Another reason why the "HD Gen" is worst thing to happen to gaming.

Gamers who pre-order Army of Two: The 40th Day now will have exclusive access to the game's all-new explosive multi-player mode, Extraction, at launch. This mode will be unlocked for all other players one month after the game ships.

Army of Two may have delivered on co-op, but when it came to an online experience many players were left wishing for more. As a result the multiplayer component of Army of Two: The 40th Day has been completely reworked. We want to give fans unparalleled online functionality and a unique experience that can only come with a co-op game.

This is getting worse and worse.

What's this have to do with HD?

This is a problem with the DL Gen.

Well i thinks its OK. You should be rewarded for jumping the gun on a game. What if it totaly phails and online sucks?

Hope that this does not happen to all games.

Pre-Order Bonuses, such as the Golden Lancer in GeoW2 and Sergeant Johnson character in Halo 3 :ODST are okay, but this??

Is EA going the same way as Activision, being overly harsh and stupid??

actually it's the "DLC and Pre-Order gen"

btw, blaming this on HD gen is completely off base, loco145 :evil: Jandurin

Meh, what I blame the HD gen for is developers feeling the need to go HD when the systems can't handle decent graphics with that res so much, which in turn limits what they can actually do in the game. HD, much like things like Blu-Ray, shouldn't come until next gen when systems are better equipped to handle it. Now, don't get me wrong - optional HD is fine. If I'm not mistaken, a few games last gen had HD output. But it being the norm? Nah... Done more to hinder gaming moving forward than help it.Shafftehr

[QUOTE="Jandurin"][QUOTE="loco145"]Why not? I blame this on the hordes of players paying for features that used to be free. Enjoy being milked more and more :(

Good Path: Expand Remedey audience by making a 360 version of Alan Wake.

Crappy Path: Nerf the game design because the 360 can't handle the original concept.

Extremely Crappy path: Can the PC version altogether in a vain crusade to force PC gamers to buy a 360 because they refused to pay for a crappy P2P online service.

And we all know which way we are taking :(

Simply PRE-ORDER if you want the multiplayer at launch. Problem solved.

It is a dumb move though, I'm not interested in this game anyway.
