CAPCOM TO RELEASE DOWNLOADABLE MAP PACKS FOR LOST PLANET™: EXTREME CONDITION FOR XBOX 360™

Seven New Multiplayer Maps Coming Over the Next Few Months

SUNNYVALE, Calif – Feb. 16, 2007 – Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced plans to offer downloadable multiplayer map packs for Lost Planet™: Extreme Condition for Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. The first map pack will cost 400 Microsoft Points™, with pricing on the following packs to be determined later. Lost Planet, which carries a "T" rating for teen audiences by the ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board), can be found on retail shelves around the world.

“We’re committed to bringing new content to the thriving community of Lost Planet fans,” said Charles Bellfield, vice president, marketing, Capcom Entertainment, Inc. “The development team is steadily working on additional environments to provide players with new ways to enjoy the intense Lost Planet brand of action.”

The first pack is planned to be released via Xbox Live® Marketplace on or about March 9 and contains two new multiplayer levels: “Radar Field,” a close quarters facility which is under construction and has a giant radar that provides a peak vantage point, and “Island 902,” a sprawling Pacific-themed battlefield with several islands connected by bridges as well as vast underwater areas. Additionally, “Battleground,” a multiplayer map originally offered exclusively to those who purchased the Collector’s Edition of the game, will be made available for free to all Lost Planet players. The next two packs, as well as the free Battleground map will be made available in the coming months.

Lost Planet is an epic gaming masterpiece combining a gripping single player campaign and intense multiplayer modes with support for up to 16 players on the Xbox Live® online game service. Taking full advantage of Xbox 360 system’s power, Lost Planet contains sophisticated visuals, with an unmatched level of detail as advanced light sourcing is used to ensure a realistic presentation that enhances every explosion, smoke and particle effect. Enormous world maps unfold as players battle hostile creatures in blistering weather conditions across vast snowfields and deserted cities either on foot or in armed, robotic Vital Suits.

I love this game but I am getting my ass handed to me in multiplayer. Can anybody offer me any tips? My problem is that I shoot at people but I always miss or don't do enough damage. When they shoot me its like one shot one kill. I'll blast a guy 3 times and not kill him. I am wondering what part of the body should I aim for? I always thought the head but that hardly ever works for me. I am 30 years old so maybe thats why.

Heh, not to worry. I still get my butt handed to me. Take Rainbow for instance, there are guys playing in their mid to late forties that own.

I'm in the same boat. Don't really have any answers. I'm sure playing more would help. Most of the people online probably play more in a day than I do in a week.

Lost Planet 'Wars' sequel in the works?
Monday 19-Feb-2007 11:19 AM Rumoured sequel due to hit PS3 and Xbox 360
Capcom is working on a sequel to the recently released Lost Planet for Xbox 360 and PS3, an anonymous blogger with claimed industry contacts has reported.

The unknown poster, who identifies himself only as a caricature named Bruce Kelly, apparently learned of the sequel, entitled Lost Planet Wars, from a contact "close to the happenings at Capcom". But the report doesn't offer any further details like genre or rough release date.

CVG has contacted Capcom for the official line on this rumour, and will report the response the moment one is given.
