World at War, Call of Juarez & Red Faction DLC Now Available

World at War, Call of Juarez & Red Faction DLC Now Available
Written Thursday, August 06, 2009 by Dan Webb

It's been a while since I've sat here - actually, I've never sat here here because I'm on a train, but I mean in front of my computer - and been able to report on a ton of new premium downloadable content being available on the Xbox Live Marketplace. Alas, today I can, and it feels good.

Available on the Marketplace now is the Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 3 (800 Microsoft Points), Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood Old West Map Pack (currently free but reported to be 800 Microsoft Points so that may change soon) and Red Faction's Demons of the Badlands single player content (800 Microsoft Points).

A good day for DLC then! Download queue links below. Why? Because I'm nice like that.

Call of Duty: World at War's Map Pack 3.

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood's Old West Map Pack.

Red Faction's Demons of the Badlands single player missions.

I've just grabbed the Call of Juarez DLC while it's free, the Red Faction DLC doesn't seem to be available at the moment (I couldn't find it anyway on Marketplace?)

The Red Faction DLC doesn't come out till the 13th, doesn't it? I don't see it on the xbox webpage.

Why does THQ only put 3 missions is each of their DLC? And they only put out 3 DLC's for each game? They did the same for SR2, 3 DLC (1 one them being free, and only providing clothing, guns etc) and 3 missions in each DLC.

@1 There is already or very soon there will be an update to RFG, and it might help out will ore locations.

I really wanna download the COD:WAW map pack but I play COD on my PS3 and it isn't on the PlayStation Store yet because stupid Sony only does once-weekly content updates, and that won't be until later on this afternoon. I hate Sony more with each passing day. My PS3 is rapidly turning into nothing but a Blu-Ray player and my COD machine....

What about the new Force unleashed dlc? The achievements is already up on xbox.com

Comment #17 by darkhelmet8
Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 07:41:51 AM

@6 Really that would be super. I'm just to damn lazy to scope out that whole map looking for them all, I tried the map of locations but that took it's toll too.

There is an RFG patch today but no DLC until next thursday.

Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 07:58:33 AM

Rumour on the street is, the Red Faction DLC announcment is a mistake, not the first time, although at least this time they didn't press the big red "LAUNCH DLC" button and leak it on the marketplace!

Comment #23 by UltimateSin
Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 07:58:43 AM

@13 Not cool...

@17 I'm pretty sure that's what's going to happen. So hopefully you'll start seeing new dots on your map showing the locations of missed (h)ores. Also when looking for ore's you gotta deal with mauraders in the Badlands, I hate marauders.

@6: to bully us poor achievement whores (and other gamers alike btw :P) out of more money, what other reason did you think there was?

I don't even own Call of Juarez but, I got it while it's free! I might buy the game tomorrow?!

The Call of Juarez one gives me errors on both my xbox and on the online marketplace, think they have finally realised.

For some reason I can't download COJ, I keep getting an error code. Also did anyone notice if your in the preview that Bioshock is availible for Games On Demand.

Just tried to get Call of Juarez DLC, but I got an error code. :(

Comment #29 by danowat32
Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 08:33:27 AM

Major Nelson has just confirmed the Red faction DLC announcement was a mistake, I assume the CoJ being free was a mistake too.


Comment #30 by Darkxid3

Tried gettin the CoJ it says free go on it and its trying to charge me 800 ¬_¬

Comment #31 by littlejay
Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 08:39:41 AM

the CoJ dlc errors out on the website now so i guess they are taking it down

Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 08:43:01 AM

The Red Faction DLC is such a disapointment. The campaign sucked.. why not add additional modes to the multiplayer.. which was the best new multiplayer mode of the year. And to make matters worse the campaign mode had such crummy achievements.. fucking collect-a-thons.

Comment #33 by pocket1
Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 08:51:52 AM

BEWARE. The Juarez DLC is not free! - I clicked that link then the clicked the Old West Map Pack (here it says its free) and on the next screen i clicked continue before seeing too late that 800 points had been deducted. Gutted, i don't even have the game yet, only downloaded this in case they started charging for it! Now have to ring customer support to try and resolve this!!

Comment #34 by Vita Ante Acta
Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 08:52:12 AM

Yeah, CoJ is erroring out for me too :(

Did anyone manage to get it?

The Call of Duty map pack looks great but my 360 is dvafbvfv so I wont be able to download it so soon :(

Comment #36 by NyteRayne
Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 08:59:26 AM

Bah, Call of Juarez shows free still, but when you try to add it, it wants to charge 800 points...looks like I just missed it...

