Is Full MP campaign going to be free

[Sir Nicholas Altman]

I just realized that full MP campaign is going to be a DLC. Cause in DLC properties it says it like any retail purchase and it has beem emphesised that BETA is free so my guess full one is not going to be free.

So I vote no.

[Pink Beard]

I say free. A promise is a promise.

[Kudro]

This is CA we're talking about here.

unfortunately...

Well, I don't think CA's gonna make them free

[tabacila]

That's....what do they call it?...sarcasm?


I vote a big NO.

Do you have a quote for their promise of a free FULL MPC?

[gilmeiri1]

yep...

I'm not sure where these rumours about it costing about money are coming from, the MP campaign for Empire is beta, it is free and it will remain free.

[burden010]

As in the BETA will remain free? Forgive my cynicism.

[Chyeaaaa111]

yep...

Like this guy posted, Jack Lusted said it, therefore it will be free

As in the MPC for Empire is beta, that is all that was ever planned and it is free.

Hi Jack.

Will there ever be a Full MP campaign for ETW?

[burden010]

So the MPC will never come out of BETA? Or if it does, will the full version remain free?

I wasn't aware that CA was releasing a "full"/complete MP campaign. I was under the impression that the beta was an experiment for the sole purpose of implementing it into future titles.

[Verminaard]

I think Buffalo hit the nail there, i never heard about a full non-beta MP campaign. Maybe it will come in Napoleon total war, if not initial release perhaps as a DLC.

well they advertised it was going to be in ETW at release totally overhyped. but they promised it was in the full game but they scraped it a day or two before release

From my recollection, all CA said was that they would release an MP campaign a month or so after Empire Total War was released. Obviously that never happened but the point is that they never intended or promised it would be implemented in the retail version. I think you people who enjoy this multiplayer stuff should be happy that you got anything after all this. You should start focusing on Napoleon because that is the game that will more likely than not have a fuller MP campaign at this juncture.

You are kidding, right? We should be happy that the only look-in we get to a Multiplayer campaign is a beta, but to enjoy the actuall full Multiplayer Campaign, we should hand over more money and buy Napolean? Why should we just be happy that we get anything? Especially considering that we've already been told there will be no further major support for Empire, which is what I would classify as updates or 'full release' to the MPC beta.

Hasn't this been the sales pitch for N:TW? "You were disappointed by Empire, we know. We know it wasn't that great. Well, if you want to play the real game where everything will totally work, then you should definately buy Empire!"

No I'm not kidding. After about 9 months since the release you are lucky you got anything at all. People renege on what they say all the time, why should CA be any different. Did they specifically put the word "promise" in their statements? You don't know what complications arose when they were developing MP or the game.

And I don't recall that ever being their sales pitch. The sales pitch I remember from Brigden is that Napoleon will be "bigger, better, grander, more tactical and more strategic than Empire ever was". And because Napoleon was an era in and of itself, to properly give it the attention it deserves, a separate game was developed for it. How do you know the same issues and bugs wont be present in this new installment? Are you assuming there wont be? Brigden's statement sounds a lot like the statements CA was putting out when Empire was going to be released. I wouldn't be surprised if it's more of the same...not like I'm disappointed by that.

[Sir Winston Churchill]

Yes, or at least it should be. If it isn't there won't be very many people that are happy.

CA and Sega have made us pay for everything else, why not this?
