SWEEEEEEET!

how is it so far?

Here's a hint- if you download it, and are wondering where to go, tool around for a few minutes. You'll pick up a radio signal which activates the quest and marker.

I've done the first leg of the quest so far, which involves fighting through to an Outcast base. Pretty good fighting, just got inside the base and talked to the leader. Have yet to get in the simulator though.

Too bad, I really want it.  Damn lack of money.  Ah well, it'll give me a chance to finish everything else in the game up.

I have no idea where to go to purchase this for my PC version.

Edit: Nevermind. I had to do some stupid GFWL thing. I figured it'd be some plug-in like they did for Oblivion.

Sweet. I've been waiting for a reason to get back into Fallout.

Though, if it's anything like the official Oblivion mods add-ons, its a waste of money."

I got Operation Anchorage and so far it's pretty awesome. I played it for maybe two hours. It's nothing like the crappy plug-ins that came out for Oblivion (actually, you don't even get a .esp or whatever).

Met up with the outcasts... killed the mutants that were in that open area... we got up to the door way and for some reason my rifle wasn't out so I accidentally started punching an outcast like a retard. They didn't like that.

mmm 800 not to bad but i forget al about this and already spent about 15£ on sonic2 worms and goldeaxe lol have to wait till next motrhn

I'm a couple of hours in and it's pretty good.

** possible spoilers **

I'll download it when I get home this afternoon after work.  ^__

Oh, schweet!

Finally finished it, it was short but sweet....

I still haven't finished the original yet

I wished this was on PS3. :(

Enjoy guys.

"I still haven't finished the original yet"

Damn so many DLCs that I want to get.  I'll spend just about the same for a full price game upgrading Fallout 3, Endwar, and GTA4.

I don't know when I'll get around to doing this since I still have to play the game 2 more times; 1 good, and 1 evil.  One of those playthroughs is going to be a "100%" game.  I plan to get and see everything...which would include the DLCs.

That's what I'm concerned about as well. After the fantastic expansions for

Morrowind,

Bethesda brought bucketfuls of suck to Oblivion's addons and despite the quality of Fallout 3 I'm not expecting miracles out of this extra content. Especially with it costing over $30 when all is said and done."

Just finished downloading it, and will post impressions later on.

It feels like you're exploring Momma Dolce's, only for around 2 and a half hours (the first segment, pre-squad command anyway). I got a little bored and decided to go do something else (this) so I don't have impressions on the main island.

One thing I've definitely noticed is the visibly improved A.I. It now flanks you, takes cover, takes up positions, etc. It does seem to have a few recognition issues though, although these seem to be related to your companion character for the first part of the mission, because his A.I. is fucked to high hell and causes people around him to do weird things.

Hopefully they'll collect everything up and put it on a retail disc down the line.  If not, oh well.  I enjoyed the base game enough without the DLC.

Hope you all have fun with it, though.

i'm just happy that i got the gauss rifle at the end of the sim.

I just downloaded it and was under the assumption that it would be a mission outside of my Main character.
Dammit, I'm holding off doing the rest of Fallout 3 since I've maxed out at level 20 and want the killing and missions I finished onward to give me XP for the new level 30 cap. However this seems to still use my existing character and thusly cheating me out of XP for playing it. I'd be pissed if I didn't have other games to play while waiting for the level cap to be raised

Over $30 for PC version ?? I think I'll pass for now.

I'm under the impression they're not raising the level cap until the third expansion. I didn't get any XP for killing Super Mutants at the start of the mission, so I quit.

You can run the content on any character at any level after you leave the Vault, so if you want to play it but don't want to waste the XP, you can just start a new file.

Or you could wait and have a ton of new content to play in March.

I am quite interested in this. It looks really good. I will wait a week or two though, as I am just getting back into Fallout 3, and want to raise my level a little bit more. I do wish though that they added the level thirty to the first downloadable content though.

I missed one of the intelligence cases. Does any one know what happens if you get them all?

Lokks like i will be waiting until March then since i am also at the max level. no xp points will suck. Well, i guess i can get started on a new character for a second playthrough, ninja with melee & small guns sounds good.

"I missed one of the intelligence cases. Does any one know what happens if you get them all?"

thanks lies

"Met up with the outcasts... killed the mutants that were in that open area... we got up to the door way and for some reason my rifle wasn't out so I accidentally started punching an outcast like a retard. They didn't like that."

it was very short i dont think it was overly woth it but it was cool wile it lasted.

Man...I just finished it and must say that I'm underwhelmed. A lot of precision ammo picking up, and just a lack of cool things kind of killed it for me. Oh well, hopefully the others will be better.

A fun 2 and a half hours. I had a lot of fun sneaking around and running around with the squad (although their AI fucks up to no end when taking out the Chimera Depot) and the end was pretty bad-ass. The rewards definitely make it worth it. Now to find out how to repair a Gauss Rifle...

I finished the first quest of blowing up the three gun turrents last night.  I am really liking it so far.  Can't wait to infiltrate the Chinese base with my strike team.  We'll show those communist bastards who boss. 

At the end the Scribe lady and I were in the armory and all the sudden all the outcasts attacked. WTF? Did that happen to anyone one else?

"At the end the Scribe lady and I were in the armory and all the sudden all the outcasts attacked. WTF? Did that happen to anyone one else?"

I'm really enjoying it. Short, yes, but honestly more than I expected.

I'm a little annoyed that I missed an Intel case and apparently can't go back to get it and the Covert Ops perk, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to load and old save and rerun it just for +3 to lockpicking. ;)

Oh, and I'm not sure it's worth 800 points/$9.99. I guess it depends how much you like the game. I'm obsessed, so it's worth it for me personally. If you aren't a very big fan of the regular game, though, it might seem like not much for your buck.
