Anyone got it yet? What's it like?

Dunno if I would use them enough to justify buying them, but off to download the trailer video, to see if it changes my mind

I am shocked they released them so quickly tbh

paid DLC is fastly becoming a norm which is sad for a month old game

No and I won't be. Anything ready thay quickly should have shipped with the game. Instead I'd rather they sorted out the matchmaking the ****s.

I've been playing this a lot today and I love the MP. Sadly I have to play against bots because I can't be bothered to wait 10 minutes for a game.

A mate and I have been playing wingman against the bots and it's great fun.

Im not gonna bother, 1 remake, 1 pc map and 1 new map for 800 points a month within launch seems like a bump, specially when the matchmaking could do with being sped up. I'll play other games that I get for christmas and wait till this is free or end up forgetting about gears =/.

Won't be buying them.

Wish they would just sort the matchmaking and other issues rather than trying to milk more money out of people.

Way to early, should have been out in the summer when the is a lull of games.

Who would buy this when the game is:

A) So new
B) Can't be played online

Cant see the point in buying them As far as I'm concerned this game lasted a week (as DannyJo rightfully predicted)

Its a good game and I wish more people played it regularly. Before the LAN I was struggling to get 6 people to play with.

I'll probably get them soon, play the game regularly with mates. Great laugh, private parties.

The timing of the game was all wrong, they should have held it back to the new year when everyone was bored of a reskinned COD.

As I said I really like playing this myself or with a few mates in a private party against or with bots on the teams to make the numbers up.

I spent most of yesterday playing 1v1 with 4 bots per side against a mate and it was great fun.

Everyone predicted that, no game lasts more than 3 weeks at the very most with ocuk.

GOW 1 did, as did COD 4 and "5" and FIFA is played throughout the year

The only exception CoD4?

800 points/ :/

GoW 1 and CoD4 are very much exceptions to the general rule and they were both fantastically unique. I don't know about fifa as I don't play sports games though and WaW has a lot weaker following than CoD4 does as far as I can tell.

I'd absolutely LOVE to be wrong though, it would be great to get a bunch of ocuk regulars playing the same game.

You just said no game, now you are admitting some do last more than 3 weeks

I think you win a prize.

You are wrong then as regulars still play Cod4

Less baiting please, it doesn't do anyone any favours.

You have said something which is obviously wrong. Gets boring reading you preach stuff as if it is fact, when infact it isn't.

OCUK regulars play the same game a lot.

COD4, WaW, L4D, PES2009 to name the recent ones.
