GET OUT OF HERE, RANGER: Metro 2033 'Ranger Pack' DLC In The Works

So you played Metro 2033, became a master of the Metro tunnels, and didn't think it was hard enough, huh? Then 4A and THQ have just the thing you need.

Just announced , the Ranger Pack is going to be making the already hardcore action-survival shooter much, much hardcore-er. The pack plans to add an entirely new mode of play, as well as several new weapons, and 250 gamerscore (On Xbawks) for completing it.

The new mode removes the games scant HUD completely, makes all weapons both personal and hostile do more damage, reduces the amount of ammo/healthpacks in the game, and just makes the game harder in general. Honestly, this sounds like a day one download to me, I love hard games.

Check out the full announcement on Facebook.

Metro 2033 DLC Details Due This Week

So earlier today, THQ and 4A Games announced that they would be giving details later on this week about DLC for Metro 2033. The news came in the form of an official tweet, which revealed that "like a fine single malt, the DLC is almost done"..."we hope to be able to take the wraps off this week"

In previous tweets, 4A hinted that the DLC is "probably not what you expect", and confirmed that it wouldn't include single player narrative content or missing levels. My money is on a prologue mission.

On a related note, I recently read the novel of Metro 2033 in , and I recall a distinctive lack of DLC for the book. I think I'm going to submit a question to 4A about the lack of post-release paper support for the franchise.
