Duke Nukem Will Offer Its Own Parodies Of Some Favorite Titles This Fall

No matter the number of bad reviews, amount of slander, and pointed fingers, the gaming industry is far from done with Duke Nukem Forever. The “Hail to the Icons Parody Pack” was revealed by Gearbox Software, which is a piece of downloadable content what sees Duke in parody games that poke fun at Call of Duty, Doom, and Team Fortress 2.

Here’s how the pack is being described, as seen on Kotaku:

• 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.

• Sandpit – 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.

In addition to these new maps, the pack will introduce Freeze Tag, a co-op mode where players aim to “freeze and shatter their opponents in succession for huge point streaks and combos,” Hot Potato, which is a spin on Capture The Babe, and Hail to the King, a free-for-all mode. This new content pack will hit the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 later this fall.
