Agreed. If I wan't already entitled to it for free I would grap the bundle in a heartbeat. Buying the map without the assets seems silly anyway.

 

Agreed, bundle is the only way to go in my book!

Don't have any problems with the price, business model, quality costs money. And like someone said, MP user base is so small, that this won't really make a difference in "fragmenting" the community. I'm sure eventually,most will get the bundle when they see the work ED has put into this.

 

The price isn't really that much, seriously, for the amount of time we spend in this simulator. A lot of people pay double that in a couple of hours on a saturday night.

 

The trailers looks great, models very very good, I do hope ED doesn't forget to work on effects thought.

Explosions are near the top of the list for sure... other effects are certainly queued up. Its just getting them the best they can be with the new engine.

I have to voice my concern over the "assets pack" I hope ED rethinks this, it is not a good idea.

 

I understand why they have decided to do it, however it will back fire :noexpression:

 

The price of the map alone will already annoy people and if they see that the assets are separate!

 

UPDATE!

Great for you guys to release the information to us and I can hope ww2 map and content release will be coming very soon.

 

I have to agree with David (and others) regarding the split in ww2 map and ww2 AI untis being separate DLC. I know none of this is cheap to produce and can sort of see the logic behind it but it seems like a bad idea to split like this epsecially the possible impact for the multiplayer community.

 

I'm also confused as it was said before that the map would include ww2 peroid units but now they will be a separate DLC. I'm not effected by this as I backed the kickstarter and have the map and units coming but think of those who had bought for example the Spitfire last week for $50 and expected to be able to buy the ww2 map with units for the same price as Nevada ($50) but now will be expected to spend more.

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm really pleased to be getting the new content but wanted to voice my views. Thanks.

The cost of quality units was enough that it had to be separated out. Its just the way it is. ED is producing AI units way better than what some sims offer for their flyable aircraft... its not cheap, they need to keep the lights on, I go to work and get paid for what I do. ED should to.

Obviously not as it's being offered as a bundle for $60.

its like anything in life, quality costs money. you wouldn't expect to buy a Porsche for the price of a robin reliant.

It bafles me but apparently a few do...

 

Anyway, great trailer GA! Really highlights the work put into the map and units :thumbup:

My hat to you ED, stunning work yet again

Im just gonna dip my toes in this 'price / split ' discussion.

To me its a no brainer. 60 bucks for the bundle, and I will spent what, 1000 hours in there? Maybe more. Quite a long life span in this. So thats 6 cents per hour of great entertainment. Oh Im in.

I was prepared to be up in arms over the AI assets costing extra after seeing some posts here, but considering Normandy+assets is the same price as NTTR, I'm not sure what the fuss is about.

Look guys, my money is important to me as well. I have a family, I just bought a house in one of the most expensive markets in North America. So I understand we dont want to part with it when we dont have to. But the quality and effort going into these things is going to be worth it. DLCs are just the way things happen nowadays... I dont have many games anymore that I havent spent extra on... ask my wife... she loves it... not.

 

So before we go off the rails, let it soak in, look at that list, and see what ED is giving you, then decide.

 

As a side note, if you want to post right away, remember we have rules, you are allowed an opinion, but you are not allowed to break the rules expressing that opinion. Calling people names or throwing a tantrum wasnt acceptable in kindergarten and its not acceptable here.

Will there be an additional DLC available later to improve the damage modeling? I'd gladly pay 60$ for that! It would be the perfect addition to the WWII scenario.

Of course users without that DLC shouldn't be able to join servers with the DLC enabled, because that would be unfair.

 

I see real potential there. What about another asset DLC with AI planes for dogfighting with improved AI?

I'm trying to get my friends into DCS, Normandy should be great i won't have to come up with contrived mission briefings about how all air combat occurs over Georgia, maybe i can make a cold war battle of Britain scenario :thumbup:. I hope there is a way to modernize the airfields for contemporary aircraft and missions. There's no way i can convince my friends to pay $30 each for AI units :(.

Then buy the bundle pack when in pre-purchase, which is less than the cost of the Nevada map, and basically includes the Assets Pack for free.
