Dude, content is cut from all games. All of them. Every game ever made has content planned right up until the last minute that gets cut. Every one of them. No game ships with everything they intended to develop in the package.

You don't know much about how making games works out, do you..?
There's plenty of games what dont have content cut out and later had DLC as extra.

What?. All games have elements in development that are planned, but ultimately cut. There are hundreds of reasons why, but the usual ones are either;
a) They ran out of time/resources to properly build and test the package (some content might remain).
 The content didnt fit with the balance and themes of the game.
c) The content was replaced with something superior.
No matter how people spin it the Hammerhead and co were not finished before release. They just were not. Simple as that. BioWare and EA had decided on a cut-off date for the game to go gold and be sent for printing. Like any company, BioWare had to manage development and prioritise development of some elements over others.
I wouldn't be surprise if the Hammerhead was planned from day 1, but when push come to shove they ran out of time. What we got in ME2 was the best they could do. Thankfully, they can add extra content that would have been cut via DLC.
I'm not saying that all DLC for all games is cut content. I'm saying that the DLC we're getting, if it was cut, was cut because it was unfinished at the time, not because BioWare felt like ripping it from the game to screw gamers.

they won't say anything until they are absolutely sure, remember this little thing called "return to ostagar"?

Sometimes they won't say anything at all. Even after release.

/me mumbles something about Pinnacle Station.

Ok, so if it's coming out tomorrow - then they should be letting us know ANY TIME NOW.

If it's not, since so many people are expecting it tomorrow since we have 3 (arguably 4) different sources all supporting the notion that it comes out tomorrow, before we all riot, they should be letting us know that's not the case ANY TIME NOW.

So, everyway I see it, we should be hearing something anytime now ...

... any time now ...

... (fainter) any time now ...

The official site kind of says that the Hammerhead is planned to be released for the Cerberus Network, what  I tindicates its free:

"All Cerberus Network operatives receive access to all the latest updates, news, and feeds streamed directly to their console. You will be the first to know of new bonus content, the latest patches, and more just by being a member. Stay tuned for more info on the upcoming Hammerhead vehicle, bonus missions, weapons and more!"

I swear, I'm almost at the point where I want to connect my brain to the Cerberus Network and then hit myself with a sedative. That way I'll sleep until the Hammerhead comes out.


that doesn't sound like a bad idea, actually...........




I'd put money on the bet that the people at BioWare are watching these threads and are saying "Let's wait another hour and see what happens" and just grining at us who are FRANITICALLY WAITING FOR IT!

Lol, quite possible given the way we've behaved as a community at times. Hopefully we get it within this upcoming hour.

I feel they are going to lose some poeple starting in the next week, and it is not because they haven't released the hammerhead. It is because we are completely in the dark on what is going on. They said in a couple of weeks, but is that this week, next week, or the week after.



This is what is bother is me. It is the fact that we have very little information on what is going on. Any news released would be much appreciated. Personally, i would make me feel like they haven't ignored us.



P.S. if this is an EA marketing strategy....it sucks

"This Arthur Dent," comes the cry from the furthest reaches of the galaxy, and has even now been found inscribed on a mysterious deep space probe thought to originate from an alien galaxy at a distance too hideous to contemplate, "what is he, man or mouse? Is he interested in nothing more than tea and the wider issues of life? Has he no spirit? has he no passion? Does he not, to put it in a nutshell, f***?"

They lose people every hour - it's standard DLC, not an expansion. It doesn't bring people back in, and it's only useful for people who haven't moved on yet.

They HAVE to understand that though, they HAVE to be planning on making an announcement or comment any time now.

Aaah, thanks for the D. Adams.

[giosclone]

No word yet huh?



I hope that EA rep Clive was true. He was cool, we chatted for a bit and he could see all dlc codes on his computer. .



any ways if you are bored with Mass effect 2. and are unhappy with the DLC busines



Gamespot is offereing $52 trade in value only this week.



I mean its like $1 more for a used one.

You can like rebuy it later if you need to.



I beat the game 5 times now with almost every possible out come.

I am just waiting for DLC so this option is tantalizing for me.



I am for sure going to trade it in if there is no DLC this week.

I highly doubt they will announce anything today, they're probably saving the announcement for the GDC. That said here's to hoping they don't.

[Magnabyte]

Just to point out, we did get a DLC at the 2 week period, the armor and shotgun. Just to point that out, personally, I'd rather have the Hammerhead when its done, and when we have like 5 planets to roam with it , would be nice if we got it soon, or if we got word, but its bioware's DLC, and personally, I'm just happy they have a group making it for us To many people think Bioware owe people stuff, we should be more thankful for stuff they have planned. Anyway, not flaming, not insulting, my opinion is all

I heard from a friend of a sister of a daughter of a cousin of an uncle twice removed that an EA rep told his cat who told his cat friends that the Hammerhead was being released tomorrow in a Covert Operation.

Nice.That has got to be the funniest thing I've heard this week.

PS. If he told his cat it has to be true.

Is this the same person that called EA and got exclusive information from a phone jockey?
