March 24: Fallout 3's The Pitt add-on ships this day, taking you to a ruined Pittsburg (my old roomie from Philly's comment: "How would you tell?") as you uncover a possible conspiracy to hide a cure for mutations and decide whether to take down the slavers running the town. The add-on costs 800 Microsoft Points. Also out on 3/24 is the free title update for Gears of War 2, which adds a whole new multiplayer experience system.

March 31: The Snowblind map pack gives Gears of War 2 players a chance to cool off with four new, winter-themed environments: Grindyard, Under Hill, Courtyard, and a frozen version of the Gears of War favorite, Fuel depot. The map pack will run you 800 Microsoft Points.

April 9: Hot on the heels of Snowblind comes the highly-anticipated 800-point Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack, with three new maps: Assembly, Orbital and Sandbox. It costs, you guessed it, 800 Microsoft Points. (If you can't wait, don't forget you can get the Mythic Map Pack now if you buy the Halo Wars Limited Edition--and I can highly recommend that you do.)

April 21: The free Left 4 Dead Survival Pack gives the game a new Survival mode, which pits your group of survivors against never-ending waves of zombie hordes, and adds the "Dead Air" and "Death Toll" maps to Versus mode.

If you're looking forward to The Pitt for Fallout 3, don't be, it's full of glitches, and most people can't even get into the "Downtown" area of the Pitt, which makes it unplayable. I managed to get in, but the textures are all messed up.

* Just after passing through the gate where Werhner leaves you, you will see huge red diamonds with white exclamation marks in them, known as error markings, floating in the air and partially in the ground. This can be seen along the right side all the way up to and alongside of The Pitt Bridge. They can also be seen among the houses along the right side before the bridge.
* The fence before and to the right of The Pitt Bridge will change color and shape (dots, lines, etc.) as you move close or change angles. Click for picture of fence
* Since the walls are missing, the player can walk out past the boundary of the map on the Pip-Boy 3000. The player can walk so far that they will disappear from the Pip-boy 3000 altogether. It has not been confirmed how far the player can go.

Here (http://www.youtube.com/v/ZLOyPCrHquQ)is a video from the Fallout Wiki showing the glitch.


This is a massive screw up by Bethesda, it's as if they haven't even tested the DLC...

You forgot to mention the new Lifehouse map for Left 4 Dead's Survival mode. *evil grin*

Actually, it isn't a fault of Bethesda, it's just a minor glitch where, something that was uploaded in full form was corrupted, so that's why they are taking it down from XBOXLIVE and re adding it later, when they finish uploading it again. As for handling that first thing tuesday morning, Kudo's to them. With digital distribution, you can expect this sort of thing to happen, not everything is as stable was we'd all like sometimes.

i think it's more than a minor glitch, theres major coding thats missing....even with the dlc of anchorage, it was glitchy, but obviously not like this. granted, bethseda did the right thing by taking down the download and posting on their forums that they are working on fixing it. its not a random glitch because obviously its not allowing you to play the game correctly, but because of that, it will be a quick fix. seems as though the coding for the mapping was lost somewhere between bethseda handing xbl over the codes and/or the actual distribution of the content. oblivion had the same problem, but ill be happy when they fix it! :)
