Just saw this, at least the first few minutes. Wow looks like the DLC is a total terd. Just so sad.

It's terrible... a play to make this pretty good tactical shooter into a GTA type game, I'm sure the younger generation of gamers like this but to me, it's a slap in the face to a good tactical game. But also expected based on what is happening in the industry, all the great games are being made into clown shooters in the name of DLC greed... just look at Ubisoft's 4 recent titles, Siege, Honor, Wildlands, and even Steep... all pretty damn good games killed by DLC that turns a match from a military themed shooter to a clown shooter. and not just Ubisoft, look at EA with Battlefield 1, and even the remake of a classic, COD Modern Warfare remastered, hell they remastered it to support buying steel via DLC packs to unlock skins and crap... I won't even play on public servers anymore because seeing a bunch of stupid rainbow colored guns just pisses me off. OK, rant over...but it's all pushing me further away from gaming.

BTW, I played this DLC, broadcast it for about 10 mins... quit in disgust.

Yeah, this DLC is an absolutely disaster. Misses the mark completely. Why are they releasing all this awful DLC, for a game with so much tactical potential at its core?

I see no need for it, 117 hrs and I'm barely over 50% through the game. Still enjoying it as much as ever.
Plus, Sniper 3 on Tues.

Isn't this game a massive commercial success already??


Why do they feel the need to dumb it down?

To reach everyone they can. It's better to offer that experience in optional dlc than to ruin the entire game, so its all good with me.
Another dlc along the lines of the game later on would be nice.

FYI: Sniper 3 is released a bit early and good to go on Steam now.

athat first DLC was STUPID imo... but the new one, just released yesterday, Ghost Down or Down Ghost, or whatever... is pretty awesome, very tactical, harder... one enemy has special camo that makes them invisible till real close or you ID with infaRed... pretty intense fights. Pretty much, trying to save all the scattered CIA operators that's been compromised.


imo

I'll get it, but it's not out until the 6th if you don't have season pass. It does look good.
