New Crackdown Pack!

"Gettin' Busy" Bonus Pack Content Download

(800 MS Points)
Published May 10, 2007
New vehicles, weapons, game modes, equipment, achievements—this is a huge Crackdown™ update! For only 800 Microsoft Points, you'll soon be the king of Pacific City with these expanded gameplay options.
Don't forget, there's also a free game update and a new "Free-For-All" Download Pack available in Marketplace.

Load up the rockets and take to the streets.
New Vehicles
Three new choices are now available in the Agency garage.
  • Agency Buggy: The double wishbone suspension absorbs the bumps in spectacular fashion as it rides over anything—even when scaling near vertical surfaces. The roof-mounted, independently aiming mini-gun is activated with either B or the Left Bumper.
  • Agency Racecar: This ridiculously powerful mono-cockpit race car has acceleration that blows away everything else in the city. With incredible grip and top speed, those road race leaderboard times are set to tumble!
  • Agency Armored Vehicle: Like the Agency Truck, the AAV can smash through barricades with ease. Tank-like in design, occupants are completely protected from assault. It's surprisingly fast and agile for its size, and rockets are fired from independently aiming main turret with either B or the Left Bumper.
Street Racing
Pacific City is finally free from crime. Agency activity is once again concealed behind closed doors. The remaining peacekeepers, having very little to do, quickly grew restless. To satisfy their lingering lust for danger, high risk Street Racing tournaments have been established across the city.

There are no rules in hardcore street racing.
Compete in six different on and off road races across the city with six radically different vehicle options per circuit. Race against up to 11 other "do or die" opponents, including another player over Xbox LIVE®. Compare fastest race times as well as race wins for that session with your co-op "buddy." Post your fastest time per circuit to the online leaderboards. Take advantage of the world of Crackdown to win by any means necessary—create road blocks, hit gas tanks, or simply slam opponents into submission.
New Equipment
As if an Agent needed more ways to cause mayhem in Pacific City, even more weapons have been added to the already potent Agency arsenal.

Say hello to my little friend.
Lock and load and take out criminals with these lethal new additions:
  • MSK Lobber: Mini-rockets are thrown out from the rotating muzzle section before their boosters ignite and swarm towards their target. The homing mini-rockets are incredibly agile making this the ultimate fire-and-forget weapon.
  • EX1 Proximity Charge: Similar to the standard issue Limpet Charge, these can be attached to any surface. A visible local field is generated when the charge is set. Enemy penetration of this field will result in detonation. In a bid to reduce the extensive civilian casualties lying in the wake of any crime fighting Agent, intelligent threat-sensing technology prevents the charge from detonating when a firearm is not detected. Unfortunately, the technology isn't quite intelligent enough to prevent detonation due to field penetration by another Agent.
  • HRX Harpoon: This deadly gas-powered mechanism is capable of launching a lethal, razor-sharp spear over large distances with incredible accuracy. It can be used to ensure enemies "stick around" when you need them to, or to attach perps to their vehicle if you need to take them downtown … or around town.
  • MZ360 Mini-Gun: The ultimate fast-firing projectile weapon, this new blaster takes some time to "spin-up" to full fire rate, but the devastation is incredible. It comes with a bountiful supply of high-caliber ammunition.
  • VS1 Cloaking Device: This is rhe perfect device for the Agent that likes his action served psychotic, or for anyone that just needs to get under the radar from time to time. It renders you barely visible and off radar. The VS1 is fuelled by Agency suit armor—when depleted an Agent can find themselves distressingly vulnerable.
New Game Types
These new competitive game types will make sure that things never get boring in Pacific City.
  • Max-Agility Rooftop Races: Compete solo or with two players in races across the city rooftops. There are nine new races in total, each with its own solo and co-op leaderboards. Four are with Los Muertos, three with The Volk, and The Shai-Gen play host to the remaining two. No, you won't need to complete these too for the existing "Over Our Heads" Achievement!
  • Stockpile: Each district (including Agency Island) hosts a Stockpile game—clearly identified with its unique beacon. Stockpile can be played solo or in co-op. The aim is to collect all the game specific orbs (also marked on the tracker) in the fastest time. The best times are uploaded to the online leaderboards. Two players can work cooperatively to find all the orbs in the fastest possible time, or simply compete for the highest score when the time runs out. In the case of competitive play, it doesn't always pay to do the grunt work of collection—when an Agent is killed he drops a third of his spoils.
  • Checkpoint Chase: This is a highly addictive two-player competitive game that makes the very most of the world of Crackdown. The game can only be initiated in one place—the Agency Garage. A random target destination is identified somewhere on the city, but is only marked on the tracker (not the map). The first person to reach the destination gains a point and activates the next checkpoint. The winner is the first to 10 points. Other than that, Checkpoint Chase has no rules!
  • Rocket Tag: The ultimate competitive combat event! Each of the 21 gang boss lairs now also plays host to a game of Rocket Tag. When the game is activated the players are randomly assigned as "hunter" and "hunted." The hunter has a straight-shootin' "Hotshot" rocket launcher … and more ammo than he could ever need! The hunted has … a pistol. To win, the hunted player must avoid being caught in the blast of the rocket launcher for 60 seconds. Simple!
You can essentially "try before you buy" by partnering cooperatively with another player that has purchased the "Getting' Busy Bonus Pack". This will give both players full access to pack's goodies, for that session. Trust us when we say that once you sample the fun of this pack, you'll want to "Get Busy" every time!
Achievements
The new content brings with it seven new achievements (taking the overall total to a nice round 50). Everyone knows that 100 points were missing from the original game—and in fact we're repaying that debt with some serious interest! In total the download pack unlocks a whopping 350 gamerscore!

