The Hammerhead assault vehicle is coming to the Cerberus Network in late March!

Free to all Cerberus Network members, the Firewalker pack includes 5 all new missions featuring the Hammerhead. Hovering over the battlefield at up to 120 kilometeres per hour, the Hammerhead also boasts a guided missile system ensuring accuracy even during aggressive maneuvering.

I'm game. God I love Bioware, first they give us this brilliant game then they throw DLC at us, for free! If they keep this up they'll give of the dangerous impression that they're actually game developers who cares about their fan base.

If anything, Dragon Age's DLC's shown they actually don't give a damn, like pretty much any other company.

What was so bad about it? I wouldn't know as I didn't buy the game.

Two out of the 3 DLC's are rubbish.
Warden's Keep and Return to Ostagar both last 20 to 35 minutes, offer nothing of interest, except for a cheap retcon in RtO. 8€ for 1H of content is not really my view of caring about their fan base.

Then, there's how RtO's release was handled by Bioware. The DLC is delayed several times (which ain't a problem), appears on the downloadable content list, then disappear because it was bugged. People get mad, because they bought the DLC in good faith, which in turn made the game go FUBAR. When faced with this, Bioware decides to close all topics about RtO on its social website and to ban users who complained. Two weeks later, the DLC is released for Xbox360 and PC, and PS3 users get no news, until RtO was finally released for them a few days ago.

It says that the hammerhead isn't integrated into the regular missions but has five separate missions...which might have been disappointing had the DLC not been free......I appreciate this gesture on EA part.

Edit:
Ofcourse come to think of it, there wasn't any place in the original missions where they could've integrated the hammerhead was there.....

Really? They did that on Social network forums?
But yeah RtO can't be called a success exactly.

As for Hammerhead, well there were vehicle controls already in ME2 so it was expected. And honestly, I'm surprised that we have five missions. Thought they'd only make 1 or 2.

Selfishly speaking, I hope Dragon Age continues to be neglected in favor of Mass Effect. I simply cannot understand how one can even enjoy the former and it seems so entirely different than the latter. Different strokes for different folks I guess, but I'm surprised my tastes are so out of the mainstream for that single game.
