As should be expected in a mission simulating a military campaign, there's quite a lot of combat to be had here. Players can expect to be in combat for the vast majority of their time in Operation Anchorage, moving from one battle to the next with little time to pause for breath in between, making this one of the most intense quests in the game. Objectives can be handled in numerous ways, as players will eventually get to choose what weapons they take into battle with them, and who (if anyone) will go with them, allowing players to tailor the action to their skills. It's nice to see that player choice, which made the core game so compelling, continue to be an important part of the DLC.

Do I recommend Operation Anchorage? Absolutely. You can really tell that Bethesda set out to prove that Fallout 3 can adapt to different playstyles by making OA more of an action game and then a squad based game. This is simply a great deal for only 800 msp ($10.00). You will see impressive looking new enemies (not going to spoil anything) and you might get something special at the end of Operation Anchorage that you can keep throughout the whole game (again, not to spoil anything) you'l just have to finish it to find out! Going by how great Operation Anchorage is, I can't even imagine what Bethesda has in store for us next, I bet it will be a blast though. Bravo goes to Bethesda for a great job on OA, bravo indeed!
