IT'S FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Why not play it yourself and form you own decision before slagging off Bioware for there free content, because there are allot of people they are actually enjoying it, who knows you may too, and yes its freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..

Are you shitting me!!, are people really complaining about free content, i mean even if its not your cup of tea its bloody free!, i wish more bloody devs would do this.

Yay, yeaaaaa, let's thank them for a crappy DLC. Of course you didn't wonder why the shitty Firewalker DLC that has almost nothing to do with ME2 gameplay is free and an actual gameplay mission DLC is paid one. You guys are perfect consumers. Silly and gullible, but hey, it's freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

So Zaeed was shitty as well was it!

Your taste is your own, and no i'm not silly or gullible, i know what i like and thats that, i dont need no ass telling me otherwise!!

Has nothing to do with being a consumer it's just I'm not a basement dwelling, Amp energy drinking grump who will complain about everything including free fucking content to an already incredible game. The Zaeed mission and Normandy missions were free also but I guess they have nothing to do with the ME2 gameplay and/or story right? For fuck's sake.

Gosh, I think I'm starting to see why companies are pushing DLC on market. Well, seems we got different philosophy. I guess you guys like email spam too - it's free!!! That's basically your only argument. And Zaeed was actually very nice DLC. I suppose the new character DLC will also be on similar level - about an hour of typical ME2 gameplay, and I guess that's why it's paid one. BTW, I'm actually judging this DLC on opinions of ppl who played it and you are basing it on what? Two things: it's free and your magic crystal ball.

Your comparison is dumb. Period. So you haven't actually played it yourself and you're just here to spread pollution? Methinks that's called trolling sir.

All I said was based on opinions I read on Bioware forum. Maybe instead of arguing with me you should go and read them too? But I guess because it's free it cannot be criticized - that's your ONE and ONLY argument. Care to deny?

I'd actually be playing it if my PC hadn't died on my last night, it's getting serviced at the moment. Wow, what a concept, actually playing it yourself and forming your own conclusion based on your OWN experience. And if it was shitty, it wouldn't bother me THAT much because I didn't pay one red cent for it.

Just played it. After 5 minutes of flying this thing I missed Mako, rofl. Controls are garbage.

Man people complain about such bullshit!!, the dlc so far has been very welcome and excellent value, played all the new hover craft missions and it was a blast controls were a bit flaky but no worse than the mako, just takes getting used, if you like ME2 all this free content is excellent, keep it coming Bioware.

Excellent? Could you tell us what is so excellent about it? Story, gameplay, enemy AI, charactaer interaction? Please, share with us.

QFT!

Cant wait to try it. :)

Just finished the second hovercraft mission, not bad not bad at all, bioware keep this good free content coming.

So he liked it and now you want to attack his opinion because you're a curmudgeon?

I want to know why he liked it, however I got a feeling we won't see an answer.

Tried it and thought it was fun, a nice diversion flying around blasting the hell out of stuff, they could have made it more story orientated, but its free so i'll take it. :)

I've downloaded it but haven't played it yet. About 80% of the comments about it on Bioware's forums are very negative. Many are calling it outright trash while a minority is defending it mostly because it's free, not because they think it's great or a revolutionary improvement over the Mako.

I'll find out myself later today who is being honest or who is being overly critical.

I played two Hammerhead missions and they were fun, miles better than the Mako anyway. I'd like to see something akin to a race with that thing, it brought back memories when I used to play games like F-Zero as a child. Of course it's nothing special, it's "free" content for most of us. But I can see it being implemented in ME3 as a better form of exploration.

I haven't been in any combat though. People were complaining that the missiles were boring and that it would be more fun for it to have a devastating primary beam gun like the Normandy has it (the Thanix), which needs to be recharged though.

Finaly got to play them last night and it was an enjoyable if short blast, def controls and is more fun than the Mako, the Hammerhead takes some getting use to, but then its all very easy, like DC said i would have liked more story but i guess this was just all about the Hammerhead combat, all in all a decent free bit of content.

Wow.........Can't fucking wait to see what it is!

Hmmmmm?????

More content?

Lmao! Bioware really should abandon any future attempts at combat vehicle creation, it's obviously not where they live as a development team and a third attempt would only continue to frustrate us. The only good thing I can say about this is that as free content, Firewalker doesn't offend as much as it would if we had to pay for it. They did the smart thing by not charging for this very poor package.

Compared to the Mako, the Hammerhead's controls and mission mechanics are are terribly linear. For example, you just can't pop out of the HH at anytime like you could with the Mako, those times are fixed and designated. That should tell you right there that exploration is no longer an element Bioware seems concerned with in the ME universe. And because Firewalker plays like such a separate experience from the main game, it comes off more as an unsatisfying distraction then an enhancement/add on. The maneuvering and jumping dynamics of the HH are more in line with a platform racer like WipeOut or Mario than say a combat vehicle like those you find in Halo. Specifically spots on one mission that curiously function just like power-up checkpoints and other times jumping and hovering over highlighted positions for resources etc.

If you didn't know better, at times you could swear that the HH was stuck in a pinball machine. And that's no exaggeration.

The HH itself looks okay as a combat vehicle, but it's nowhere near as tough as the Mako was. The HH can be taken down by shots that my Shepard would shrug off in a gunfight. I found it was best to keep a good amount of space between the HH and it's foes, choosing instead to work them over from a distance. Missiles that home in on a target sounds like a nifty concept, but the HH's missiles fly wherever hell they want to go. Button mashing aided me in ensuring that my missiles eventually were forced to hit something I actually aimed for.

Want to know how tacked on and cheap a job Bioware did with the HH? They didn't even bother to create a HUD for this thing, that is just plain LAZY or they just DIDN'T CARE. There's honestly nothing to talk about with Firewalker's plot (if you can call it a plot), it's both unremarkable and anti-climactic.

Overall, Firewalker isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, but it isn't a joy to play either.
