New competitive Army of Two maps due out next week

You know you've wanted them, so we're going to tell you about the new Army of Two maps. You and your colleague have mastered the game, you say? Well, time to team up again and conquer the SSC challenge mode -- that's Security and Strategy Corporation for the acronymically-challenged. This new mode offers four brand-new co-op maps to play on that involve two teams rushing to complete a rigorous obstacle course in order to join the SSC.

Alan Tascain, VP and General Manager of EA Montreal noted that "We want to support our fans with new content that delivers on the two-man gameplay but with a unique twist." Hopefully it delivers on the unique twist promise. This new pack will be available in the US on April 24th for $7.99 and sometime in May for Europe at GPB 3.80. Sorry again, Europe, for the arbitrary delay on your end.

Sort differences we can live with ie shorter then 2 weeks. It starts becoming a problem when long then 4 weeks.

Short delays are not problem ie less then 2 weeks, when its longer then 4 week that get us rub up the wrong way.

Really it should be same day but things happen etc. We European lot are not babies. Unlike USA when they had to wait few weeks for GT5Prolog.

Man I refuse to pay for maps, or any DLC. It just really pisses me off.

agreed, it's rather disgusting.

I'd rather have the region-lock taken off...

Seeing as you call yourself a writer, you should really learn to hyphenate properly.

What they need to do is release a patch with alternate control layouts.

I hate it that they used 'R2' to fire weapon. It just feels wrong and uncofortable. If I hold it for more than a second, it feels like my finger is about to slip off. And sometimes it does.

Hell it feels like a port. And any game that uses 'R2' to fire, is pretty much a port. Lost Planet, and Area 51 come to mind.

I e-mailed EA about it, but I highly doubt they cared.

New DLC? Oh, that's cool I guess. Say any chance we could get the demo you released on the 360 on the PS3? Please?

Yeah my friends and I refuse to buy this game based on he fact it mostly DLC. I rather invest more into something that was a good investment in the beginning like COD or the coming GTA

I have no problem with paying for DLC in general. But if you release the DLC parallel to or very soon after the main title launch, it is just to obvious that this could be in the game, but they simply decided to let you pay for it extra.

Also it is a matter of how good the value/price-ratio and quality of the main title is, and how good the value/price-ratio of the DLC is. AoT felt like short of a couple of hours of gameplay. Also it was just "bad" to begin with. So paid-DLC just doesn't feel right. I guess the value of just the DLC is ok. I would buy it for a great game, like CoD4.
