I was upset to find out today that we are going to have to pay for the expansion. I remember hearing that Incognito was going to make all of the expansions free? I know they are a company trying to make money, but charging for one map and a drop ship is absurd. I would even come to terms with the expansion being four or five dollars, but nine is flat out too much.

After buying a sixty dollar game that only game with 5 maps, i am appalled to hear that i will have to pay for one more. I know I sound cheap, but it is not about money, it is the fact that they are charging me for something that should have been free in the first place.

Does anyone else feel the same way?

Yeah DLC has been both a blessing and a curse for consoles it seems.

technically it was a 40 dollar game, the extra 20 you paid was for the headset.

Five bucks would have been perfect for an expansion of this scope. I don't blame them for charging for this extra work though.

Not really no. It's really much more than an update or a patch.

you can take solice in however that the new map has better graphics it has been said before more time to polish it so it is expected also the other five maps have been changed to fit the dropship in would of liked a new weapon too

If they added 2 new maps rather than just the one I would maybe pay the 10 bucks. But I just think that there isnt enough content in this update to warrant a 10 dollar price tag. I'm not buying it... I can see them doing what was done for Gears of War and making the update free after a few months. Sooner or later sales are just going to stop, so they might as well just make it free... So, I'll just wait till then

I feel a little sucker punched by the way I decided on ps3 because of it being free online play. Then soon after realising the game you have payed for you really need to keep paying for if you want to go and stay online.

Ide be interested to know if this is just a sneakyway of us paying for what we all think were not paying for, online gameplay.

I dont mind paying the 8.99 extra because it supports the developers and helps them keep the servers up and running. As well they did a great job and if they charge for the booster pack they have more incentive to make another. By the way no one is forcing you to buy the booster, you can still play the game without it.

I don't think it's absurd. They put alot of work, blood, sweat and tears into it. People are acting like you can't play the game anymore if you don't have the dlc pack. This is bull. I played like 10 matches today in which there was no use of the new map or drop ship. So is it an absurd price? No. But is it too much for a cheap mofo like me and a few others? Yes/Maybe. Hopefully it will be free later down the road. But I understand them wanting to charge for it. It's kinda funny how people are nitpicking over 3 dollars. 5 bucks hell yea! 8?! Hell no!

$8 dollars... not that much. These maps in Warhawk aren't like maps in other games too, their magnitude is wayyyy larger, and probably need a lot more effort to design properly. Not to mention, this new map is about 100 times better than the other maps, but you'll never know that if you don't buy it.....
