It's a very pretty disc, I have to say. Dunno what that bloke's doing running at a Blitz shield but YORI amirite?
So yes, like many free/low cost digital download games, GRP has released it's own physical copy, but unlike the likes of Super Meat Boy/any indie title on Steam, I don't think it's really worth it. For the price of £15/$20 you get a free-to-play game, a forgettable soundtrack and 48 pages of artwork. While I imagine some of the art will be pretty it's worth remembering it's concept art for a dark gritty shooter, so I personally reckon it's unlikely to make anyone go 'wow'. Next up is HOLY SHIT IN GAME ITEMS. A month of 50% EXP/AC boost, a stupid number of grenades, magnum ammo and storage space. Then there are the weapons, ranging from T1 (the old T3, Sentinel, Mk16 etc) to T3 (NS2K, MSR, etc), which I find quite odd. Some of these weapons are just plain better than others- MSR > Sentinel, NS2000 > PM5 and so on. So I can't really see the point in packing in all of these weapons when half of them are completely redundant. There's also MK1 squad support things, yay.

And one last thing:

Yes, a lovely community of hackers and people complaining about the game. Sounds like paradise

 moneygrabbing dirtbags :') Indeed not worth a thing. As for the pick of weapons, some of those were the weapons I used from the start until I was LVL 30 (PP-19, Sentinel SR1 and some I still use (NS2000)) so yeah, this pack is plenty to keep someone from having to buy any new weapons for a considerable amount of time

Squad Support (bla) Mk.I

Arent those the ones that you get when you start the game?

Nah, you don't start the game with them. You have to pay out first >.> I'm quite surprised to see MK2 or maybe even MK3 devices aren't in this since they're actually worth something and they are a right bitch to get :/

EDIT: Just realised what I said. They're worth something and Ubisoft could be able to milk more from you.
