Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 DLC Back in Action

Alan Pettit

As previously reported it would be, the MUA2 DLC that pulled a vanishing act back in January is now officially back on the marketplace for purchase. The Character & Sim Mission Pack (800 MSP) and Juggernaut Playable Character (160 MSP) DLCs are ready for deployment. Only the first is needed for the DLC achievements, but Juggy is one of the most powerful characters for the game, so be sure to grab him if you've got a few extra MSP around. Plus you'll then have an excuse to drop that internet meme (NSFW) over and over while you play with your friends. These DLCs will be gone forever after December 31st, 2010 so grab them while you can.

"Make the Largest Army of Super Heroes even greater with these 5 all new playable characters! Unleash the power, might, and fusions of Carnage, Magneto, Psylocke, Cable, and Black Panther! Earn more achievements with 4 new simulations missions. The Civil War is on. Join the fight!"

"The Largest Army of Super Heroes is back! Jump into the heart of the battle with this new exclusive character; the one, the only, the gargantuan, unstoppable force JUGGERNAUT! Unleash massive power and destruction with Juggernaut and the rest of your exciting team of four!"

  • i should get this even though i think the game was a disappointment compared to the first
  • I never heard DLC being dropped/removed. Whoever is in charge of doing [adding/dropping DLC], why'd they do it? Wouldn't this obviously hurt their goal and such?
  • Pass.
  • I Would But once i completed this game i lost interest and sold it :D
  • I remember when the game first came out and they said there was gonna be loads of DLCs and were asking fans which characters should be put in next and then suddenly, all the DLC from the games are taken down. Good thing I didn't buy this game, was a good rent though.
  • @2 If I recall correctly I'm pretty sure the DLC was taken down partly because of Disney buying up the Marvel License, but I don't remember for sure. I kind of wish I hadn't sold this game already so I could try and grab the DLC Achievements though :-(
  • @2, live under a rock? DLC disappeared on marketplace for both this and MUA 1 a few months ago. It disappeared with no warning due to the license expiring on the characters. IIRC, this happened not long after Disney bought Marvel and surely this was a result of that.
  • @6, beat me by seconds. Rock the knowledge.
  • Sweet. Time for me to buy the game finally. I was waiting for it to go down but when I saw that the DLC vanished I stopped wanting it. I feared that I wouldn't be able to play with my friends online if they had the DLC and I didn't.
  • Did they fix the problem where they took established cannon shot it into the sun and made a horrible game instead?
  • Well, looks like I'm buying this next check then. Same as the first one. Maybe I can finally push myself to bare with the poor story writing for longer then 2 days!
  • @10, canon or cannon? Shooting a cannon into the sun may have a slightly different meaning.
  • I picked it up, I like the game just don't have time to play it right now and have the extra points so why not.
  • I dropped this game like a bad habit. It sucked, especially compared to the first one. Why would anyone in their right mind pay MORE money for DLC for a game that absolutely sucks? Seriously, if you do purchase this DLC, you should get your head checked.
  • "don't you Know who I am I'm the Juggernaut Bitch!" I swaer that was the Worst Part of X-men:The Last stand
  • @7 I never played the UA or UA2, so I woulnd't know about this particular game DLC problem/issue. The title of this article got my attention, and I ended up reading. You ever bother to checked if I had play this game or not? Because if I hadn't play, then most likely, I woulnd't had known about this. You too lazy or something?
  • I was excited to hear this announced earlier, and was expecting it to be at some sort of reduced price as a 'sorry we suck' kind of deal. But no, still full price as before. That is why I did not pick it up when the game first released them. The game was a terrible disappointment compared to the first and would only dust it back off again if I could get the DLC at a reduced price, otherwise I will never have it I suppose.
  • @15 I still think it was Cyclops dying OFF CAMERA. WTF!
  • @15 They had to include it, the meme was at an all-time high shortly before that came out. They likely included simply because of the popularity of the meme. @18 I agree with that. I hate Cyclops anyway (whiny emo), but to kill off one of the bigger x-men offscreen is just pathetic.
  • @16, yes. Actually I am too lazy. And even if I wasn't, why would you playing it or not matter?I haven't played the game either, but I read the news release when it was first taken down (and the ensuing riot by completionists). But really, the name of the article caught your attention? But the links in the article explaining the whole situation didn't? You too lazy to click links or something? Next time read the article AND click links in the article.
  • might get this just to be carnage I can't even thing of any other game you cAn be him he is the coolest spiderman character
  • @16, so after looking at your profile here I'm confused. You're clearly an active member for the past (almost) year, but an article titled "MUA 2 DLC back in action" caught your attention (again for a game you've never played), yet an article at the beginning of the year titled "Activision allows MUA license to expire; DLC no longer available" doesn't catch your attention? Unbelievable. Anyway, in case you're too lazy or confused to find links, here you go: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-4211-Activision-Lapses-on-Marvel-Ultimate-Alliance-Licenses;-DLC-No-Longer-Available.html
  • #19 something tells me you dont really know the meaning on emo if you thought cyclops was an emo
  • @ 6 - Unlikely. Disney made a statement saying they would not infringe or interfere with any Marvel productions at all. The only thing Disney has any type of call on is new products that both companies approve after the merger.
  • I'm the Juggernaught, BITCH!
  • But what about the first one. I bought the damn thing for 10 bucks, deleted it, because I needed the space (when I still only had a 20GB drive) and after I got my 250Gb drive I tried downloading it again but it was too late. so I wasted 10 bucks for nothing. I hope I can download that again, too.
  • i'm only getting this if it goes on sale. fat chance.
  • I already beat the game, but if this dlc does go up, I'll get this game again just to play as the other dlc characters. Missed out playing Psylocke, Cable and Juggernaut last time. Caranage would be cool to play as too. Not as cool as Venom, but still awesome.
