Nothing better than some free DLC and now it looks like EndWar is also getting some free DLC. With this and Left 4 Dead getting new DLC for free hopefully we can look forward to more free DLC in the future.
Today Ubisoft announces that a free "Veteran Map Pack” DLC for Tom Clancy's EndWarTM is now available for download. The "Veteran Map Pack” contains two exclusive missions on new battlefields playable in skirmish mode for battle-hardened commanders on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system. New missions include the assault on Russia's Cosmodrome and the conquest of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in Richton, Mississippi, USA. Take the challenge one step further command your troops through even fiercer battles.
Set on the battlefields of World War III, Tom Clancy's EndWar pushes the envelope of technology with its revolutionary voice-command system. Challenge your friends or take on the AI in these all new skirmish battles and once again immerse yourself in E3's strategy game of the year.
Ubisoft today announced the release of the "Escalation Pack” downloadable content for Tom Clancy's EndWar available on the Xbox Live Marketplace December 11, 2008. The DLC will be available for 800 Microsoft points.
The "Escalation Pack” DLC will include four new exclusive missions on all new battlefields playable in skirmish mode, three exclusive unit upgrades and an extra set of achievements to expand your experience with Tom Clancy's EndWar. The new missions include the Siege of the Kursk Firebase (Ukraine), the Assault on Devon beach (England), the Raid on Rota naval base (Spain) and the Conquest of Dorsey Knob (USA, West Virginia).
These new challenges will also be available with more fighting power; as the "Escalation Pack” will also introduce three new unit upgrades and 10 new achievements to unlock.
December 11th will also mark the day where EndWar brings you a completely free title update that will bring the stakes of the war to a whole new level by including the much sought after four vs. four mode. This content patch will be available on the Xbox 360 on December 11th.
Ubisoft has recently opened registration for interested users to take part in the new "End War" private BETA which is planned to take place for three weeks throughout June and July.
The "Tom Clancy's End War" Private Beta will take place for 3 weeks in June and July, and will be available in English only. The Beta will feature 3 maps and be playable exclusively online in 1v1 and 2v2 matches. The Beta will be available for Xbox 360, and you will need to be an Xbox Live® Gold Member, with a broadband internet connection, and 3 GB of free space on your Xbox 360 Hard Drive.
The version will be in a Test state and you will likely encounter some bugs and crashes. Your contribution will be very important and will help us to produce a better and more polished final product. Your participation in this Beta will be strictly confidential, and you will not be allowed to share your experiences playing EndWar anywhere outside of this website.
If your looking to get involved in the latest BETA please visit the official site:
According to the game director, Tom Clancy's EndWar will feature a persistent online world campaign. De Plater mentioned that it's quite too early to spill the beans or drop the bomb but he did reveal the following:
I can say that one of our most ambitious features is a massively-multiplayer persistent online world campaign. Every time you log in you will see the shifting front lines of an entire world at war, where everyone is participating in a unified global version of World War III.
Tom Clancy's EndWar takes place in the year 2020 where the whole world has plunged into a global battle for power. The game is an RTS by nature and we're literally giddy about it being fully voice activated.
Combine that with the incredible 3D gameplay; the voice command system; the strong online multiplayer component; the apocalyptic World War III scenario; the ultimate 21st Century war machines; the Unreal 3 powered graphics; and I think we'll offer strategy gamers something they have never experienced before.
A public beta testing for Tom Clancy's EndWar will commence sometime in November.
