In true Duke Nukem style, Gearbox are continuing their mocking of the FPS genre with the all new downloadable content pack ‘hail to the icons’. the downloadable content takes a few shots at games like Doom,Call of Duty and Team Fortress 2.
Here’s what you’ll grab yourself if you pick the DLC up;
Call of Duke – Duke engages in modern combat in a war-torn city. Foes don’t stand a chance against the Duke when he spams the map with the N00b T00b.
Sandpit – Players take the role of mini-Duke in a giant sandbox with two bases at either end made out of children’s toys. This map features Sticky Bombs.
Inferno – Time machine engage! Duke does combat in a hellish landscape of lava and teleporters. Who turned on the 16-bit graphics, and more importantly, where did this DFG come from?
2Forts1Bridge – Hats? Duke doesn’t need no stinking hats. Give him a minigun and he’ll beat off all comers.
Sandpit is reportedly a parody of Halo, although Gearbox are yet to clear that one up.
In addition to those new maps and weapons, Duke Nukem Forever brings Freeze Tag, a cooperative mode that asks players to “freeze and shatter their opponents in succession for huge point streaks and combos”; Hot Potato, a spin on Capture The Babe; and Hail to the King, DNF‘s free-for-all mode.
Hail to the Icons comes to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC this fall. It’s free for First Access Club members who registered before the game launched.
