I definatly don’t think that DLC was worth the 800 points…
If I could go back in time I would have saved my 1600 for the next two DLC’s.
Basically, this one is a simulation (like tranquility lane).
The simulation reminded me a little of call of duty games…basically you have to get ammo and stuff, you dont get to use your gear. It’ll take you about an hour to clear the DLC. The only good thing about it is you get tons of gear after you finish the simulation, and it’s an easy 100 gamer points.
but definatly not worth the 10 bucks it costed me for barely any content..

Here is jostiq’s review of the new DLC
Quote:For the uninitiated, Operation: Anchorage sees players on a VR mission to infiltrate an Alaskan military installation, with a heavier emphasis on being stealthy than the main game. Yes, what we’ve just described could very well be the premise of the original Metal Gear Solid, but this is Fallout 3, right? Well, not exactly as you know it.Operation: Anchorage is a 4-5 hour campaign (we got through it a bit quicker) that calls the game’s FPS element into play more than we’d anticipated. In fact, the scenario is a linear one in the vein of Call of Duty and is very focused on action. Sure, the trademark V.A.T.S. targeting system is still present, but, most of the time, we found ourselves playing in a purely run-and-gun mindset. Still, there’s a depth of story and uncanny attention to detail that very much manages to keep this DLC rooted in the Fallout universe.
Once downloaded, the campaign is integrated into the main game in a novel way; we won’t spoil it, but it’s far better — and more engrossing — than simply making the mission an option on a menu. And, from the outset of this VR reenactment of the U.S. liberation of Anchorage, Alaska from Communist Chinese invaders, several Fallout 3 rules are immediately eschewed.
The most immediately obvious change: you start out with your “real world” stats, but only a silenced 10mm pistol and Stealth Boy to your name. (Thus you’re prodded to play it quiet and cool from the get-go.) The second major change is obvious once you’ve taken down your first enemy: you can’t loot their corpses because they vanish in a flurry of VR “de-rezzing.” This leads to the third substantial difference from Wasteland combat: you find weapons — such as the glorious new Gauss rifle — at set intervals in the “levels,” along with health and ammo recharge stations. Think Left 4 Dead. There are also holotapes and intel cases to find for completests (and those who wish to delve deeper into the scenario’s story).
The change in rules and level structure — even the reliance on reaching health/ammo drops — creates an experience that is more tense than almost anything in Fallout 3’s main game. Although it’s probably going to feel a lot less so for those who already have high-level characters. That’s because all of your perks, skills, and stats carry over. If you’re a dead-aim in the Wasteland, the VR enemies will be much easier to head shot. On the other hand, if you play the campaign early on in your Fallout 3 experience, it’s going to prove very tough.
Considering that those most likely to buy the DLC are players who’ve already completed, well, everything in the main game, Operation: Anchorage could certainly offer a bigger challenge. Still, it’s a very exciting — and surprising — addition to one of 2008’s best games, doing a great job of extending its life and keeping things fresh. If you love Fallout 3, you’ll really enjoy this addition to the ‘verse and the gameplay mods it brings. Just be prepared for a far more constrained experience than the (literal) sandbox of the Capitol Wasteland.

Other than that I haven’t had any trouble really with anyone else. Besides every now and then when I go on a rampage and kill a town and some of the boss guys can be tough since they only go unconcious. Jericho’s pretty tough too. All the characters you can get to join you are really tough to kill besides Dogmeat but even he is stronger than most enemies.

If the wastes of D.C. and Alaska just weren’t enough places for Fallout 3 fans to visit, then the next DLC pack, The Pitt, for the Xbox 360 and PC should satiate the explorer within. According to UK OXM, ‘The Pitt’ brings the dystopian story of Fallout to ‘The ‘Burgh,’ specifically taking place in Steel City’s industrial district. There-in lies an abandoned steel yard, a vaguely-described “dungeon” area, and a settlement divided into “Downtown’s” slave dens and “Haven’s” upper class community.
Other details regarding this March-scheduled DLC include new interactive elements with the wasteland scavengers known as Raiders; it appears you can possibly talk with them as opposed to being shot at upon sight. It also seems that Raiders will play a central role in The Pitt as OXM reveals that one major quest involves investigating a Raider boss who supposedly found a cure for mutation. Lastly, new weapons and items are expected to pop up, including the all new Auto Axe. It’s apparently a chainsaw-type weapon

Can’t wait should be better then Anchorage
02/18/2009 at 12:50 pm #34856Fallout 3 is GameFly’s GOTY and XBOX360 GOTY
02/18/2009 at 5:46 pm #34866I know I’m gonna end up hating myself when they release the GOTY edition with all the DLC AND EXTRA for like 30 dollars less than I’m paying for the DLC…but I just dont feel like waiting

Plus it would be better to have it all on the disc instead of on the harddrive

I’ll probably end up rebuying it
