Hmm… not sure about this. I LOVE the game, and the DLC weapon upgrades are (possibly) just about acceptable, but as for ‘Map Pack 2′…
DLC to provide EXISTING modes on EXISTING maps? That’s a bit of a strange one. I’d argue that it should be included on the disc. I hope it’s not going to be charged for.
that is very strange…completely new modes or all new maps are one thing, but just unlocking modes for existing maps is kind of ridiculous
I love this game, but DLC this soon is unacceptable. What the heck man?
All this DLC is free for VIP members (i.e. everyone who bought the game new).
to bad most cant even get there free Maps because the stores unstable
the 18th stuff is the promo items you get from dr. pepper so i doubt it will be free… unless you think that the dr. pepper stuff *release date is around the 8th… we keep hearing mixed things, but its not out yet* will be useless after 10 days though it will be on the site for nearly a year…
as far as releasing existing maps on new modes i am ok with this personally, your logic is kinda flawed in the sense 9/10 the maps they take are part of campaign =P and you can even see some of the maps are just cut and paste jobs from campaign, also they will be free if you bought the game which is a fair thing in my opinion and finally they will add new life to modes since you havent played those maps yet so in theory their “new” too =P… but on the other hand i think its BS that rush/conquest get all the map packs @_@, from what i understand is that there are 10 maps in all *i dont play rush/conquest so i dont really know* and only 4 of them are in deathmatch… and it appears like it will stay that way for a while o.x
finally i think they need to do more than they have been doing, from what everyone understands about the DLC guns, its just skins for camo nothing actually new *they said there will be no more guns or something to keep multi even* now personally i was against a lot of the bad company 2′s logic/promos, lets take a look at why…
unlocks for bfbc 2
4 mobile upgrades: i spent a total of 3 hours in the tank, i got my tank caped and gold star 2 or 3 on it… the first 3 upgrades you can get in 30 mins if you know what youre doing, and the last one is the actual last one but its hardly a game changer *ive yet to see anyone actually use it XD*
2 gun unlocks: 1 you unlock at level 5 *like 3 hours of play time* and the other is at level 18 *which is a lot harder to get to* but you rarly see anyone past level 2 using the M1A1
as far as these 6 early unlocks go… atleast 5/10 people who are playing BFBC 2 atm *remember all are limited edition stateside* will naturally unlock everything in that was given to us early by default before anyone who didnt get a edge will start playing…
also the store isnt working so i cant get my 2 GS items and if they do infact release that mode in a month at this rate we will not get it early, and most people will unlock the gun it unlocks *like myself*
this is the downside to alot of their plans
This is all good news being a VIP member but the PS3′s store is locked up tighter than a drum and makes it frutstrating being that the LE version was the only one available for pre-order at Amazon.com. I should have known that this would happen when it happened for BF1943… Same game engine/developer same MP issues…
Having played the “Closed Beta” and the “Open Beta/Demo” which were actually as fun as BF1943 and changed my mind to purchase the game. I just finished the SP “Mission” and look forward to playing MP mode but when you want to join a friend and it fails to connect ala BF:1943. So just will have to wait since it seems that with all of Sony’s MP online games except for M.A.G. they have all had the first week bugs, taking more than a week to settle out.
Since there is a Mult-platform fanbase then you have to try to fix all versions and if you fix something in one and try to port that to the others you may create more problems than you fix.
This is why MP Online being such a Noob technology until we can get stable servers that work consistently it will take time to settle out. Hell, who knows maybe even Al-Qeada is playing the game and that has some serious ping hits since they have to put someone on a bicycle to power the computer to play the game… LMAO….
The online mode in this game is awesome, one of the best things I noticed about it is they do some changes to the maps according to its rule. For example, when you play a deathmatch, the area of the map is smaller than it is when you play rush or conquest. I only played the first 2 stages of the story mode and it’s good so far, although I heard it’s very short.
@meghterb
Why are people looking for a long story mode out of a mainly online shooter? MAG doesn’t give anything, but when people actually make the effort they get shit on because it isn’t as long as an rpg.
