This game brings back some memories. Many a quarter did I drop into these machines in various arcades and pizza parlors as a wee lad.

No firm release date, but looks like it will be coming out this summer for 5 bucks. Definitely worth the stroll down memory lane.

Well, I wasn’t very impressed with Gamerang, and there is a good review for RentZero at Game Rental Guy, so I am giving them a try.

So far it looks promising, I joined at 3:35pm EST yesterday afternoon, and they already shipped my game (BF2:MC) yesterday. They have a 14-day free trial, and they’re located in the middle of the US, so maybe the delivery time will be good.

I’ll keep you posted as to how this rental service goes, I’m sick of GameFly’s ship times.

Ubi (finally) officially announced the new DLC for Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter.

This is all due out by end of this month (June).

The announcement is not very clear, but it looks like for sure we will get:

4 New Maps:

* Coffee Plantation (Evening)
* Shipping Port (Sunset)
* River Depot (Day)
* Jungle Mines (Evening)

Here is a shot of the Jungle Mine map:

The River Depot at Dawn:

Shipping Port:

And 4 Maps we already have with new lighting:

* Fishing Village (Dusk)
* Wharf (Late day)

* Old Town (Morning)
* Nowhere (Evening)

Here is a shot of Nowhere at night:

Fishing Village at Dusk:

Wharf during Late Day:

All new Chapter missions on the 4 new maps for the campaign:

* Coffee Plantation
* Shipping Port
* River Depot
* Jungle Mines

2 New Game types:

* Team Blind Siege
* Team Battle

2 New Camos:

* Canadian CADPAT
* British DPM

4 New Character Faces

5 New Weapons:

They are calling this “Premium Content” which means there will be a price.

They list the maps as “8 Revisited; Relit MP Adversarial Maps: 8 of GRAW’s favorite MP maps are revisited and relit for a new gameplay experience.”

But then they list the maps as:
* Fishing Village (Dusk)
* Wharf (Late day)
* Old Town (Morning)
* Nowhere (Evening)
* Coffee Plantation (Evening)
* Shipping Port (Sunset)
* River Depot (Day)
* Jungle Mines (Evening)

Which is 4 revisited maps and 4 new ones. I don’t know if there are 4 more old maps with new lighting or whoever wrote this press release didn’t know exactly what they were writing about.

I’m glad we finally have an official announcement, but I am pretty disappointed that we will only be getting 4 new MP maps. The much awaited silenced sniper will add a new element to the game, and new camos and faces are a nice touch, but this doesn’t make up for the lack of new maps.

Blind Siege will be great, and I have no idea what Team Battle is. Maybe this will help breathe some new life into this puppy.

No news or announcements were made for a patch or any fix to the game for lagouts, hosting or southpaw issues. No mention of a leaderboard reset either.

Maybe they’ll keep the price at 5 bucks so it will be more palatable.

Well, at least this will be fun for sure, and it is better than nothing.
