Best expansion pack you've ever owned ?

[Batou667]

My first nomination is one of (IIRC) the first ever expansion packs: the Scourge of Armagon Mission Pack for the original Quake. Great new features and excellent level design. The second mission pack, made by different devs, wasn't nearly as good.

I was also a big fan of The Core Contingency expansion for Total Annihilation. Krogoths!

Age of Empires II: The Conquerors.

Battlefield - Secret Weapons of WW2
Battlefield 2 - Special Ops (I think that was the title)
Civilization IV - Beyond the Sword
Fallout NV - Old World Blues (more a DLC than expansion pack but I really enjoyed it)

I guess Guild Wars would be my main game for expansions.
Especially since I bought all of them, and I'm not even into MMOs ... Well, apart from Guild Wars that is, it made me and my best friend close.

Apart from that.
Fallout 3: Point Lookout/Fallout New Vegas: Old World Blues.
They gave us great new playgrounds, weapons, and story. I just hope Fallout 4 can do the same, except more!

Shivering Isles for Oblivion. It was better than the core game.

This should be everyone's answer.

Hands down this!

No other expansion in my mind has ever come close to giving me the amount of fun that Shivering Isles did. Heck no other Bethesda game has been better in my mind.

Shivering Isles for Oblivion. It was better than the core game.

This should be everyone's answer.

While I didn't think it was better than the core game it is still the best expansion to any game I have ever seen, with more content than some full AAA titles have.

Majesty: the northern expansion. Did not add as many new missions as in the original Fantasy Kingdom Sim, but therandom challenge generator was just about the only good, no, great one I've ever seen. TONS of replay value.

 

[duwenbasden]

tie between Brood Wars, Frozen Throne, and Rush Hour. Clocked > 1000 hours on each.

 

[The Harkinator]

Shivering Isles for Oblivion, Point Lookout for Fallout 3, Old World Blues for Fallout New:Vegas.

Out of those three the Shivering Isles was the absolute best of the bunch. It introduced a new and absolutely huge area of the game to play in, with a whole host of interesting locations, quests, and items. I loved it.

And who could forget:

 

[CaitSeith]

just wordering what is your guys best expansion which one (in your opinion) had the most content for the money?

The most content? I thought the title said the "best" not the "most".

Shivering Isles for Oblivion. It was better than the core game.

This should be everyone's answer.

Sorry, i guess everyone that really played WC3 or D2 will say LoD/TfT. Even though i spent alot of time in LoD (10k hours maybe?) nothing beats TfT, because TFT gave us DotA.
And i played an idiotic amount of DotA back in the days.

 

[Arkliem]

Brood Wars was amazing. Doubling the campaign size. New units. Great story. Best one I can think of.

 

[Gorrath]

Best non-MMO? Maybe Enemy Within. Or Throne of Bhaal. Or the Diablo 2 one. Or...or...there's been a lot, really.

Worst might be Old World Blues. Fuck everything about that expansion. Every. Last. Thing.

That's almost shocking to me. I think OWB is one of the best expansions for any game ever. Any. Game. Ever! I'd ask what you didn't like about it but you left easy to follow clues in your post!

 

[kenu12345]

If we are differentiating expansion pack from dlc then I will definitely say Opposing Force for Half-Life. Added so much and was just so great. I honestly like it more than Half Life 2

I made a thread back in the day castigating it and going into detail about all the things I hated. Haven't been able to find it though.

 

[Wuvlycuddles]

I'm gunna have to say Reaper of Souls for Diablo 3. I mean, there are plenty of great expansions for great games I could name but D3 went from an almost unplayable mess with a bunch of horribly implemented stupid features to a game I've happily sunken hours into. So I figure it's the one expansion I own that made the biggest improvement to the base game.

 

[RariShyZealot]

I'm gonna have to say Knife of Dunwall/Brigmore Witches for Dishonored.

A bit overpriced perhaps but they gave you several new missions, each with their own styles and secrets, loads of new lore for one of my favorite worlds, an arsenal of new tricks and Daud, who is a glorious bastard. The entire story was well-done, each mission had multiple ways to win, the characters stuck out more than the main story, and it brilliantly sets up for Dishonored 2 in such a way that it's still a complete story and teases a possible future meeting with Daud and/or Billie Lurk in Karnaca.

Also I am unbelievably biased towards Dishonored...

 

[Guffe]

Hands down Warcraft III The Frozen Throne.
I don't know how many playthroughs I've done of that game and how many hundreds of hours I sunk into Bnet.
Nothing comes even close for me.

 

[zumbledum]

you really do have to go a long ways to find anything that compares to blizz's golden trio Lord of destruction (if you include the synergy patch which i think its fair to) , brood war and the frozen throne.

but i think ill go with the enemy within for the xcom remake. exalt kinda sucked but having mech-soldiers was awesome fun!

This is totally cheating but A Tale of Two Wastelands.
