I'm a little concerned that Bioware is putting in so many big changes (characters, verhicles) in DLC that comes after the release. Makes me wonder if they had a whole bunch of extra stuff that they couldn't fit on two discs and decided to make it all into DLC. Hmm...

Wait... thats a bad thing...?

If they had stuff they couldn't fit onto two discs, why not put it out there as DLC for the fans who always want more mass effect... you would rather waste their work? Its not like its necessary to buy it...

[brunomalta]

Blame EA.

[RPGFanboy]

How big is the DLC for the 360?

[Darth Wraith]

I have one question... If the Hammerhead is part of a DLC package, what are we going to drive around in if we don't have that DLC? The Mako?

There is a good chance that the DLC on launch day is just some things they didn't get finished and tested in time to put it on the disc.

yup thats the case

The missions that are already in the game use the Kodiak drop ship to place you at a specific location, and you go on foor from there.

So people who don't get the Hammerhead, are they stuck traveling vehicle maps on foot? That sucks.

The Hammerhead is for Hostile Planets, so far there aren't any and most likely come with the Hammerhead. N7 mission which have basically replaced the Hostile Worlds from ME1, at least until the Hammerhead DLC, have you dropped off at a location for a specific mission. I read somewhere that there are 30-40 of these things, some are 10 minute long missions(devs said this in video), and some are full blown 30-40 minute long missions(said this in video as well). N7 missions all tie back into the main story or some of the side stories. Main story ones being about the Collectors, Reapers and I believe Cerberus as well. The ones that tie in to side stories are the ones having to do with the stories of the various mercenary groups and Geth.

BioWare said: Every Version will get the Cerberus Card. I think Priestly say this in the old forum.
Still hope my english good enough(i hope i dont make many mistakes.)

I am
a little unsure of that, since the only mention I can now find of the
Cerberus Network card is on the CE. And Chris could be wrong. There's
no guarentee that it will be the same in all regions, and they do love
to make the UK bend over sometimes. just look at the DA:O CE.

The GAME online site mentions only the CE has the card.

If that's the case, it sounds like the ME2 DLC is working on appeasing those of us who miss the enjoyment of exploring planets like in ME1 and not just being "dropped off." Kudos to Bioware if that's true. I'm just disappointed that I'll be done with my first playthrough before the Hammerhead and its add-ons come out.

It has been confirmed many times that all new copies of the game come with the card.

Hrmm, I've only seen it said once, but alright. I'll trust you on this.

[Mister Mage]

Huh. I'm not sure I get it.



Are people who buying the new game just getting a steady flow of free, relatively small DLC? Might be a nice long-term plan for them, considering that they'll get the profit from used game sales if the person that buys the used game then purchases access to the Cerberus Network.



Some people seem to see the Cerberus Network as a shop, but the language seems to imply that it's more like a one-time fee for a lot of smaller DLC if you didn't buy the game new.

[Titan98RG]

I just hope it doesn't become like Soul Caliber where they starting charge $5 for more costumes...

So yes, we can now confirm the Cerberus Network does indeed allow registered users to access DLC, the Zaeed character (which did get leaked a tad early. Thank you Norway )

You're welcome!  *Waves from Norway*

Game sales rep or Evil Chris P.You decide whom to believe.

my 50 credits is on the Game info being wrong.

Access to the DLC network is free. The launch day DLC is free. Other then that, one assumes you will be paying for whatever they choose to release.

I hope that this is the case. It would be nice and cool but i have my doubts.

I've checked GAME, play and Gamestation. None of them mention the Standard edition getting the card, whereas the CE does.

I just think people have problem reading(not talking about you) since I posted just a little higher on the page the official post, also the "Cerberus Network" is esencially a downloading program and there is NO "Cerberus Card" its just a piece of paper with a code on it that lets you access the Cerberus Network. And it comes free in new copies of the game. 

Absolutely is the case.

The Cerberus Network will facilitate all DLC, but it will be able to provide you will patches and updates and DLC of all sizes. Some will be free, such as the Day One stuff and the group of DLC that comes later with the Hammerhead. There will be a variety of DLC after that of varying sizes, some free, some not, my guess is it will depend on the size, the Cerberus Network is a LONG TERM THING.

[crimzontearz]

just a couple of thoughts about people saying DLC should be free on day one

this is somethign that was argued to death on the DAO forums, to the point even Devs got pissed off at the 478574843 threads on why Shale is free and Warden's keep is not


yet, in DAO's case Shale was offered for free for 2 reasons

1: it was a measure to prevent used resale, if it had been a paid DLC it would have defeated the point

2: T.S.P. was cut from the game and re introduced later on because of the delay


Warden's keep was made AFTER the feature's lockdown deadline by the manpower bioware had to spare during the final stages of debugging and polishing

the question remained Whether or not it is right to release day on paid DLC just because circumstances (in this case the spare manpower) make it convenient for you to do so.


in my personal opion it is a matter of budget. 

If a day one DLC like warden's keep was to be created with the same budget as the main game then no it should never be paid for otherwise if it was made with a new budget then sure make us pay for it. Note that this is my personal opinion and my personal view on ethics and we do NOT know what budget Warden's Keep was made with (mainly because asking that question  pissed devs off)
