It's alright, shows some promise in creative thought/expansion.



Still lacks squad interaction/comments/input.



I completed in about 1hr and 20 mins.



I'd put it at above average.(7.5/10)

[MoonChildTheUnholy]

Well i really enjoyed it, but i have some things i did not like.



- No save feature for HH



- It still bugs me the lack of freedom i sense on HH maps, squad cannot exit vehicle etc.



- Squad says nothing about what goes on.. i took Tali and she hasn´t made one comment.. sigh.



- Ramming a creature and the HH says guided missiles are no match for them lol, i rammed them not shoot missiles, this is minor but they could have picked another line for this no?

- If the HH is stopped and any creature gets close to it or touches it just falls slowly to the ground and dies, lol.



- And finally, no reward? i mean what do we get for doing this mission? no new armors, no new weapons just another upgrade, really weak in this part.



I give this a 7/10.

I agree with all your other complaints about the Hammerhead (and I'll add that it needs a health display, especially given how little damage it absorbs), but I don't get this. You're not saying the Mako "exploration" maps in ME1 had more freedom, are you? You can go all over the place on the planet's surface, and when the map ends somewhere, it's not because there's an invisible wall, there's a cliff or something that the HH believably can't get past. Plus the environment feels far, far less repetitive.

Basically. Overlord does what the UNC missions in ME1 tried to do. This probably isn't realistic, but imagine how awesome ME3 could be if all its side missions were like Overlord. *sigh*

So is this DLC actually an improvement over most of the ME2 missions or is it just another hour of PEW-PEW-PEW shooting and covering?

[MoonChildTheUnholy]

By freedom sense i mean using our squad a bit more like in ME1 in these open maps. I liked those kind of commando missions we had in ME1 where we had to go to certain map spots and explore the facilities on foot, right now its just shoot the turrets and heavy mechs and vacuum around, not much fun imho, i think Overlord is the way to go but this mode lacks a bit more of complexity, everything really seems like playing level after a level, the fact we don´t exit the vehicle reinforces that even more.

The environments are really much better, but look at how many we got.

But really the most disappointing aspect in this mission was the reward, i remember in Bring down the sky ME DLC that when we finished there was some rewards, like a new armor or omni tool, here we get zip.

[spacehamsterZH]

Well, yeah, it sucks that you can't get out of the Hammerhead anywhere you want. I did like that you had to walk back to it once or twice, though. At least they got rid of the "press button to end mission" retardation.

Dialogue wise it's abit lacking considering the length of it, a good portion of it you spend investigating/traveling/site seeing.

The HH scenerios are improved in that the enviroments are more creative.

The final end game is where it shines with the strange story and it's execution.

It's a step in the right direction, they just need  to keep hammering some more dialogue/choices and team interaction  if possible.

Not enough Geth to shoot!

I was thinking about this dlc, and I felt like if was playing again Mass Effect 1, you know, with the vehicle exploration , fighting with the geth again and such kind of thing.

What do you think?

Same here. Entire DLC has a certain ME1 vibe to it, which is really welcome.

Seeing Space Cows, I had a sudden nostalgia hit as well.

Although the story and setting were different the plotting reminded me of BDtS.  You get there and are quickly contacted by ''radio'' by someone in need of help.  You travel from point to point to different bases and flip switches.  Then you go to the final base for the boss fight.  There you have to make a choice that determines the fate of those involved.  In between you zoom around the planet in a vehicle.

Overlord was good DLC. I of course would have wanted some squad dialog, but it's understandable that getting the whole cast to record lines just for a moderately small DLC mission may be inconvenient or unrealistic. Overall I think it was pretty good. Would have liked some sort of armor piece or weapon to come with it, though.

[SSV Enterprise]

The best DLC BioWare has yet released. Great story, and good original music. The final sequence was phenomenal- I could tell the devs put a lot of work into the environment.

[Jazharah]

 I just played through it last night, and I must say it's worth its cost, though just.

The gameplay is what I am used to from ME2, the atmosphere however beats MANY missions that are already in the original game. It's BioWare story telling at its best, for about 2-3 hours, depending on your playstyle and difficulty.

I missed my squad commenting on situations in the game, however that lack of voice-acting was well-camouflaged by the situation itself, making it a non-issue. The setting itself is refreshing and by times breath taking without recycling other environments. The vehicle itself may not be to your taste, but the sequences where it is used are logical and immersive. Cutscenes are polished, conversation is like we're used to, though not very consequential until the end where the choices you are presented with may baffle you.
One big fat plus-point conversationwise: no clear paragon and renegade choices, and no 'points', which in turn makes it more immersive again by leaving out the incentives for choices other than direct game consequences, like a good RPG should.

Another pluspoint for immersion is the music. Though as I understand not made by Jack Wall and cohorts, it sets a perfect and spooky atmosphere fitting to the whole storyline and setting.

If the Overlord is *any* indication of what we can expect from upcoming DLC for ME2 and maybe even setting the tone of ME3, I can only say I'm looking forward to muchmuch more.

This DLC was good.
The HH part was great. The area was big and it looked great unlike the planets in ME1.
I also really loved what they did with the atmosphere. I'm quite sure i know which game gave them ideas for it.

The only negative side was that the dialogue was little lacking and your companions didn't really say anything.

[DarthKaldriss]

Best DLC for ME2 ever. I'd like to see more DLC at this level. I enjoyed it from start to finish.

This.


PS:  PLEASE bring back Lance Henriksen as ADMIRAL HACKETT, and make him an interactive character!

Can't agree with you more.
I really have difficulty imagining why they can't add save feature for HH.
And for Overlord, which has larger maps than FW, this really hurts.

[Wiggs Magee]

Played it and won't spoiler. But jesus the ending was abit heavy ( but still good) but sad bout no extra character dialouge but still worth every penny ... except one thing .. With the hammerhead crossing the rivers of lava... Im sorry i paid for a ME2 DLC not for Frogger!

[SkywardDescent]

I almost cried at the end...

[Si-Shen]

First off, I found this DLC had an excellent story, might have been nice to have had some companion comments in there, but the story had a lot of emotion in it.  Also the main area was just stunning, something that ME2 could use more of and ME3 needs a lot of.

Yeah. I'd be happy if most of them were just the size of the main hub with one or two bases to enter even (so long as the bases were each unique and not generic). Then maybe a few smaller N7 style ones and the odd more dead and vast UNC ones too (again, so long as the bases on them were each unique and not generic) to add in a nice mix.

[Arttu90]

This DLC was awesome, though I'm disappointed for the lack of rewards like new weaponry or armor.

[NovenseiWarden]

Great DLC!



Pleasantly surprised by the return of my favorite "shady" species.

Awesome terrain with hammerhead, and crazy culmination!



Only dissapointment was that the cows didn't steal my money

[Mylan99]

Well its an OK DLC, I give it a 5/10. Personally I don't like the HH and probably would not have got this DLC had I checked and saw that it used it a lot.
