Best game expansion

Which game did you think had the best expansion pack, and why?I am not just talking about adding more content, but adding new features and just making the overall gameplay so much better.

Lord of Destruction

Shivering Isles for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. It was a fantasic expansion pack.

i think galactic adventures for spore is best

Opposing Force for Half-Life

Shivering Isles for Oblivion

Tribunal and Bloodmoon for Morrowind

Triunal and Bloodmoon
Brood Wars
Lord of Destruction
Babarian Invasion
Frozen Throne
Beyond the Sword

Rise of Nation: Thrones and Patriots, Medieval 2 Total War: Kingdoms, and Age of Empires 2: TheConquerors

half life: opposing force

I thought people had finally got over that.

nope the pain is to deep.

I would have thought it was okay if it was an expansion

but a full priced sequal ?

hell no

and be fair it could have been an expansion only problem is the sh*tbox 360 can't handle expansions so we pc gamers get screwd Uber time

and now we have empire with still bugs no promised multiplayer

and this is going the same way the new napoleon will probably get the multiplayer they promised US

BG2:ToB, epic battles and finishing the BG saga.

NWN2:MotB, quest designs, role-playing and narrative are all improved from the original.

Lord of Destruction

I don't get it. Left 4 Dead 2 has everything a sequel has. New enemies, new setting, new weapons, new etc. The only difference is that it's coming sooner than any other Valve sequel.

Phoenix534

same as sims bon voyage new settings weapons and enemies but that's an expansion

no srry a game that uses the same engine that almost hasn't changes visually exept a few ai tweaks and that you van shoot holes in bodies doesn't make it a sequal

the weapons are almost the same exept for the melee weapons

they also use some of the old infected as far as I know.

all the things they add could easily be made into an expansion but just like I said we get screwd because the sh*tbox can't handle it

The Xbox 360 can easliy handle expansions. It has expansions on it.

yeah small map packs and tiny addons ........... it's not capble for a real expansion only when you have the harddisc and not evryone has that so it wouldn't sell enough.

So, you're saying that Shivering Isles isn't a real expansion?

Triunal and Bloodmoon
Brood Wars
Lord of Destruction
Babarian Invasion
Frozen Throne
Beyond the Sword

Yes.

-Shivering Isle for oblivion

-Half Life 2: Episode one, episode two

Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots

Frozen Throne.

Another vote for Lord of Destruction.

-Half Life 2: Episode one, episode two

They're brilliant, but they're not expansions.

Yeah, agree not really expansions by standard definition, but they do expand the game.

But for whatever they are, post game content, they are the best i can think of, so deserve some props.

Tribunal and Bloodmoon for Morrowind - because they added to the core game.
Call Of Duty: United Offensive - because it brought new dynamics to the multiplayer part of the game.
Half-Life: Opposing Force, and Half-Life Blue Shift which introduced the high-def character pack to the core game.

Shadows Of Undrentide and Hordes Of The Underdark for Neverwinter Nights.
Legends Of Aranna for Dungeon Siege, which added a large new area to explore, and made some improvements to the core game as well.
Mysteries Of The Sith for Jedi Knight, which was almost the same size as the original game and made improvements to multiplayer.

Opposing Force.

Forged Alliance

Star Craft -> Star Craft Broodwar

Diablo 2 -> Diablo 2 Lord Of Destruction

and both are created by blizzard

I would have to go with Brood War. I've been waiting for the next chapter in the StarCraft story for all these years!
