The game was dissapointing it wasnt long enough and not worth the money if the map pack was available free people may consider to buy the game. Not many games will i deem to be dissapointing but this one i felt was far to much for the amount of time it takes to complete the campaign and get bored of the standard maps.

I wasn’t really wowed with the Beta and recently learning the retail game only has 8 maps for a multiplayer focused FPS for 50 bucks feels kind of cheap.

If this pay addon added more than just maps, then adding a price tag would start to seem reasonable to me. I don’t know I may be a cheap bastard as it’s not like 7 bucks breaks the bank but it feels underhanded charging for something that is small but critical (more maps for a low map count game).

Haha, I remember playing this game when it was in beta and how crappy it was. It costs 50 on PC from standard sellers (may be a bit cheaper depending on who you buy it from), so now this 7 dollar increase to give it a whopping three new maps makes it cost just as much as an Xbox 360 game. And then what about the people who DID buy the 360 one for 60? They’re paying nearly 70 now. What the hell? It’s so unfair. This game isn’t good enough to even THINK it has enough muscle to convince people it’s worth that much money.

The difference between a single player and a multiplayer game in this regard is simple: I decide which single player games are still worth playing years from now. I can’t control which multiplayer games will still have communities, though, so those which can still be played with people years from now may well not be those I wish I could play (and usually aren’t).

That was meant as a reply to MinisterofDOOM and Vinraith. Damnable internets.

I still play Goldeneye…
But really, how many games do you play 10 years on? Only classics like System Shock. I too really wish only classic games, worth playing decades later, would be released, but on my list of impossible wishes World Peace and a pet T-Rex still come first.

Played the beta, enjoyed it. Bought the game cheap through Zavvi, but ended up getting it delivered late. Never actually installed it because despite generally liking it, I always wanted to play something else just that bit more. I fear it will never actually make it to the top of my list.

That should be “almost no one,” Psychopomp does an excellent job of providing the exceptions that basically prove the rule. Interesting side note, all of those exceptions are PC-only. Of course, their communities have also become small, insular, and insanely hardcore. I enjoyed Counterstrike in its day, but absolutely can’t imagine trying to play it now. For anyone that hasn’t been playing the game pretty much those ENTIRE 10 years the game is no longer really viable.

“No one buys multiplayer shooters with the intent of still playing them in 10 years.”

Funny

Ten years later, people still play CS 1.6

Eleven years later, people still play Tribes

Thirteen years later, people still play TFC

Thirteen years later, people still play Quake

Sixteen years later, people still play Doom

Y’know, just to name a few.
