Don't you think it's strange there has been ZERO acknowledgement of the DECIMATION MAP PACK from Crytek themselves on their own website and forum?
Look at the EA Crysis 2 website instead and you will see it advertised as expected: http://www.ea.com/crysis-2/blog/dlc-decimation
Where's that joker-bot Cry-Adam lately? Why isn't he answering questions about the new DLC? Why hasn't his incompetent arse dropped in to inform buyers of the DLC of how the content has been worked into matchmaking?
I'll tell you why: it's because EA has over-ruled CRYTEK and gone ahead and released the DLC ahead of the agreed and pre-determined time in order to minimise their losses and maximise their margins.
Clearly, Crytek disagreed with this move - hence the radio silence ever since. The main page still advertising the RETALIATION MAP PACK is proof of this. Crytek want nothing to do with the fallout this will obviously cause; especially on their precious little garbage message board; the place where conmen masquerade as "support".
The biggest loser in all this is those who buy the new (hastily released) DLC: Crysis 2 is abandoned by its developer - expect no further support for the game. EA have taken your money and ran. Damage limitation is the name of the game and purchasers are the victims.
Do not buy the DECIMATION MAP PACK.
The countdown to the deletion of this post begins... Now.
