Mass Effect 2 Cerberus Network DLC

So, my favorite game of this generation has been Mass Effect 2, as the culmination of an experience from the first game. AND, happy day! There's more -free- DLC coming soon (assuming you bought the game new).

First off, there's the "Firewalker" pack, which introduces vehicular portions of the game in 5 different missions. Unlike the Mako parts from ME1, this vehicle is a hover tank. It jumps (high), moves from side-to-side and has homing missiles. With these changes, the more annoying aspects of ME1's vehicle have been smoothed over. The changes come as bittersweet in some ways, since there doesn't appear to be as much in the way of general exploration of a planet. Check it out in action here. All I've been seeing for release dates is "late March," which might imply that Bioware is going to take their time with it and release it when its ready.

Then, there's the recently announced new fancy gun, another heavy weapon to add to your arsenal. It's already been added to the game, available for download from the title screen. It seems to be an AoE electricity gun, shooting bolts of electricity out at your foes. I'm excite to use it against packs of those husks, which have been proving impossible to kill without Shockwave.

A side note: GDC is this week, but I won't really be keeping up with the news all that much on Koholint because I'm in Costa Rica until the 14th! If anything extremely big goes up, I'll post it, otherwise the little stuff will get its way on here after I get back.
