Forum:DLC Anchorage - It's Rubbish!!

Well for a start I am totally p****d off that this DLC requires you to be online. I haven't managed to get it to work offline despite the "fixes" posted on here and as I play this game primarily when I'm away I'm hardly ever going to be able to play it. I DO NOT recall this "small" issue being mentioned before I downloaded it from the M$ site.

Any way now I've gotten to play Anchorage I think it's garbage. It is completely linear like Half Life was and I'm sick of klling an edless stream of boring Chinese soldiers with wooden AI. I've done the artillery attack but now I'm wondering if I could be bothered doing the rest.

I hope the Pitt is better.

Perhaps it isn't the most fulfilling quest, but the sheer volume of crap you can get out of it through glitches and rewards is insane.

As much 10mm, 5.56mm, 3.08mm, Shotgun shells, and missiles you have the patience to grab (hell you can get so much you can use it as money)!

A Gauss rifle, Shocksword (one of the most powerful melee weapons in the game), combat armor and helmet, and generic weapons that NEVER degrade (money in the bank since you never have to repair them)!

The Chinese Stealth suit which makes stealing so much easier, and through a glitch allows you to equip tons of headgear, making insane stat boosts.

Plus there's the infinite exp glitch, if you want that sort of thing.

Power Armor training available at the beginning of the game.

And finally a little stat boost perk that's the icing on the DLC flavor cake.

So yeah, maybe it's a tad boring, but it makes the rest of the game very interesting. Cavesloth 18:23, 1 April 2009 (UTC)Cavesloth
