- DBiz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20And the best part about the content: "Free".
Thank you Epic for not screwing us over with Microtransactions.
Now, when we're talking about the extra content, are we talking new Maps? New skins? New play modes? - Nobi-Wan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18/crosses fingers for ranked games with friends
- Calypsoaf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18"Players can now ride other players as vehicles."
- seneyr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Two words: Bonus Pack. It's an Epic tradition! For the uninitiated, this is usually new maps, models and gametypes on occassion. Might even be out for XMas. They've pushed out BPs on XMas (UT BP #4) before.
Also, Epic has stated numerous times before that they are not down with microtransactions. - stephenwq, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17Its very normal for epic to do something like this, Take a look at the UT series:
UT2004 Mega Pack
UT2003 Community Bonus Pack
UT2003 Epic Bonus Pack
UT2003 Digital Extremes Bonus Pack
UT1999 The Epic Pack
UT1999 The Digital Extremes Pack
UT1999 The Inoxx Pack
UT1999 The Christmas 2000 Pack - taxman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16This is not Brokeback mountain!!
- swoosh_bnd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14It's always nice to see games give free content, especially with all the greedy publishers (EA) out there on the Xbox 360 who try to completely kill the gamer on micro-transactions that should've been there in the first place.
- arunforce, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15/uncrosses their fingers, slaps them, tells them to stop hoping and just wait.
- jcaino, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9eat that EA!
- VeryAngryJim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I am really, really praying for 4 player Co-op.
- GeneralFailure0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Because microtransactions are about as stupid as buying video level guides.
- VeryAngryJim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7again, this is not EA, so don't worry
- VeryAngryJim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5level guides don't really enhance gameplay the same way that purchasing a gun, car, or racetrack would in a game. Basically, you don't really feel left out if you don't buy it.
- zzz@tkz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5"/crosses fingers for ranked games with friends"
Epic stated that this isn't possible, as MS wants to preserve their TrueSkill thing, playing ranked matches with friends with different TrueSkill rankings would mess up the system, apparently. It's doubtful that we will see any ranked matches with friends anymore, at least without searching. - UCFartstudntJON, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Hopefully it will be a few new maps for multilayer, glitch patches, New game types like re spawn please!
- ninjan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3A triple chainsaw perhaps.
- GeneralFailure0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I don't think there'll be any more single-player missions for free, I imagine they'd put any new single-player content in a sequel. I'm thinking new maps, a new weapon or two would be pretty cool, and new game types would be amazing.
- H3avyC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Halo 3 is doing the same party matchmaking system. Bungie is doing it completely independent of the MS TrueSkill system. Epic could do it, if they really wanted to.
- Jolene, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4A level where you fight that Brumak(spelling?) creature?
I really hope theres more co-op content. I really don't enjoy being team killed in online versus because one of the people on my team is actually working with the other team... - posure, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3/crosses fingers for CTF
- tahoebyker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Please be a new online interface. Please!!!
- daedalus779, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2VGA fix perhaps?
- HDhandyman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I really want better matchmaking and CTF. Why was that so much to ask in the store-bought version? This game is made for CTF, and would offer unique gameplay options for this mode considering that I've never played CTF in such a duck-and-cover style game. Besides, didn't Cliffy B basically invent CTF? Anyway, free new content is great, and new maps would be enough, but I can dream can't I????
- LogicBomB, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I hope they take out the ability to see the host's name in ranked matches. I enjoy playing games with friends as much as the next guy but player match works great for that and all I want is a level playing ground when I walk into ranked matches.
- xelloss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Ya awhile back they said they were going to do 4-5 player Coop, guess it got dropped but hopefully they can add it.
- EGO822, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3"Let's just hope it isn't a Kameo skin for Marcus." hahaha
- RudMan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Screw new content, work on fixing the MP lobby instead!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5More co-op missions, a second quest?
- zzz@tkz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That all depends on whether or not Halo 3 will use TrueSkill.
From what we've heard about it, it is using its own system. - taxman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Santa hats for everyone.....
But something tht wd be really different....A breif resurrection of general Raam(but this time tougher than in insane level) in a courtyard with 4 player co-op - itsmattadams, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Free: You now have my attention, now lets hope it's not something lame!
- soxpride, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So if it's impossible to have team ranked matches with friends, then what are they going to do about Halo3? The party system in Halo2 is what made the online so good. And when you were in a group in Halo2, everyone was ranked with the highest ranked player. So that solved the ranking mismatch. So why can't Gears get a party system?
I play with my friends in ranked anyway, it' just a pain in the ass. - thunderhammer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I heard the new feature is Anya (chick on the helicopter that you talk to on your microphone the whole game) as a playable character in multiplayer
- Sakumi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2LOL! That made me laugh...
- UCFartstudntJON, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I doubt it will be something lame. I think that the game is on the verge of pretty goodness or ultimate greatness, showing that they plan to have an openly expanding game is a step in the ultimate greatness direction as it is. Plus the game could use some extra maps.
- fallenone05, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2in speedos!
- chazzy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1As fun as that would be, it would require different levels, as the current maps are designed for two players at the most. Having three or four people on these maps makes the game too easy and crowded.
- technique, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Was Sheep Shagger taken already?
- MOJIRA, on 05/17/2008, -1/+2Gears of War NEEDS A FLAMETHROWER!
I was waiting for it come to me the whole singleplayer game, but I never saw it.
Need flamethrower! It's on my xmas list. - Lososaurus, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Howabout a story? Loved the game, just wish there was a better story.
- crcurran, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I didnt think I was cheated due to the shortness of the game. Heck, my buddy and I are cooping through the entire game and since he is not the good we are taking longer than most. I got my moneys worth so far but ....woot! Free content.
You're my bud, CliffyB!!! - supermanred, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1It will be the ability to put your face in the game, like in Rainbow 6 Vegas for 360. I hope!!!
Cant wait! - SheepLicker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Good to see some new stuff on the way, I hope it’s a few new maps and a CTF game type.
What really needs fixing is the option to invite your friends into your ranked games, and the option to boot people certainly wouldn’t hurt either.
18842, if you’re looking for some Aussies to play, feel free to add me, I usually play GoW with heaps of Aussies – my gamertag: Sheep Licker - LlFT, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0NOBI-WAN "/crosses fingers for ranked games with friends"
You can have ranked games with friends. Just tell them what kind of game you set up ie. 7 rounds Warzone, and all they have to do is a ranked match search and your host name will appear and then they can join you in a ranked match. - taxman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1If they started working on it before the game was even released,it got to be something big..
More maps is the most probable thing.......I would like more game type,but something like capture the flag wd be horrible in this...
What else cd it be? GOW 2? - spr33, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Bring on the bug fixes, please.
- 18842, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0If they don't even let you download a god damn picture package for your profile i doubt this will be anything great :P Porbably just a few maps but xbox live is so laggy for aussies :(
- Twenty5, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Damnit..... stupid Taiwan earthquake....... now i cant access live nor most of the sites....
thank god Digg still works..... Kudos! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Act 6
But you didn't hear that from me. -
