    Re: "Free DLC" isn't that just a patch?

    Oh for God's sake, who cares? There's actual, major issues with this game that are preventing me and other people from playing it, and we're really bitching about the semantics of whether or not something should be considered a patch or DLC? Stop whining about things that don't matter.

    Re: "Free DLC" isn't that just a patch?

    Lets not turn this thread into some kind of 'who suffers more' olympics, shall we? Its pretty irrelevant, purposeless, and gets us nowhere. We as humans are fully capable of caring about more than one thing simultaneously.

    To the OP : the 'free dlc' will include more than just bug fixes - new maps, weapons, clothing, and other such items which would traditionally be packed into a purchasable dlc or expansion in other games.

    Re: "Free DLC" isn't that just a patch?

    Maps and fixes used to come in patches, and they were for free. Nice to see that Monolith is at least going to give us something that should be free for free.

    I'm sick of paying $15 for maps. If Monolith's DLC continues to include more than just maps I may actually buy some DLC for once. The fact that we get this one for free may just persuade me to buy future GCI DLC, assuming that each DLC includes as much or more than this one.

    We used to call DLC expansion packs, and they were actually worth paying for.

    As for this topic I'm not sure what the OP is trying to say, it's not rare at all to see new content for games released alongside a patch. And I'm sure that the patch will apply even for those who don't get the DLC (although seeing as it's free, why wouldn't you?).

    And don't be silly, matchmaking is a complete joke right now. Yes, it works for some people, but for most of us it's just about as bad as actual physical pain.

    As just as TF2 would put it, free update!

    Really, they are not the first developers to name these updates as "free dlc". In my opinion, its an update, not a dlc.

    Re: "Free DLC" isn't that just a patch?

    I always thought of DLC as "optional" to install if I want to. And patches to be mandatory. Indeed when they mix up patch contents as matchmaking fixes with content and just call it DLC = I expect it to be downloadable from the PS Store and not installed as a patch. But yeah, it looks better to release some "FREE" DLC instead of a "FREE" PATCH! But yeah, whatever rolls their socks I suppose works. I'm not saying the way it worked before is best, I'm all for change if introduced to it in baby steps
