Major Nelson posted on his blog today about the new Rainbow Six Vegas Players Pack Black Edition. It's available for 800 points, the same amount that the Red Edition was available for, but something is fishy here.
When we downloaded Red oh-so-many moons ago, we got two new game modes and five new maps. What's included in the Black Pack?
"Not to be outdone by the Red Edition, the award winning development team for Rainbow Six Vegas continues to raise the stakes on the game Team Xbox called the "Multiplayer Game of the year" with the all new Player's pack: Black Edition. This pack includes 5 maps; 3 new never before seen maps like Red Lotus and Wartown, a reduxed version of Streets, and a very special appearance by an original classic, PRESIDIO from the award-winning Rainbow Six 3. Place your bets on the Player's Packs: Black Edition to complete the ultimate Vegas experience."
Now, even though we paid the same amount for Gears of War maps, this feels 100% like a grade-A rip-off. On top of that it's 5 maps, two of them are OLD. Old maps aren't a bonus! I don't know who's running the show over at Ubi's DLC department, but that fool needs some serious job termination. Giving us LESS than they did before for the same amount of money is insane - people, don't buy this. Please.
