BioShock 2’s Rapture Metro Pack not dropping this week

Various news sources had previously told us that the Rapture Metro Pack for BioShock 2 would be dropping sometime this week. Well, 2K Games has come in to clear things up a bit and has said that the DLC pack will not be droppin this week.

However, they have let us know that there will be 6 new multiplayer maps, 3 new Achievements/Trophies and a rebirth feature that is very similar to Call of Duty’s prestige feature. Reach level 50, rebirth and rank down to level one but you’re rewarded with a special mask. Pretty neat.

2K failed to give us a new release date but they have said that when it does drop it will be for 800 Microsoft Points or $9.99.

Rumor: BioShock MMO on its way

It seems like rumors are flying every which way about an MMO being developed for pretty much every video game franchise out there. But really? Halo? Come on. BioShock, on the other hand, would make a bit more sense as an MMO which is why it’s a relief that rumors have arose stating that a massively multiplayer online game is in the works based on it.

There has been virtually no official word on whether or not these rumors are true so we’ll just have to wait and see.

BioShock 2 sells 3 million, GTA 4 sells 15 million

While BioShock 2 hasn’t received the same critical acclaim that the first title did, it has still received some pretty damn good reviews. And reviewers apparently aren’t the only ones who like the game as it was just announced that BioShock 2 has sold 3 million copies across the Xbox 360 PC and PS3.

That’s not all though, Take-Two also took the time to let us know that Grand Theft Auto IV has sold 15 million copies worldwide since its release.

Some pretty big numbers here now I just wonder how much their sequels will sell.

PC gamers complain over BioShock 2’s missing features

The community agrees, BioShock 2 is a great game, but there are some gripes users have been having with the PC version that 2K Games has recently confirmed. First and foremost, the game apparently does not support a true widescreen format.  Why? Well, we haven’t a clue.

Additionally, users who have been trying to play the game with their Xbox 360 controller have found the hardware to be incompatible with the game. This issue, we do have a reason for. 2K Games says that early on in the game’s development they decided to leave out gamepad support so they could get the “mouse and keyboard control absolutely right”.

Bummer, but then again, why not just play the game on your 360?
