A chunk of free and pay-for DLC will be coming to Crackdown 2 "soon," according to publisher Microsoft.  
 
Said packs are set to share the same name (Toy Box), so think of the paid part of the content as more of an expansion on the free stuff. A result, perhaps, of neither really having the amount of meaningful content to be able to stand on its own.
   
That said, the best part of free content should should feel familiar to those who seriously get a kick out of Crackdown 2's ridiculous style. Keys to the City mode, the beloved debug cheat menu from the first game, is indeed coming. And similar to last time, it'll give you the ability to do insane, game-breaking stuff. A few examples of what will be available from the menu in Crackdown 2 are as follows: time of the day freezing, unlimited access resources like ammo and health, skill boosting, and weapons and vehicles spawning.

There's a bit more to free part of Toy Box. Specifically, the DLC adds a level six agility reward that gives your Agent's rockets in the bottoms of their boots. It also adds in a competitive online mode called Vehicle Tag, which we'll assume is similar to Rocket Tag but with cars.

Free.

Agent Armour colours...bleh....They'll never replace the nationality diverse and awesome Agents from the original Crackdown.

Nothing in the world can make me pop in this game again

Hm well it's a surprising price all things considered..Microsoft has a habit of charging to much for this stuff. 
 
I'll check out the free stuff and see if i feel like getting back into crackdown i suppose.

Alright! Finally, dlc for a game that's not as good as the first one and the first one wasn't that good to begin with.          Epic-Fail!!!!  I always wanted to type that.

Trying to get people to like pay for DLC is like trying to get your kids to eat vegetables. You can hide it among some free crap, but that doesn't help much.

game just got way too repetitive for me and the fact I was 6 beacons away from beating it just made me want to stop playing

Would you look at that. Stuff that should've been in the game in the first place that might've helped it seem more like a sequel instead of a practical carbon copy of the first game.

Colors! 
 
They sure know how to adjust an RGB slider!

I'm a DLC whore so I'll probably pay for the other stuff.

No thanks

this sounds like " ok, so we know we didnt do enough for crackdown 2, so here more crap!!!!"

I think this game needed DLC a lot sooner.  I still have my copy but it pains me to even think of putting it in as I would really only be hunting orbs & going for achievements.

i would buy it all. to bad this game ain't on ps3.

yay

would prefer more single player campaign missions. but this is ok.  

Wow, this will make the game way better! Nope, it's still shitty.

" Nothing in the world can make me pop in this game again "

we already knew this was coming out
 
without a date this is just old news

I think I'll get crackdown 2 once this comes out, I personally loved nr. 1 and I'm way hyped to play more of the same.

   Brad Nicholson, You do know that if you edit an article, it appears twice in the RSS feed? Not just the new revision is visible, but also the old.
 
Carry on fighting the good fight
-Three dog.

i was wondering when they were going to give us the keys to the city

I'll pass...

lmao who the fuck still plays this anymore lol

Cool, now there will be DLC for people to not play either :D

What if someone pointed a gun at your brain and demanded that you play Crackdown 2 for five minutes or meet your maker? "

Move on? I haven't even bought it, yet. Since there's no multiplayer, I don't need to buy it any time soon. I'll give this a shot when it's going for $20.

Rented the game, beat it, found everything, and returned it.  I don't think I have much of an incentive to go back.

should have all already been in the game

" Move on? I haven't even bought it, yet. Since there's no multiplayer, I don't need to buy it any time soon. I'll give this a shot when it's going for $20. "

Oh man too late, I sold it.

I bought the first Crackdown's DLC, and had a blast with it,  so for 7 bucks i'll buy this one too,  seems like it adds some interesting stuff, and i'm always down for more achievements

There is multiplayer?! 4 player online coop. "

Hopefully the game itself drops in price around the time this comes out.

I couldn't even finish this piece of shit.

I consider multi-player and co-op to be decidedly different things. I don't consider co-op to be the traditional concept of "multiplayer". That is, playing alongside other people in a game versus playing against other people in a game. I can't think of any time I've ever played a co-op portion of any game, ever. Including Modern Warfare 2 (co-op seems to typically work best if you are playing with friends as opposed to strangers that you can enjoy multilplayer with -- and since I don't really know any gamers -- much less those who play the same systems and games as myself -- I dont' throw down much for the co-op aspect of games).  I started to get excited near release, but when it came down to the general agreement that "it's like the first one, but not as good" . . . I kind of had to step away from the box. At the full price point, at least. "

This is too little too late. Given this is a sequel, this "extra" stuff probably should have been in the main game so it actually differed from the first. Haven beaten the game, PASS.

Ive barely touched this game and I purchased it.  I just get bored too quick,  I dont know what it is.  Anyways,  I just DL'd the 560MSP dlc and was just wondering with the "Keys To Tthe City" mode on,  am I still able to unlock achievements?  'Cause it sure would make things alot more interesting going through the game with that mode on....

Anyone having an issue of the game freezing when loading up your game, with this new DLC?