Comment #40 by Madtown B
Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 09:07:42 AM

@33 same thing almost happened to me, luckily i didn't have enough MSP. If its free, why not download it in case you ever get the game? (Especially if you have a 120 gig HDD like me, lol)

Comment #41 by ponypo2001
Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 09:19:43 AM

So what's with this messing up and DLC being free for like 5 mins then full points the next (Juarez and GOW2).Really starting to take the damn piss that a group of people who live on LIVE got it for nowt whilst others have to fork out full whack.I call BS on that.Good job I don't touch either,but for those that do,that must sucketh mcballs.

Current Balance 1300 @
Old West Map Pack 800 @
New Balance 500

Uh... that's not the "Free" it said to me in big bold letters.

COD maps are the best yet ...one map is freaking huge .

Comment #45 by pocket1
Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 09:49:15 AM

Yeah thats the worst thing - paying for dlc for a game i dont even have yet! Muppett! Anyway rang customer service and should be getting a call back from a manager in the next 48 hours - fingers crossed i'll get a refund!

Also told them to sort this out so it doesnt happen to other trigger happy people like me!

Comment #46 by sakanakami
Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 10:19:09 AM

I didn't notice any of the Games on Demand on the marketplace, from what I've read that won't launch until the 11th even if you're in the preview.

Comment #47 by adriano28
Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 10:24:20 AM

my friend downloaded map pack 3 for COD:WAW. we played it and it was awesome! although we cant find the pack-a-punch thing that upgrades your weapons. And the monkey

Comment #48 by xianizradx
Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 10:28:59 AM

Too many dlc for to many games I own, therefore means I will no longer pay for dlc.
the damn content should of been part of the game to begin with. I guess paying 60 bucks for a new game isn't "enough money" for all the content. They want to rob you of your money.

the call of juarez says free but then it says 800 pts what gives o.o

Comment #51 by TristanValendro
Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 11:02:44 AM

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood's Old West Map Pack must have been free for many an hour or so but guess it wasn't supposed to be. It's $10 now. Can't even find Red Faction's DLC and as for CoD MP3....it's sweet but people drop out of the zombie map making it 10x more difficult for us non-quiters.

yes call of juarez WAS free

Comment #53 by WEEJOK
Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 11:43:54 AM

Well I got Call of Juarez DLC free earlier, makes up for missing out on the GOW2 All Fronts bargain the other week!

#33, sorry but theres no refunds for the marketplace, ever. Even if you bought it on accident.

Comment #56 by asilentboom
Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 12:50:39 PM

@45 @33 sorry YOU did that, but it clearly states no refunds on everything on the marketplace, and your arguement will be that it said it was free on x360a but you didn't check to see if it was free on LIVE b4 you downloaded it?

Your not going to get a refund nor should you expect one.

Red Faction DLC isn't coming out today. Major Nelson got it wrong and says as much in the comments on the COD map pack comments.

Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 01:18:09 PM

@25

I did exactly the same thing. Got it while it was free, and I don't even own the game!

Luckily, even if it started charging points for it, I wouldn't have been able to download it, as I only have 40 points...

Comment #59 by R_A_LEE20
Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 04:37:26 PM

@57 I thought it was strange that the Red Faction DLC was out today cos the Achievements for it haven't been upgraded yet and it wasn't on the Dashboard Marketplace as well as the Net marketplace.

Still it would have been over shadow by the COD: WAW DLC anyway so it would have been pointless.

I'll probably get the Red Faction Guerilla DLC, I don't feel like getting the new World at War maps yet.

Thursday, August 06, 2009 @ 10:27:55 PM

Major also tweeted that Red Faction DLC is out but i didn't think till the 13th... also it's nowhere on the marketplace.

Comment #64 by pocket1
Friday, August 07, 2009 @ 05:34:36 AM

@56 it said it was Free on Xbox.com marketplace, which is what i told MS customer support (not that it said it was free on x360a). I have sent MS a screenshot of this and so expect a refund.

If anyone made the same mistake as me and needs a screenshot to prove to MS (as apparently it says 800 points now) please send me a message and i'll be happy to email you the screenshot. Cheers

Friday, August 07, 2009 @ 07:43:32 AM

The red faction info should be edited in the news section, it was a mistake by Major Nelson. The official site still has plans for it to be launched on the 13th. Very misleading.

I will map pack 3 (and other 2 map packs) for Call of Duty World at War, but it is regional coded and i can not download it. Fuc... Microsoft!
Thei sell us consoles, games and hardware, but we can not download all DLC from Marketplace and. That stink.

I'll be getting map pack 3... I hate call of jaurez, and I might get Red Faction Guerilla soon. I LOVE COD 5!

Map pack 3 is amazing, got to round 22 with no glitches - Personnel best.Ray gun is much rarer as when its upgraded its pure awesome. Other maps to are good, definately best out of the 3. Don't play COJ and don't like RFG.

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.
