Operation: Anchorage takes place in a simulation. It makes for a quite interesting fight when equipped by enemies as well. If worn, it will greatly increase the stealth rating of a PC while crouching. The third, and most sexy shot, is a "Chinese Stealth Suit".

Another is a shot of a player, donning a winterised version of combat armor looking out over a lake. Jeff! Can you describe what we're seeing in our sexy new screenshots?Īll three of these shots are taken inside the 'simulation.' One is a shot of the approach to a Chinese base. Here's the result, along with three new screenshots of Operation: Anchorage. It's got new toys, gamerpoints and all sorts, and is set to cost 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60).Īlthough the official release date has yet to be set, Bethesda's clearly in the final stages, so when we were offered the chance to speak to Jeff Gardiner, lead producer on the DLC, to dig out some more details, we jumped as high as our irradiated legs would allow. Anchorage pops players in a "military simulation" within the world of Fallout 3 that replicates the Battle of Anchorage scenario from the game's back-story, with players heading a stealthy squad across a wintry Alaskan environment seeking to oust Chinese Communist invaders.

The first of these, Operation: Anchorage, is due for release this month, with two others (The Pitt and Broken Steel) to follow in February and March respectively. But that's no reason to stop playing it - or at least Bethesda Softworks hopes so, because the developer is busy crafting three discrete bundles of downloadable content for Xbox Live and PC users as part of a Microsoft exclusivity arrangement. By now you've probably all conquered the all-conquering Fallout 3, Eurogamer readers' number one game of 2008 and one of our favourite RPGs set in a post-apocalyptic American city where Qui-Gon Jinn's your dad.
