    And yet another one coming out that will suck the money out of people by making us pay for things that SHOULD be already included. Making players pay for standard weapons, add-ons and so forth seems to be the new trend these days. Instead of releasing full games anymore, now companies are releasing a basic engine and you have to buy anything to make it work. I have no problem paying for DLC's and add-ons when they HAVE SUBSTANCE. I.E. special features, additional story line and missions, major enhancements or very specialized equipment. But I have started pulling back from buying, playing or paying for these kind of games anymore because I am not liking this new trend. If people continue to support this, then how far will this go? I mean think about it.. You pay to play the game. Then it costs you say $20 to buy a basic weapons and ammo pack for example. Then you want to add new sensors and new this and new that all at $20 a pop in the game. And suddenly a month into this awesome new game, instead of paying $14.95 a month to play, now you have paid $200, $300, $400 or MORE just to get the items and features that only a couple years ago would have been part of the base game!! No way am I supporting this.. even though an avid Battletech player AND in fact one that worked on the franchise in the late 80's and 90's in both hardware and software .. I just cannot see doing this again every time a new 'awesome' game comes out.. besides I just cannot afford it! I have learned my lesson about this with Star Trek Online and EVE. This new trend is bull crap and gamers need to wake up and smell the caffeine before this gets way out of control.
