Duke Nukem Forever DLC Parodies Call Of Duty, Team Fortress 2, And More
If you thought Duke was dead, think again. Gearbox has announced a new "Hail to the Icons Parody Pack" containing four new multiplayer maps.
The DLC pack will feature four maps, each of which pokes fun at other popular shooters. For example, the "Call of Duke" map (pictured above) is a clear play on Modern Warfare and its ilk. "Inferno" mocks Doom right down to 16-bit graphics and a new "DFG" gun, and "2Forts1Bridge" clearly toys with a classic Team Fortress map. I'm not totally certain what the "Sandpit" map is taking off, but I'm thinking maybe Battlefield Halo?
In addition to the maps, the pack will contain new game modes such as Freeze Tag and Hot Potato. You can check out the Gearbox forums for full details. The pack will be available on all three Duke platforms (360, PS3, and PC) this fall, with players registered as members of the First Access Club getting it for free.
Anyone looking forward to more Duke Nukem multiplayer or has the majority of the audience already moved on from this title?
