINK:

For those of you that find the DLC to be glitchy, try deleting most of your old save files. If you, like me, had some 100 save files built up over the course of the game, deleting all these (as they are rather large especially towards the end) will help with the problem. I had really bad lag and some freezing before and now it runs like brand new!

Ehh...not worth my 800 points right now. SnowBlind Map Pack next week! ^_^

It appears Bethesda are aware of the issue and are working on a fix for the Pitt right now, but I think I'll just hold off till the last DLC.

Tuesday, March 24, 2009 @ 09:38:19 AM

Sounds promising. Will definately get this once I've got alot of achievements from the original story, and also bought Operation Anchorage and got most achievements there.

I'm working round to it but I've been delayed by many many games.

I miss the days where there was just ONE game to play, so choices weren't so difficult - rememberes Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4.

Just woke up and got it as soon as I did. Will run through it once I finish RE5.

Have the achievements been updated for it though? I checked my list on my Xbox and it's still at 1100.

Comment #44 by DemonI81
Tuesday, March 24, 2009 @ 09:59:19 AM

... I knew I should've looked on here before starting the download and spending $10 out of the $30 I had left for the week...
Bethesda keeps closing the threads about the problems too... Are they trying to hide something? Seeing as how everyone seems to be experiencing major glitches, they aren't gonna be able to hide anything.

Hmm still need to get Operation Anchorage, but before that i'm gonna try n get the full 1K for Fallout. Then i'll get The Pitt..
At least by then there should be a patch already out for these 'glitches'

Just tried to redownload it but it would appear they took it off the marketplace! Damn you would think the extra month they took they could of got it right. What parts I can play(just the scrapyard cause I cant get back to downtown) is pretty fun. The auto-axe is badass.Balls!

READ THIS!
This DLC sucks. It is incredibly glitchy and has those stupid red exclamation marks. WTF? I paid 800 microsoft points for this and I can't even play it because the game freezes every time I go through the door right after your stuff gets taken away at the main gate. (My Fallout 3 disk is in perfect condition) I used to have every achievement in Fallout 3, but I guess I never truly will now. Anyone who wants to talk to me, hit me up on XBL on my gamertag lx MALEX xl.

This is ridiculous. Can't enter The Pitt itself. I think they rushed it as they had already planned the date in the trailer. It's annoying that you have to pay for broken DLC!

Comment #58 by MG6490
Tuesday, March 24, 2009 @ 11:41:34 AM

Fallout 3 was a major disappointment imo

I made the mistake of buying it due to my like of elder scrolls oblivion when i shouldnt have. I found it uneccessarily hard work to play.
Bit shocked about the glitches tho i thought Fallout would have been less glitchy than this, seems polished when i played it.

Jesus you people are stupid. "How could they release it like this", they didn't you dumbasses. There's a certification process for anything that gets released onto XBL for a reason, and the Pitt passed that certification.

The problem is the version that passed certification isn't the version that was made available. So it's now no longer available until they get the correct version uploaded. If you already bought it, delete it, and wait for it to be available again, then redownload it. No, you won't have to pay again.

I downloaded this and was waiting to get playing it :P... for me it freezes when I try to get close to the tunnel location... I hope it's only glitch in the game and get it fixed as soon as possible and not shit like I had with Fable 2 where the game runs smoothly for 10 minutes and freezes... haven't had much trouble with other games

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.

No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
