Armageddon and Origin Pack Details for Red Faction: Battlegrounds
Introducing the Armageddon Pack and Origins Pack, two incendiary downloadable content packs for Red Faction: Battlegrounds, available now on Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network. Each with their own new weapons, vehicles, maps and achievements/trophies, Origins and Armageddon build upon the four-player vehicular mayhem of Red Faction: Battlegrounds. Both packs can be downloaded from the Battlegrounds in-game store from the game’s main menu and are priced at $2.99 on PSN, and at 240 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live Arcade.
ARMAGEDDON PACK
Based on the technology and weaponry from Red Faction: Armageddon, the Armageddon Pack takes place at the same time Darius Mason is saving Mars from the cultist Adam Hale. The EDF tank gets a makeover with three plasma mini-guns, while the LAV gets a Singularity cannon – 
this amazing weapon fires mini black-holes and literally eats the opposition for breakfast. This pack also gives a glimpse of the environments in Red Faction: Armageddon.
