  • avatar Retaliation Pack Available Now! Posted by Electronic Arts at 02:08PM on Tuesday, May, 17, 2011

    The Retaliation Pack, the very downloadable content bundle for Crysis 2 is now available for $9.99 (or 800 Microsoft Points)! This new content pack grants players new ways to prove their dominance on the field of battle, and new environments to explore and master, becoming the ultimate weapon while playing Crysis 2 online.

    Included in the Retaliation Pack are four new maps, supporting all online multiplayer modes (Instant Action, Team Instant Action, Capture the Relay, Crash Site, and Extraction) as you battle the enemy online, armed with the Nanosuit 2. The maps included in this content pack are:

    Transit:

    The Tidal wave that swept across the city brutally exposed the subway system when a giant sinkhole opened up. Yet Liberty’s light remains held aloft symbolising the victory of humanity over the alien invaders. This large battlefield is a snipers dream with encircling high ground surrounding the flooded landscape below. The subway tunnels provide opportunities for more brutal close range fighting and a welcome respite from the high powered scopes.

    Shipyard

    With the battle against the Ceph still raging, the Navy hastily put this ship in for repairs in this derelict shipyard, until the evacuation took away all the labour. With the area now abandoned, Marines and CELL now fight for the ships powerful weapons systems. The ship itself provides an advantageous view point, use its sheers size to get the drop on your enemies. Snipers have excellent lines of sight, but the hull of the ship provides plenty of cover.

    Park Avenue

    Park Avenue saw fierce fighting and the scars are still all too evident. This once bustling area was eerily quiet until now. Controlling the central bridge gives command over this battlefield but leaves you vulnerable to attack from all sides. Stealthy players can lurk at street level ready to ambush the unwary.

    Compound

    After the infection spread the last remaining survivors were evacuated to the mainland, leaving this CryNet outpost unmanned. On this large leafy night-time map be careful not to be exposed by searchlights. The control tower offers a great view of the surrounding area but the nano-glass walls prevent players from shooting in or out. Descend below the surface and follow the sewers to gain ground and assault enemies occupying fortified positions in the compound.

    The Crysis 2 Retaliation Pack is available now at $9.99 (or 800 Microsoft Points) for all available platforms. Adapt. Upgrade. Dominate. Be the weapon. Only in Crysis 2.

    Wow Crytech stop screwing me over!!!!! I bought spent $300 on a new GPU because I thought this game was going to have DirectX 11.... NOPE!!!! This game isn't even using DirectX 10 like the Crysis 1!!!! No its using DirectX 9 way to take a step back in technology. And you don't even have a SDK. NOW YOU TRY TO MAKE ME PAY FOR MAPS WTF!!! All of this should have been in the game before you released the game! All of these maps are from the campaign so it isn't like its anything new!

Remember that these are the minimum requirements for the game below… \/ Operating System: Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7, with the latest Service Pack Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo at 2Ghz, or AMD Athlon 64 x2 2Ghz, or better Memory: 2GB (Vista requires 3GB) Hard disk space: 9GB Video: Nvidia 8800GT with 512MB RAM, ATI 3850HD with 512MB RAM, or better Sound: DirectX Compatible Sound Card DirectX: 9.0c

    I hoped, I really did sincerely hope, that the $10 price tag was just a rumor. I can see that you are now following the path of CoD. Let me give you a small tip EA: the CoD path is a bad one.

    TO ALL PEOPLE INTERESTED IN BUYING *** you need to buy it ingame, at least that is the way I found. go multiplayer -> download -> select currency and after short loading *** will show up. after you added it, go to cart and click buy. If you dont have credit card connected to MyCrisis account (and you probably dont), the game will ask you to do it. now just follow and do the payment THUMBS UP SO PEOPLE CAN SEE

      Thanks for the heads up, slamazaur! This is not explained well on this site. The content refers one to mycrysis or the ea store and neither steers you to the way to do this. Many Thanks! Now if I could figure out how to unzip the folder! LOL!

    before launching the sale packages, try to fix the problem of getting down the online servers on pc. Crytek has requested the collaboration of players from pc to buy the original game so I bought it, but could not yet play a game even more than 5 minutes. I want it neat or my money back or never buy any Crysis

    Нет уж увольте и доллара за карты не дам. Игру купил еще и карты надо покупать, о чем вы вообще думаете? Это консольщики кушают все что не попадя - с PC это не пройдет. Гнилой подход выбрали. Причем карты опять 2x2 и без техники.

    Wow! completely disappointed in the greed direction these companies have taken. I pay more for a game now days and get less of a game. Way to let down and treat your fan base that is dwindling away. Common EA! Don't let us down with BF3.

    I Hope EA is going to make soon release of Crysis 2 successor ( Like Crysis Warhead for Crysis ) after seeing all complain from PC Gamer on DX11 missing. Because releasing of DX11 Patch now is too let.
