Anyone else a little disappointed with the DLC? I paid $10 for this, and it doesn't appear to be as in-depth as was advertised. I can't find Sideswipe anywhere as a playable character, and half of the character skins only work on certain levels. I've beaten the game but it doesn't allow me to replay as all of the new characters for some reason.

So far I'd say the DLC is a waste of money. It's just not worth the hassle.

Apparently you can only use the characters in certain missions. For example, every mission you can use Iron Hide in, you can also use Sideswipe.

 

[0neDisturbedSOB]

That's pretty lame. I've completed the game, yet only certain maps have a free roam option. Not really worth the money in my opinion.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Is this ten bucks yet?

 

[0neDisturbedSOB]

on PSN it's $9.99

The character packs were intended for online use. You can use them in offline modes but i think there are some restrictions.

 

[0neDisturbedSOB]

The only one that was restricted to online only is Jetfire. The rest were listed as "new playable characters for story mode."

 

[Nathan]

Here's a video that shows how the new characters play, it's not too in-depth though.

I got the DLC, and although it sux that I can't pick all the new characters in every MP games I play, and they are also resticted in some single-player campaign, it's still worth the money, since I get to play the G1 Prime/Meg/SS, and esp. Sideswipe. Hopefully this DLC will be successful enough for them to make more; I want Barricade and Brawl!

That annoyed the hell out of me too. But I've found out that you can pick whoever you want when you're in the lobby. If you just join a game, you can only pick the characters that have been chosen at the beginning by other players. So let's say everyone in the game only picked Bumblebee, when you join the match later, Bumblebee is your only option.

I havent picked the DLC up yet, i just havent had a desire to take this game online let alone play the SP. I think ill pick it up later in the week tho. Hows the online community? Still sucky?

 

[Nathan]

I honestly can't answer that. I've been so lazy this month, I have barely played anything. I just today started playing the game again and I've only stuck to SP today, because my skills went to hell. But I know you'll always find someone to play and that won't quit on the TFW2005 boards.

yea i need to head over there once i download the character pack.

 

[Storm22]

Jazz and Soundwave are the best!!

 

[Nathan]

I suck so horribly at the game. I think I got like 15 kills in 2 hours.

 

[Raiden]

Jazz and Soundwave are the best!!

Soundwave is hard to use effectively imo, but maybe I just play him wrong.

 

[Nathan]

I'm being told he's best used as a support character. Soundwave is primarily a team player.

The tips I got.

Sure (get ready for some puns):

1. Loners will be shot on sight

Don't use Soundwave as a gun-ho character. It's not his style. His weapons will slow enemies down, but they aren't powerful enough to allow you to take on a whole team with little worry.

2. There's strength in numbers

Keep close to your teammates. This is where Soundwave can shine. Since his weapons can slow people down, it's best to exploit this perk while your with a teammate or two. Shoot at a foe a couple of times to slow them down, then let your team finish them off.

3. You'll get by with a little help from your friends

Your AoE pods are your trump cards. They don't only cause respectable damage, but they can also be used as distractions.

-Laserbeak (Vehicle-deployed AoE pod): The best of the two. Laserbeak is deployed in vehicle mode and once out will rain little lasers of death on your enemies while revealing their locations. It's best to unleash him high up in the air. As high as you can go. The constant attacks will cause one or two of your enemies to focus on destroying Laserbeak before your team. This is a good chance to attack.

-Rumble (Robot-deployed AoE pod): This one's a bit trickier to strategically place. When deployed, Rumble will continuously pound the ground, sending a shockwave out a certain distance that will both damage and slow down opponents. Try not to deply him in open areas. It makes him an easy target and easier to avoid. It's best to put him in tighter areas that are traveled alot. It'll make him harder to avoid. Also hide him around corners. Once the enemy finds out where he is, it'll be too late to avoid him.

So i played a couple of really good matches not long ago. Played for about an hour to an hour and a half and the whole time the matches were full and people were talking back and forth. Great stuff. Also, i love Sideswipe, hes a fun character.

 

[Nathan]

So, is anyone still playing this? With the 3rd Movie in theaters, I got in the mood for a bit of Transformers action again. I'm not going to watch it though and I doubt I'll buy the movie-tie in unless the price drops. And I've heard that the gameplay is better in ROTF anyway.

Played some online matches again and was surprised to see that there are still more than enough people playing it to have full matches.

Yea i bought the game and its pretty cool, but i still prefer the online for RotF to be honest. I played it a week or so ago and, like you, noticed there are still plenty of people playing it. Im prob gonna jump back on it considering i just saw the new film(which kicked ass) and feel like whoopin ass as a giant robot. Ill give Dark of the Moon another chance, but when i last played it, i didnt find it very fun online.

I played Dark of the Moon (review in my signature), and my advice to anyone looking for a transformers game is to spend their money on last year's War for Cybertron instead.

 

[Nathan]

My copy of War for Cybertron has been collecting dust for a while. Maybe I should get back into it. Too bad it doesn't have some Grindor like Transformer. I love using him in ROTF.

Yea i do too. He was easily my fav Decepticon to use.

The only problem with WfC is that you are forced to use the awful 80's type designs. As Amy from Futurama once said, "Pukeatronic".
