This seriously pisses me off when they announce an expansion pack a few weeks after the game is released, meaning the initial game gets neglected, b*stards.

You didn't figure that out already?

Pretty obvious to me :p

I wouldn't be off about it coming so soon, it'll be a few months mate. That was just an announcement. I'm wondering how much it'll cost for a PC expansion on XBLM since it's usually like $30.

Also note that the PC version came out back in March so it's been 4 months for that one.

You're right, but I doubt that stuff adds up to more then $5 or $10..

This is good news for me. I agree that it's bad if a game gets a update just weeks after it's released (should be a couple months) but it's still good. More achievements plz!

No you guys don't understand, Like Link pointed out, its the Expansion for the PC Version which has been out for a couple months now.

Yes we realised that (least I did), but this will lead to a upgrade to the 360 version. As there is only 705 gamerpoints in total for the game so far. It will surely get larger next update.

Because I was agreeing with what Kalou said in his post.

Uh.. But.. If you say it should be a couple months, and you supposedly already realized that it, in fact, was a couple months since the PC release date, then.....

There is 3 maps coming to xblmp soon..it says so in the guide. The maps are going to be 700mp for all 3.

The names of the maps are Agonarth, Umbar and Weathertop.

I also think that these will not fill the 295points missing but there will be loads more. I believe lot of dev's will not give the 1000points straight away now.

Cya's

Look whatever I honestly don't care.

3 maps for 700 MP!!!! When there's already a great selection of maps to choose from I hardly see the need to spend £6+ on a few more. I don't see myself buying that update. (:/)

I just got an email from EA to say the maps are on the MarketPlace now...only they're not yet :s

Could be on the US MarketPlace if someone wants to check?

I dont think the Witch King expansion pack is coming to the 360

seems like a PC only pack...but I could be wrong

seems like it's out now, but i'm a wee bit annoyed that we have to pay 700MP when you could get them for free if you pre-ordered BFME2 through Gamestop.. they should've just made us wait a month and then given it to us for free or maybe 200 MS points

700MP is kind of high for 3 maps anyway

I'll still buy them though, this game rocks

Swifty

the map pack released isnt an expansion pack simply a map pack

the witch king expansion pack will come with like a whole new storyline you can play and also a whole new army to choose...

it will be interesting to see if they cover all 300 GS with one expansion or wait to do 2 of them

yeah swifty, i know that :)

Seeeeeeeeeee.

People are still going to pay the stupidly high price, so EA will continue to rip us off. Fight back by not purchasing it people!

I.. wish.. I... could!

Fighting.. urge.. not.. working ahhhh must buy! too bad I don't have 700 MS points

Ok ok, I won't buy it unless they drop the price to 500 or less

Way too go. :D

It's not as if we're stuck for choice, there is a very good choice of variety in maps anyway.

Really burnt that I didn't just preorder it from Gamestop now :(

15 maps isn't bad for an RTS, but I've seen ones with way more

JJBDude
01/Aug/06, 10:24 AM
Only 15? Feels like there is more.

linkofhyrule
01/Aug/06, 10:25 AM
well I haven't actually checked in game but I read reviews and I heard that number more then a couple times

anyone have any overlay pictures of these new maps?