Along with this there is/will be a update(free, naturally, you don't need to buy the pack) to the game, fixing alot of annoying things and enhancing other things.

Personally, I love it! Along with some Oblivion mods, this'll be the first thing I'll get once I get my damn delivery!... been a week now since I ordred my live GOLD and other stuff...

I havent brought it yet but im going to as ive played a game with Steves cousin and it unlocks them if someone whos paid for them hosts the game. The harpoon gun is really good and sticks the enemies to walls and is one shot kill and the stealth is a lot of fun to play around with. All the new vehicles are really good aswel and i must say its well worth the small price you have to pay for it.

Tell me, as I couldn't figure it out to 100% certainty - can the "tank" shoot stuff?

You mean the Agency Armored Vehicle? If so then yes it can it fires rockets with the left trigger.

Awsome! How much ammo? Unlimited like the Agency Supercar? And how's the aiming? I never really liked that the Supercar always fired straight ahead, you had to turn the entire car around to switch targets...

Aaahh... sorry if I ask too many questions, but I am really excited! :lol:

Ive only been the gunner as its a two seater so im not sure how it targets as the driver but its fairly easy. Just turn the turret 360 degrees and fire, the rockets are slightly delayed by a split second when you push the trigger and sort of swerve instead of firing straight.

Here is what the update does:

Free Crackdown Update on Xbox LIVE



Published May 10, 2007
The new update for Crackdown™ is now available on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace. The update will install automatically next time you insert your Crackdown disc while connected to the service, and the update includes several cool new game play improvements.
(Note: This update is different from the new Crackdown download content packs, which are also now available on Marketplace. There's a free content download as well as a premium content download package.)

Get ready for more mayhem in Pacific City.
Check out the new features in this free update:
  • Reset Gangs: In place of the current option to reset the city's crime (unlocked by defeating all 21 bosses), the gangs can now be completely reset in the main campaign.
  • Easier Orb Hunting: Imagine how great it would be if when searching for the last remaining hidden agility orbs the audio range on each of them got wider as fewer remained … well imagine no longer. Audio "ping" range is now gradually increased when searching for the last 50 percent of hidden orbs, and 20 percent of agility orbs.
  • Ground Strike: Available to a four star strength agent only, it is now possible to slam downwards while airborne by holding the attack button. The resulting strike is deadly to anything it hits, with an additional shockwave stunning nearby enemies.
  • Improved firing over low walls: Agents can now fire downwards at a greater angle while taking partial cover behind a low wall.
  • Targeting enhancements: You can utilize improved target lock prioritization of enemies behind vehicles, as well as live enemies over corpses.
  • Those damn fire hydrants! The fire hydrants were near indestructible but were also hard to spot. Now, though still best avoided, they can be smashed over for a far less unreasonable penalty.
  • Stunt Ring Visibility: Stunt Rings are now much easier to locate.
  • No "Lefty Flip" on vehicle control: The lefty flip on vehicle control has been removed so that left-handed players can aim with the left stick, but still steer with the right stick.
  • Persisting Charges and Mines: Limpet Charges (and the new Proximity Mines) will persist at all times within the game world and not just when within a certain range of the player.
  • Distant explosions: No matter where the explosion(s), you'll be able to see them provided your have a line of sight … it's always a clear day in Pacific City!
  • Ramp Truck issues: Some vehicles didn't seem to get on well with the ramp truck, but we never intended this to be a SUV-only toy. Now none of them can get enough of it!
  • Camera enhancements: A better camera has been added for performing vehicle stunts or driving on near vertical surfaces (particularly with Top Level Agency SUV or the new Peacekeeper Buggy) as well as vertigo-inducing tweaks for those long leaps of faith.
  • Player-to-player precision shots: We've dropped the PvP lock-on but now another agent can be hit with a head or leg shot using normal targeting.

I personally love the Matrix-esque "Ground Strike" - hilarious and with a million uses!

I was there when my cousin purchased this over Xbox Live and I've never seen anyone so excited. The new pack looks pretty cool. ^_^
