No they hyped the game as being something that it did not end up being...And if you know that stuff that they promised is not in the game you would expect people getting pissed about it... Why we should be pissed about COD AW?  We know what to expect  7-8 hour campaign, 10-14 maps with around 10 different game modes and a season that cost 50 Euro for 15-20 maps..


I keep seeing people say this but have yet to see anyone offer up any proof of these promises and omissions.

includes parts from Bungie's own dev footage on things they cut out or implemented far less exciting than they made it sound.

DLC that is on disc and even accessible without purchasing.

Wait wait wait wait how many missions will come???

The light level cap is raised from 30 to 32, and the new gear will facilitate progression beyond 30.

EXPLAIN!!!?!?!?!

You were on the internet the last months? How could you miss it all? Missed Angry Joe's review who details some of it?

Anyway if you want to make it short check this half minute video for one obvious promise

And if you want more check Angry Joe's review

The cut part I'll give ya.  But the second part, the bolded part, really?  You actually take marketing at face value?  Does this mean that you believe the apples they sell at McDonald's are the epitome of healthy for a child?  Come on.  Everyone is going to talk up their product.  Every movie trailer, even the one for a movie like Batman and Robin, tells you it is going to be the most amazing movie experience you are gonna see.  Games are taking the same approach these days.

Regarding the on-disc video, that doesn't tell me that the DLC is accessible.  That tells me that an area they intend to use later for DLC is available.  Using the same McDonald's analogy from before: you are using the empty building they haven't yet put the equipment and furnishings in to tell me they are deliberately not selling you fries for malicious purposes.  Now, if the DLC is a 128kb download that "unlocks" everything later, that is when this becomes an actual issue.

Awesome.

A Raid itself is a new full game and worth of $20... the already have content that managed me to enjoy over 200 hours... so this one will add more 50 hours at least.

BTW seems like there will be a focus in Story too.

I can't wait.

Yes... while reach lvl 32 will need new Raid drop... lvl 30 and 31 will be way more easy... they will even allow two 30+ Light gears in the new Iron Banner.

So they will facility do reach lvl30 before the new Raid.

I'm gonna wait for a discount. I don't even have Destiny installed anymore.

I recently just bought the Titanfall Season Pass for $8. That's a price I'm comfortable with.

If I'm not wrong I paid $25 on Expansion Pass.

Not bad.

Am I the only one who think 20 bucks for what is being added is a total rip off? Most of the stuff in this should be free.
