[quote name='CaptainKirk']I agree...

...it was a horrible marketing practice to draw attention to the DLC they released around the same time...

...they basically killed any chance of a sequel because no one respects them now[/QUOTE]

Or, you know, it was likely Microsoft's problem because they delay about everything that gets released. Same thing happened with The Sacrifice DLC for L4D2.

Studio announces it, sends it to Microsoft. Microsoft sits on it for like a week. Everyone gets mad at the studios when really, it's as much or more Microsoft's fault.

And you know, we as fans don't help in general. We expect assloads of information, updates, etc. and are used to getting things way quicker than we did in say the 80's or 90's.

Or the fact that THQ closed the studio !!

[quote name='Outrun9']Free Homefront premium theme its up!

Yeah thanks for the post I hounded the site everyday except yesterday

Due to UK law requiring employers to give a 60 day warning before layoffs, THQ says that THQ Warrington
employees' warning "starts today ... and it is longer than 30 days." Given that, it's "not an immediate closure,
" but "a notification process leading to closure" for the UK-based studio.
^^^
That sucks, i knew there would be a good reason. fyi the theme is 15mb and badass so get it!!!

Got it. It's awesome. Off topic, I'm not sure why the game had bad or at least lukewarm reviews. I played the demo and it seemed fun enough. Love that APC. :whistle2:D

Anyway, carry on with the free stuff. :whistle2:D

No, helluvagood was referring to the posting of said free stuff and not ongoing discussions. It just make it difficult to find anything that has been posted that actually belongs in the thread.

Sorry for the rant, but this happens way too often ... my apologies if anyone takes any offense, but I actually feel bad for the mod(s) that have to come on to this thread and clear out pages of chatter.

PS: Mods, if you're here, please delete this post as well. :D
 
yes mods if you are here like little angels next to my dying grandma please delete this post also. i have learned the folly of my ways and will no longer post chatter

[quote name='BlazeP']^ That's only the compatibility pack, meaning you can play with someone who already has those skins. It's not free skins...[/QUOTE]
Actually all the compatibility packs will have 2 free skins for everyone to enjoy.

very nice. Something FREE for a change :applause:
 
[quote name='Solid Scarecrow']regarding previous posts- click on the klondike window on the xbox dash and play a crappy rock em sock em robots game.[/QUOTE]
Looking for it, What section is it in?
 
I've also read around that one of the compatibility packs (or well, the only one?) would have gotten you (or still can, not sure) the playable Skarlet for free. It was a glitch, so I'm not sure if it was patched or not - so for those who have Mortal Kombat, I would check~

I don't own the game, so I cannot confirm or not. But threads all over GameFAQs talked about how they've gotten Skarlet for free through the compatibility pack.​
