Marathon 2 map pack thrown up on Wednesday
Yes, we know, you've been clamoring for more multiplayer maps like an irate, "plz sir can I hav sum moar" Oliver Twist. You yearn for more of Bungie's first-person shootery, dreaming of running and gunning down corridors you haven't been through countless times already. It'll genuinely make your day to see new downloadable content pop up on the Xbox Live Marketplace, but until a new Halo 3 map pack is announced, that day is still quite a ways off. But here, have some Marathon 2: Durandal stuff in the meantime.
For 250 MS Points (an awkward $3.125), the Jjaro Map Pack will net you 12 new multiplayer environments, playable in King of the Hill, Kill the Man with the Ball and Tag modes, and two achievements worth a combined 30 gamer points. If the game's infamously sickening motion doesn't make you throw up, be sure to grab the content just in case Marathon gets thrown off Xbox Live Arcade.

Oh god, is it just me, or did anyone else get a fucking headache from playing this game?

Yeah but I just counter it by drinking heavily, always does the trick.

Apparently they fixed it. You should be able to play vomit free now.

"thrown up" is right. Who can play a game with a 70 degree FOV and not throw up?

I played marathon on the PC. Never really had a problem looking a the game for an extended period of time.
Does anybody else think that Halo multiplayer feels a lot like Marathon?

Well it is made by the same developer, so I'm not surprised.

All right! The same count of zero people will be playing this online still. And for good reason. This game is 100% PHILLIP PHAILURE people!

They did a patch quite a while ago that pretty much solved my motion sickness problems with the game. It is a pretty fun game when youa ren't dizzy :)

We wouldn't have this problem if we still used bits. Y'know, '2 bits, 4 bits, 6 bits, a dollar.' So, 250 MS points = $3.125 = 25 bits. Score one for pirates.

Wow, this is the last game I would expect to see DLC for. I played the hell out of this game, but I doubt I will download this since I didn't play the multiplayer very much.
