I actually HAVE faith in that DLC. Wow, that's the 1st time...
I hear it's about 1h 30 min of gameplay, which is not bad imo. Really excited about it really

It's really odd how easily it's destroyed by small arms fire. I guess it's supposed to encourage players to continually move around while fighting in it but it doesn't make any sense for Shepard himself to be able to withstand more punishment from a geth assault rifle than a tank.



Not displaying the correct key bindings during the tutorial is a pretty big blunder too. You can just look up the correct ones yourself but it still shouldn't have happened.



I did like the way it handled. Give some open worlds to mess around in and it could be fun.

it was a fine DLC



a lot of fanboys will get mad of course, but Bioware did a decent job. I mean it was free and all so don't expect 3-4 hours of entire gameplay

 I, for one, am not disappointed in the DLC, per se. I enjoyed my little 30-minute flying pinball :wub:, and as a concept, I believe the Hammerhead will go far in the game. The missions themselves are mindlessly entertaining, to certain dispositions, and reflect the average N7 missions well. That said, on to the criticism! :police:

The vehicle itself could use a bit of work. Primarily, that would include the addition of an autocannon-type secondary weapon and changes to the mass accelerator cannon, notably no more tracking! It looks, walks and talks like a cannon, not a missile launcher! :huh:Also, maybe kinetic barriers, as well. It seemed way too fragile for a heavy support vehicle. The handling and movement utilities are good, in my opinion, though I believe they could use a bit of fine-tuning.

The missions, while keeping to the standard N7 outline, are not what one should expect from a DLC, whether it's free or not. <_< The time-length of the mission was fine to me, since blitzing doesn't appeal to me. However, the fact there's only 5 such mission makes it wholly unappealing. I now have this predatory-looking beast of a pinball sitting in my hanger with nothing for it to do. :crying: Hell, even Grunt needs to be let out every once in awhile and he's only a krogan. As such, I must state my desire for more missions, not longer ones.

But, this is my opinion and I am only a lowly consumer.

I'm playing through it right now, and I love it. So much fun hopping around shooting rockets at Geth's faces.



Hopefully, Bioware has more missions planned that involve using the Hammerhead tank.

I thought it was alright, I wasn't expecting them to sort of magically let people use the hammerhead on random planets like the mako, only thing that annoyed me was the lack of any auto save on there, I get to the last item and BAM! my crappy armor gets destroyed by a normal geth shooting his rifle and I have to start over again

I really, really dug the little tease at the end.  I had a huge smile on my face.

The missions themselves were very varied.  Each mission used the vehicle's mechanics differently in really fun ways.  The new vehicle handled like a dream, what an upgrade from the original Mako!  So mission accomplished, Bioware.  I would love to see some more vehicle missions as DLC or in the finale.

My only complaint is that the whole DLC package felt a bit quiet.  It lacked character.  It didn't affect the gameplay negatively or anything like that, but it did make the experience as a whole feel a bit lacking.  A little squad banter would have been great. It would have been awesome to hear Tali complain about my horrible
controlling of the vehicle.  If Mass Effect 2's (squad member) actors aren't available to perform for DLC, it would be nice to have new characters to have some banter with  I perked up when I finally discovered some audio logs when on foot.  A little character audio goes a long way.

Congrats on launching the DLC, Bioware, and thank you for making it free for people who have the Cerberus Network.  I'm looking forward to more free stuff and paying for some premium DLC.  If you guys make a full on expansion you have my money.

I quite enjoyed the short amount of content that was there. I like the Hammerhead in general, my only real qualm being that the missile launcher seems to pick its own target. It would be a lot better, I think, if the missiles homed in on whichever enemy you had targeted, as opposed to just whichever they felt like.



Definitely want more! With the ability to save while in the missions, preferably. That was my other concern.

Oh on a side note, I think it's cool how the ... item you obtain at the end of one of the missions, is sitting inside your Cabin on the Normandy :)

I hope they make more dlc involving it. I felt it handled pretty well and the actually combat was kinda fun. The only issue is that there wasn't enough combat. The linear traveling isn't bad at all when it leads to a conflict.

It's adjacent the N7 helmet you get from the Normandy Crash DLC :)
I like that he collects little trophies

You obviously haven't been reading the posts.

So BioWare should be known as the company that makes free disappointing DLC?

PROS:



- Handled pretty easily and was fun to zoom around.

- The intial story was interesting and the reference to Eden Prime piqued my curiosity.

- Visually it was pretty cool. The scenes with the ground shake/explosions were cool. Gave the impression it was a dangerous area.



- VA was well done, the emotion in his voice made me think something bad was gonna happen.



CONS:



- On foot sections were lack luster.

- No health bar HH or way to do repairs other then hover over icons.

- Giant glowing icons that screamed ''go here'' ruined any sense of exploration.

- Lack of maps.

- No autosave?

- Poor ending. Lack of reward for doing them all.

I was sure I was going to be disappointed with the Hammerhead / Firewalker stuff, but in the end I actually quite like it all. There's a brilliant sense of nostalgia I get from playing these missions, I never realise how much I missed the following from ME1:

- Running over geth destroyers whilst they attempt to fire rockets at you :o
- Jumping crazily from really high places
- Shooting / strafing at big geth contraptions for far... too... long until they fall over
- The half-baked, slightly unfriendly storytelling-via-text missions (just like uncharted planets on ME1)
- The slightly clumsy feeling to whole Bioware-does-vehicles thing, with the additional feeling that the vehicle must somehow be ripped off from Unreal Tournament...

Ahh.... I love it! (seriously) <3

It's disappointing that the HH stuff isn't more integrated with the game like the Mako was, but this DLC was never going to fix that. Instead, this is a nice little set of mini-adventures that shows us what could have been and makes my copy of ME2 feel complete.

I do wish you could actually get out or had other weapons on it, though.


Absolutely! It was fun. B)

The only thing that bothered me was the lack of a shield or health bar (seriously, WHY?).

More missions, please. :)

The amount of credits and resources was so neglible, that the next time I play through ME2, I just simply won't bother with them.

The only possible reward is the Biotic Damage upgrade, which as an Adept, I love the chance to get early, it'll help on Insanity NG+ run throughs :P

Well, you know... "Hope is the first step in the road to disappointment".

I'm not holding my breath on that one if BioWare's previous DLCs are any indication. Another Shale would be great, but it looks to be another Zaeed. His mission was nice, and the flamethrower proved useful for my Vanguard, if Kasumi's mission is longer than that, then great, but the lack of interaction and recruitment mission are pretty big negatives IMO.

No reason to complain, it was free and it gave a taste to how the vehicle combat can be done. It was a great improvement from the Mako , I think Bioware has the formula down ... looking forward to perfect vehicular combat in ME3 :).

Idk why people say the Shale DLC was great. I honestly didn't think it was. It was cool, but for $15?! No way in hell. Luckily I reserved it and got it day 1
