Metro 2033 Title Update a prep for DLC photo

DLC, Schmee-El-Ce. A recent remark by THQ's Huw Benyon seemed to spell doom for hopefuls that wanted more to purchase more Metro 2033 after purchasing Metro 2033, but a recent Facebook update has put the brakes on that. In a recent official Facebook update, a 4A Games representative confirmed DLC plans.

It's all in that Title Update you may or may not have updated. "There's a couple of reasons for [the Title Update] -- primarily it's to allow the game to accept DLC further down the line -- with the game now finished we have been turning our thoughts to potential DLC."

The rep went into just a wee bit of detail about what to expect. "We've got some ideas," the post reads, "but nothing we can talk about right now other than to say it won't be new SP content, 'missing levels' or anything like that. It's something we're only just starting production on."

No new metro tunnels, no problem -- especially if 4A Games adds in colorful enemies like cannibalistic nuclear-mutated rats. Think about it.

It'll prolly be some bullshit where you can buy ammo or something. Hopefully something better tho.

This game needs a patch first rather than DLC, or will the patch count as DLC?

Enemies shrugging off a headshot is ****!!!

Also, stealth is completely broken and the animations suck. NPCs glide across the ground.

Co-op? That would be nice. Horse armor? YES.

I like this. DLC should always be considered an afterthought and not another way to plunder my bank balance for the sake of an extra outfit or to unlock content that's already on the disc or to unlock content to fully understand the story which shouldve been in the game in the first place (looking at you both bioshock 2, assassins creed 2).

I don't see how they could add bonus missions/add-ons, seeing as how the game is based heavily on the book. I could definitely see a weapon pack coming out in the near future though.

Well, I can't possibly figure out what their "ideas" are. The twitter said it wouldn't be multiplayer either. So if it is neither SP or MP, that leaves things to steal our money with.

Co-Op is not happening guys, I'm just going to go ahead and say that. There was clearly no co-op in the book, and I doubt that it would translate over very well into the game.

@Brito: I haven't encountered any major bugs. just the damn thing keeps yelling at me for not having DX113D or some shit like that. Not my fault i can't update to service pack 2, damn thing won't just install. Tried everything in the book, still nothing, so instead of worrying about it, I'm saving up to get windows 7.

Other than that it should run fine. damn 3 different games playing at the same time shit. Pokemon HG, BFBC2, and this game. Damn me getting a job and being able to afford games now :(.

The game just got a patch this morning, with more on the way. Too bad the FOV is horrible; the game works brilliant for me otherwise.

For those still wavering, if atmospheric survival horror games are your thing, you NEED this game. It's a fantastic, cerebral experience.

Yeah, pretty good game, if oldskool in a lot of ways. If only you could make the guns take a little less of the screen though, eh?

More weapons or enemies would be awesome.

Count me in, I absolutely loved this game. This is the first time in quite some time where I actually wanted to play a single player FPS to its conclusion.
