Duke Nukem Forever 'Hail to the Icons' DLC Dated

If you're desperate for more Duke, then you'll be able to hail to the king once again with the Duke Nukem Forever 'Hail to the Icons Parody Pack', which has been priced and dated for next week on the PlayStation Network, bringing with it new multiplayer maps and modes to play.

Here's what you can expect from the Hail to the Icons Parody Pack:

Three All-New Modes -

  • Freeze Tag provides some of the most fun team gameplay in Duke Nukem Forever.  Players cooperate to freeze and shatter their opponents in succession for huge point streaks and combos.
  • See who can hold on to the babe the longest in Hot Potato.
  • Play free-for-all Duke style in Hail to the King.

Four Multiplayer Maps -

  • 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.
  • Sandbox – 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.

You'll be able to snap up the Duke Nukem Forever Hail to the Icons Parody Pack from October 11th for $9.99, unless you're a First Access Club member, in which case it's free. There'll also be a patch coming with optimisations and fixes for Duke Nukem Forever. Hail to the King, baby.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this all stuff they said would be in the game upon release?

When did Duke Nuckem become the childish moron pointing out other games' mistakes while bringing nothing new to the games industry? Oh your so funny gearbox! Mocking Call Of Duty for bringing bland! Seriously the pot called he says your black.

Why... this game is freaking disastrous. I couldn't even bring myself to complete the campaign. You can polish a turd but in the end it will still be just a turd.

Kinda sad... they should have let the duke into his grave, lucky me I didn't played this one so I still have those good memories when the game went out on pc 12 or 13 years ago

I didnt grow up with the series, but unless you really loved the game to death whenever the last one came out, this looks horrible. Sometimes a series just needs to die when it is its time. *cough sonic and COD cough*

Duke Nukem Forever was hardly "Rushed" as it was in development for nearly 15 years ;).

Multiplayer is a waste of time....they give you no incentives...I played it and platinumed, plugged in multiplayer for a few minutes and then realized I was wasting my time and then I bugged out and sold it!

number 5 you are a gaming turd.
You ain't played it yet you follow what you read.
I'm pretty sure the cretins who bash duke over and over are the sad prats who still milk black ops for 8 hour per day, playing waves of zombies. Yeah thats fun, and a totally new idea.
Lets hope nobody jumps off a cliff, i'm pretty sure you would follow ya lemming.

@ 16 - I get that the majority is not always right, but when all sources say a game is terrible, maybe, just maybe they are onto something.

And bringing up Black Ops is a bit of a cliche and getting old, just because someone doesn't like a game you obviously do, doesn't mean they love call of duty.

I'm surprised nobody got the "2Forts1Bridge" map. It's funny how they'll probably be trying to make jokes about TF2 when it is a far superior game.

Gearbox, ladies and gentlemen. Making fun of other properties in the hopes that you'll be too busy focusing on bad puns to notice the glitchy and poorly designed game you're currently playing is what Gearbox does. Just because Borderlands (also a flawed exercise in map backtracking for 20 hours) did well, everyone's on their d*ck. Does no one remember their dreadful Half-Life ports and expansions?

While I'm in Gearbox-hating-mode, @12, I hate to say it, but it WAS rushed. The game itself was in development hell for over a decade. But when Gearbox grabbed it, it came out about a year after that announcement.
And @16 "Gaming turd?" Really? Not only was that a stupid thing to say, you said it to a guy who played Duke 3D when it came out. My god, you people, seriously.

The name is Duke Nukem Forever, but it hasn't been one single game that's been in development since the late 90s. Common sense would dictate that as technology advanced, those who goofed around instead of making an actual game would start over with new engines, new directions, etc. The sad/funny thing is that the franchise itself was never cutting edge, so there never should have been any pressure to reinvent the wheel. That it took so long before another sequel could be ground out like sausage only speaks to the gross incompetence of those involved in the process.

And in the box, the flier said the DLC was gonna be released in the summer. There is a chance that it might get released on October 11th, but I resist making fun of the possibility that it'll be a good year or two before the DLC comes out.

@23:

Borderlands and the Half Life 1 Expansions were/are some of the best games I've ever played and poured heaven knows how many hours into all 3. Just because you thought they sucked, doesn't mean everyone else does.

Duke Nukem 3D was good when it 1st came out but it has not aged well.

I really enjoyed this game.
It has it's frustrating moments and the graphics are pretty wank by todays standards but I used to love Duke Nukem on the PC and I enjoyed playing this one.

Granted, it's not the greatest game, but it was fun to play.
I hope they make another Duke Nukem game with better GFX and a new Engine that'll really do the PS3 hardware justice.

@16 who is the gaming turd? me? ok look I've played the demo and honestly it was enough for me to tell if the game was any good or any bad.. and YES it sucked, the gameplay was lifeless and funless it was like, you go there you do that then go there and do that again and again personally I hate call of duty more than any other game, so NO I don't play zombies on cod rounds after rounds. If someone want to jump off a cliff I'll let him do and keep walking foward, YOU are a gaming turd and a troll for bashing other people's opinion and being angry at them because you paid the full retail price on that garbage before playing the demo.

Sorry sir (if I can call you sir, because the way you talk seems like an angry 16 yrs old)but you are trully pathetic
go troll somewhere else

from a turd gamer... LOL

i am honestly astounded at some peoples reactions to dnf, i bought the game and got what i expected, was it worth £40? probably not, but then i knew from the start it was never going to be a goty contender, it was a mediocre linear shooter with a shower of bad one liners, i still live in hope that gearbox will do the franchise justice now that they will have the opportunity to make a duke game from scratch.

@34 i totally agree...i stepped away from this title when i read the horrible reviews. sure am glad i decided to take a chance. got it used for like 10 bucks and have not regretted it one bit. sure the game definitely has its flaws but its no complete garbage like everyone is makin it out to be. the graphics are bad ppl because they didnt want to invest another couple hundred thousand dollars in licencing rights and labor cost to rebuild the engine for a 3rd time. everyone has to remember this game was supposed to hit on the ps2 and xbox its not gonna be the net cryis in terms of performance and graphics. the gameplay is repetitive but what FPS isnt. the humor is toilet trash, but thats what we expect from duke. in all actuality if you take this game for what is was supposed to be it delivered in every aspect. hell even the campaign length is around 12-13 hours which is more than any modern FPS can say. the only unexcusable aspect is the long loading times. other than that i think this game was golden and am eagerly lookin for the sequel becuase its time to kick @$$ and chew bubble gum and im all outta gum!!!

@SylarTheNinja, sorry dude, you wish you got it free, you had to have pre-ordered it in order to get the code to even be let into the First Access Club, so.... Goodluck with that..
