HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!! Good joke EA, now tell us the real price... or are you being serious here?
3 maps for 10$? 3 maps... 3.33$ per map? I don't know about you EA but when a game doesn't let me pick the maps... I am not inclined to shuffle out money for it. Here's the thing, I pay 10 bucks to you and your crappy algorithms allow me to play those maps about 1/5th of the time.
So no... try again or put in proper matchmaking where I decide who gets in and what map we play.

I was really iffy about this game when it was first announced as primarily online. After hearing from some friends getting annoyed with the matchmaking and now this? I'm happy my money went into Dark Souls 2 instead
The only thing I really want in Titanfall is a practice mode. Maybe chuck in some bots, even if they are a bit crap. I just wanna practice the levels, learn my wall running lines, tool about with the guns and generally arse about without having to worry about invisible wallhackers sniping me or rotating my head.
As for the DLC, standard for the industry i guess. Which is too say about as standard as your average day in an African dictatorship. Normal, but horrifying. I got gifted the special edition with the DLC for free (I think?) so I'm gonna be checking it out. They do need a map veto system and better matchmaking though. Got into a game earlier where my team had 4 people under level 20, and the enemy team had no-one below gen-3. They had 2 gen-8's for crying out loud.

I'm guessing this is what is expected when working under EA. It's full price (or almost) and $10 for 3 fucking maps. Is a proper expansion something really too hard now? Can you at least pick which maps you want to play and use them with every mode in the game?
So what happens if you don't buy the DLC, but you end up playing with people who do own it? When the server decides to switch to a map that you don't own, will you just get kicked from the lobby? Will it simply be impossible to play with people who own it?
Publishers continue to gouge the crap out of the prices on map DLC
And we, the consumers, continue to throw our money at them.

That's EA for you ^^ No use to buy their games if you see how they treat their customers. Free content? No, you will have to pay for every bit. For your convenience, servers will also be shut down earlyl, when the sequel is out, so that you don't have to play an outdated experience.
Oh man the last time I was suckered into buying a map pack was back in 2008 for CoD4. Are these things seriously making money anymore? A whole year of monthly content drops (that's 12 for those of you who can't do the math) came bundled with the Hardened edition of MW3 for $30 with a shitton of other bonus content, and now _four_ drops are $15 each in Ghosts. And the "season pass" is a five-fucking-dollar discount on that.
This is bullshit. Just utter bullshit. I can't believe Ghosts came with _one_ co-op mission, when MW2/3 were loaded with them and Blops had plenty of zombies shit. But never fear, you can buy the rest extra!
Sorry Titanfall, even the mindless hordes of CoD fans are getting sick of this shit and Ghosts failed to out-earn its predecessor by millions of copies, the first CoD to have done so. You don't have anywhere near that kind of fanbase. Nickel and diming them isn't going to work.

I'm not surprised by this. In first it's EA, one of their game without overpriced microtransactions (and yes IMO, this map pack is a microtransaction) is a dream.
I expected it because i followed the preorders numbers and selled units and like CriticKitten said earlier: the game is tanking ! Tomb Raider (a remake of a one year old game) sold lot more, it say a lot.
I hope for them the X360 version will save the game (it's weird: a studio is hopping to save a new gen game will the old gen... Crazy no ?) but in reality i don't care lol.
It's the same thing, just a different name... It's just a matter of semantic, nothing more.
Of course it's just my opinion and nothing more.

Textures, new weapons pack or even map packs can be considered microtransactions, it's just an opinion because microtransactions ARE Dlc... It's downloadable content for the game, no ?Bindal said:

Except for Microtransactions, you pay something from the game itself and get to use (usually) it exactly ONCE - or it's a single copy you can use infinitely if it's for example a single gun/scope/grip/camo.
This is plain and simple DLC. A Mini-Addon. You pay once, you get a few items, you get to keep them forever.
The price doesn't matter and you not liking the price doesn't automatically make it Microtransactions. It just makes it overpriced for you (and in this case, probably for most people)
I tend to agree... But it's just an opinion because, for example, in some multiplayer games, you can buy "packs", which give you one use items and/or weapons and characters (the ME3 multiplayer packs is a perfect example). So you have with microtransactions one use items AND mini-addon (characters, weapons, textures etc).Bindal said:
I find the differences between the two more andmore vague as the time pass.
I think it's almost the same thing... How can we make a difference between the two ?
