The new vehicles are sweet. I haven't had much time to mess with anything else, I gotta head off to work.

New trophys for Rooftop and driving races. New Orb finding game.

I love the new feature which lets you hear the orbs that are close by.

This new gun that has 1600 shots, wow!!!

Its like I have a new game all over again.

Re: Crackdown (360)

Hopefully the new orb sounds will help me find the last ones, those last 5 are pissing me off.

The little dune buggy handles so well lol. I messed around with keys to the city, and while fun, I had to stop cuz I still have acievements to get and they are disabled in that mode. I harpwned a couple of guys then went back to the regular game with the bonus stuff.

As **** said, the new vehicles are nice. The armored truck is tight and faster than I thought it would be. Seems like it has unlimited ammo too. My favorite vehicle so far though is the buggy. Right now I am collecting vehicles to impound.

Be forewarned, from what people are saying on MajorNelson's site, the content is erasing some saves with Crackdown. So you could all of a sudden have a back to square 1 agent. That would, um suck.

Yeah I read that was happening to some people. Luckily, I was not one of them.

Re: Crackdown (360)

I read through a bunch of posts on the Crackdown site. It looks like the problem is happening to people who play co-op and who quit and then play single-player. I would avoid co-op until they get this figured out.

I'm going to back my save up on a memory card and then download the content tonight. The DLC sounds too good and I'm not patient.

Just avoid co-op and you'll be fine.

RockyTop and I naively jumped into a co-op game without having any knowledge of this problem. While we were playing ExtremeGamer IM'ed us to tell us of the problem. Instead of exiting the game the natural way (pausing then choosing "Exit Game"), we decided to just shut our consoles down. When we rebooted, we went into a single player game (each of us) and all of our progress was still intact. Shew!!

Yeah that was close. I was borderline sick to my stomach.

Whoa! Close one. It would suck to have to start over. I think you guys owe ExtremeGamer a brew or something.

Hopefully they'll figure the issue out quickly.

Re: Crackdown (360)

Alright guys, problem solved. This, from the official Crackdown Forums:

We are aware that the recently released “Crackdown” DLC is causing some gamers to experience a reset of their saved games when they engage in co-op play. The team is working extremely hard to identify the issue and has provided steps to avoid the problem.



Simply follow these instructions:



1. Sign-in to Xbox Live
2. Start Crackdown and receive new Title Update (if you haven’t already)
3. Begin a Single Player Campaign game
4. Once loaded, press Start and choose “Quit”
5. Reboot Crackdown (soft reboot or hard reboot of console)

By following the steps above, this will ensure that your Crackdown experience will be trouble-free. You will then be able to enjoy the new title update features, the “Free-For-All” DLC pack, as well as all the goodies found in the “Getting’ Busy Bonus Pack”.



For more details on the contents of the title update, and both the free and premium downloadable content, please visit: http://crackdownoncrime.com/News/DLC+Fact+Sheet.htm



A permanent solution will be released with the game’s next Title Update, which will be available in the very near future. NOTE: Unfortunately these steps will not restore an old saved file. There is no workaround for this. If this changes, we will post additional information in these forums in the future. We sympathize with those who may have lost their saved files. This was an unforeseen incident and the team has worked diligently to find a solution in the shortest amount of time possible

So, looks like the key to avoiding this snafu is to first start up a single player game before you try co-op with the new stuff. That must be why I didn't have a problem when RockyTop and I played co-op.

Best downloadable content to date. I had 6 guys harpooned to my car as I was driving around the city. It's my way of saying, if you do crime, you're going to be harpooned to my car for everyone to see

A little wordy, but it gets the message across.
