Many people seem to be upset about this, but I think its great news. It is VERY reassuring that there is a TON of dlc planned and likely already in development.

Just think about it. Hammerhead as DLC means that it almost certainly won't be integrated into the base game. That means that Bioware developed an entirely independent game mechanic JUST FOR DLC.

Designing the Hammerhead, as well as the controls, physics, weapons, and enemy AI must have been very expensive and time consuming. The only reason to invest so much money is if you forsee recouping it through DLC sales.

Trust me, unless you are somehow able to use the Hammerhead on planets included on the disc, we are going to be getting the kind of DLC support we were promised for ME1.

ehm why not just leave Hammerhead in the original game then and add any futher aditional content via DLC for it later on?
As of now it quiet obviously looks like thy removed the thing and added it to an DLC with a price tag.
Hence you got a ton of pissed of costumers, adding all the suckers that still claim / think its gonna be free

except its free so........you were saying?

[Mox Ruuga]

I don't have the huge problem with paying for DLC so long as it isn't worthless trash.

Heh, maybe you will need the Hammerhead DLC in order to be able to get further "planet" DLC, which require a vehicle for travelling between points of interest. That would make people so mad, it'd be glorious. Much nerd rage to be seen.

we still have no idea if the hammerhead is free or not still waiting for a clarification about this.

[Squallypo]

It comes out after the launch. I bet it will have a hefty price tag. I think only the launch-day DLC is free

[Orfinn]

And I guess BW didnt have the time to test the Hammerhead properly? Wonder how it will play out on smaller area planets, maybe it only will be used on planets with enough space.

[DomerPyle]

bah. figures. tbh, the only way i'll buy mass-DLC is if it's wrapped up in a neat little bundle, like the Knights of the Nine pack for oblivion, for example. (unless, ofc, it's "included" w/the collectors' edition )

[Kolos2]

or you might just be hikking a lot.p

[GnusmasTHX]

I hardly consider this a guarantee for my DLC.



The Hammerhead should've been in the game in the first place. If it's free, it's not even really DLC then... Other than that they packaged it seperately from the main game on purpose to fool you into thinking as much.

Since the Cerberus Network Card included with new copies of the game only provides free access to the Day One DLC and the Hammerhead DLC is stated to be released AFTER launch, I would assume that the Hammerhead DLC will have a fee associated with it. Don't set your hopes on it being a free download. It'll probably be 1200 MS points or around $12-15.

maybe you should read links before you post them. It clearly says that the new character, new items, and the Hammerhead are all part of the "Cerberus Network", which is either included or a one-time purchase.

Everything mentioned is part of the same package, just not all at the same time.

That's extremely unlikely. For a game mechanic like a vehicle you need specific areas designed for its use. They can't have just removed the vehicle and left the areas in. Therefore, there is unlikely to be any content in the base game that the Hammerhead would fit with. Therefore, any areas that let us use it must also be added by the DLC. Therefore, the OP is likely correct.

[muse108]

awww ****, thats even worse. The Hammerhead is NOT launch day and therefore NOT free it looks like. Bloddy hell, now they are making us pay for parts of the actual game. DLC is evil, much prefer larger expansion packs that can be purchased instores. Micropayments are an invention of the devil.

So first they remove the Mako and by inference all instances of planetary exploration in the vehicles and now they're going to sell/give us the vehicle with no instances of planetary exploration?

Man, I wish I worked in Bioware. I'd love to know what's going on behind the scenes there...

[jomonoe]

This is a welcome spin on things. If this were any other game, I'd write it off as just a money grab. But this is Bioware: Mass Effect 2!!!!! I'll gladly pay them for DLC as long as they keep it fresh.

No no, they sell/give the vehicle, then they sell us the individual DLC planets that you can only explore with said vehicle. No vehicle, no DLC planets.

[Dave of Canada]

I don't see why people hate DLC. I spend far worse amounts of money on horrible games, at least with bioware games I know what I'm getting gameplay wise.

[KillTheLastRomantic]

Sorry if I've missed something, I don't visit the forums frequently, but is the Hammerhead THE planetory exploration vehicle? And hence we can't do any planetory exploration quests unless we've downloaded it?

[SpectreNihlus]

actually as long as there are no achievements tied to the dlc then It is free most of the time

for some reason MS wants you to pay to get achievements

We can land on the planets by drop ship, but it's in a small area called a "N7" mission and we do the mission and get out. The Hammerhead is the Mako of ME2, so you can't just drive around without the DLC.

[Reconfire89]

Seeing as so many complaints from the first game were over the Mako's unkind controls, maybe BioWare assumed that not everybody wanted the tank as a necessity.

In that sense, they may have planned the main game purely as an on-foot adventure.

Possibly, the entire DLC includes an array of extra content cut from the core game that BioWare thought wouldn't appeal to some players, but that they still wanted to have implemented. And that's why it's all been compiled together as free content for those who would like it.

That's just speculation, though.
