Today, Midway revealed that John Woo's Stranglehold will be getting brand new multiplayer content and achievements sometime soon. The Stranglehold DLC will feature ten new multiplayer maps including Kowloon Market, Wong's Estate Grounds and Rooftops of Chicago as well as twenty-one new character skins. The new content will also usher in ten new achievements worth a total of 250 gamerscore. A firm release date or pricing details have not been revealed yet, but one factoid we are sure of is that the new DLC will only be released to North American Xbox Live members. But maybe that's a typo. Actually, now that we think about it, is anyone even playing Stranglehold multiplayer anymore to care about this DLC anyway? (evil grin)

You know... I really enjoyed the demo. I bought the game, and ... meh, not so much. Not wasting anymore of my money.

@ 1, Well I'm pretty sure the DLC will be free. If nobody's playing it then that explains why they're releasing it ya know? I also played the demo and liked it. I recommended it to my dad and he bought it and hated it and gave it to me. I WAS gonna hop on the multiplayer, but now I don't see the point. COD4 has brainwashed me!

well, when I referred to paying for DLC, I meant this quote:
"A firm release date or pricing details have not been revealed yet, but one factoid we are sure of is that the new DLC will only be released to North American Xbox Live members."
I haven't even put this game in the drive since Bioshock, so I probably won't be getting the DLC.

according to Kotaku, the DLC will cost 250 points....
I wonder if there ever been DLC that no one bought?

I played Stanglehold last night and there was a grand total of only 4 matches being hosted between ranked and player matches. That's just sad.

I got this a little while back used but when I tried to play multiplayer there was no one on at all so I don't really see the point in getting this.

Don't there have to be more then just you online looking for matches in order to qualify for multiplayer?

Dude! I bought this game and loved it. But, every time I tried to play multiplayer, nobody was on. Honestly, I don't think anybody bought it. So what good are extra multiplayer achievements if nobody is ever on? Do we have to organize a night where we all play for points? To the X3F-mobile!

Barley anyone played this when it came out online, but of those that did I wiped the floor with them, got the 1000 GS in about 3 days and sold the game. Some more of the campaign is what this game needed not more of the multiplayer that noone really cares about.

I liked the game a lot, but I was always a fan of Hard Boiled. Frankly it was a great single player campaign, but Tequila Time just doesn't work well in multiplayer.

The multiplayer looked incredibly shite when I was watching previews for it. Seems a good deal, 10 new maps 21 characters. I'd pay about 800 point easy if that was coming for a game that was fun online

rooftops of chicago sounds really badass, but i don't have this game and probably never will, so...
