Are you sure that should say "Two new PDA levels?"

Also, I tried this out this morning and the new levels are pretty cool. I got to try one of the new characters and got one of the new achievements, too.

The price is fair and I was willing to pay it.

250 MP = US$3.12. If that's too expensive for two characters, two awesome levels, and two more achievements, then you need to get a job. If you haven't played the Pillaged Village level, you're missing out.

250 points is certainly too much for 2 characters & levels...I mean it's an arcade game not a retail one with proper 3D engine and big levels

If true that's pretty interesting. I suppose they would have some power like temporary banning for disruptive behaviour or something (TIME OUT!), but in that instance I'd say his reaction was fairly extreme. If he -was- this guy, and if the victim was completely telling the truth (working on House Principles), then it's at least worth digging around to find something juicy.

@KIDamazin

I don't know. I wasn't involved. I just found it interesting and thought I'd see if the Nelsonator could shed some light.

Well new characters without new weapons is pointless, so they shouldn't have bothered.

REGARDGING NEW WEAPONS

- New weapons can never be added, it wasn't worked into the game. This is not a lie it is 100% true and has been stated by the Small Arms developers multiple times on their forms

62c isnt a big deal, but if every piece of content is overpriced it soon adds up! i just think that content should have a unified pricing structure, because theyre just gonna do the same again in a month, then you will have paid like 500 points for the 4 new achievments, characters and levels, and thats quite a lot, more than 50% the cost of the whole game. i think they should make it so it cant be more than 400 for all your new content!
