title ^

which would you choose and why?

[Pan_de]

one has suburb stuff and the other one super big maps. whatever you prefer.

Depends which you like more.

Home invasion = a lot of by-the-books interior clearing, fewer and spaced out suspects.
Dark Waters = Tons of heavily armed and armored suspects, dense with doorways and more like a maze.

Dark Waters feels like an entirely different game both in atmosphere and the severity of shootouts making it very refreshing. I've been enjoying it a lot more than home invasion.

Following up on what others have commented. I played both DLC's and in my opinion dark waters had a longer playtime but that's due to a larger map size. I found myself enjoying dark water a lot more.

Do you want to go for a more classic tight gunfight situations in homes or do you want a more open and tense experience where you never know where the enemy could be at any time?

all 3 maps in home invasion are pretty good. The only maps that I liked in dark waters are the first 2. The 3rd map felt really soul-less and boring to play through.

I'd say home invasion has the upper hand in terms of gameplay. Maps are typical RON stuff and work.
DW is more experimental, but if you like mazes it might be your prefered one.

with it being 50 bucks plus another 20.. i dont think id afford any of it. im sure someones going to try to tell me just another fps is worth it. fine, since its so cheap buy it for me and ill stop complaining.
on a serious note, if i had that kind of money id have bought a copy of msfs 2024. bidenomics doesnt work.
i can see 10 bucks per dlc. but not along with the price of the base game.
this isnt arma 4.

Well the base game is pretty much complete in my opinion so I'm not upset about the DLCs. Especially when they offer something fresh like the second DLC. To me, this is my suggestion since it feels more interesting then running around in houses (again).
However, right now it doesn't feel polished. The nav meshes are not working propperly etc. so you might want to wait a few weeks (or at least until the next sale)

The Steam winter sale starts December 19. Maybe the base game will have a good discount. Dark Waters won't be on sale, maybe Home Invasion, but I would be surprised if so.
