Hey, Capcom is still behind Lost Planet 2. The developer is set to whip out the second map pack for the game, a two-map map offering aptly named Map Pack 2, next week across PSN and Xbox Live for $4.99 and 400 Microsoft Moon Bucks respectively.

If you're a new or old Lost Planet fan, you'll feel at home with either of the maps. The 16-player capable Dockyard Battle is pulled from the game's campaign. It's an online-focused recreation of episode four's factory and battleship setting. Frozen Wasteland, the other map, is one of the shining stars from the original Lost Planet's multiplayer.

Capcom dropped some assets for both. Notice the new coat of paint on Frozen Wasteland in the latter two images.

Insert "Brad (the other one) sucks" quote here.
 
Not really though.
Lost Planet is good if you can get past the quirky controls.  It's the Demon's Souls of shooters.

The game still won't be good

Interesting...

Hope these maps are better

Frozen Wasteland + Ospreys yes yes yes yes yes

YOU'RE PLAYING IT RIGHT IDIOT!!11! HAMBURGERS AND FRENCH FRIES!
 
In all seriousness, I couldn't care less about this.

Not a good deal on the price either way. $5 for two maps? :|

I like the game, it's the train level that did it. Four people working together to fire a massive cannon at a worm from dune? Amazing. Maybe I will pick this up, along with the other one.

Awesome. Can't wait to play them.

I'll be getting these maps even though I likely won't be able to play them outside player matches and I am really into ranked at the moment. Still I'm loving the hell out of Lost Planet 2!

I fucking love lost planet 2 but I'd never would pay for more maps 
you don't get money in multiplayer

Frozen Wasteland means I am sold.

Keep refreshing that Kotaku front page, killer.

2 maps for 5 dollars no thank you.

Pardon my french, but fuck all this DLC in games lately. The games been out a month or so and their on Map Pack 2? I'd like to buy a game and know I'm getting a whole game, not a partial game that I then have to buy DLC for to get a full experience. Developers build games now, then selectively take out shit and sell it as downloadable. Ridiculous.

Eh I'm kinda liking Lost Planet 2, its pretty insanely punishing though.
Like the train level I just got to with the cannons which fire rockets that almost never miss and always knock you down and off the train, insta killing you.
 
Die enough and you have to start the whole mission over. Teh suck.

Dude?

What the hell does this mean?

Lost Planet 2 is a blast, especially w/friends.  I won't pay for maps, but they do look amazing, just like the game.

flawed but fun.  the game COULD have been made better, but it wasn't. most games COULD have, this one more than most.  but its still so fun, and so rewarding when playing with friends.
 
But $5 for 2 maps, and no new customization options/weapons/abilities?   Really capcom?  Poor form.

Seriously. Lost Planet 2 is a bad game... If you play it solo. If you play it with a group on co-op of atleast 2 to 3 players then the game gets way more fun. The problem is that Brad Shoemiester played the game and had to do a review before the game was properly released. The Co-op didn't pick up until more people had the game and had beaten it. Which he couldn't have experienced and most other reviewers fell under the same situation.
 
Also the game campaign is meant to be played multiple times. After a certain point you start unlocking crazy ass weapons like a shotgun that shoots confetti, a gun that when used in melee turns into a flaming blade, a balloon gernade that blows up and throws acid on enemies. Even a shield that can turn into a giant laser that you can fire with the combination of at least 2 to all 4 of your co-op buddies giving you their thermal energy to fire it. A device that turns all your teammates invisible in a globe. Ask Brad Shoemaker if he saw any of that and I assure you brad only experiences the worst side of lost planet 2. Which I don't blame him. A game with FORCED need of co-op being played before release when not that many people have the game before it's released is a bad situation all around.

I haven't played the full game yet, but I thought the MP demo was fun. I might rent the game just for the 4 player co-op.
