This seems like it will be well worth getting. The maps alone would be worth it alone, never mind two of the better characters of the game. I can't wait to see some cool footage on how they are incorporated. I'm also pleased to see that they issued usage of the PSNwallet and Pay-Pal functionality. It's alot more self assuring buying a PSNstore card than having even more companies have your personal data.
This title really sets the standard for online DLC and community functionality. If more developers followed this path of consecutive updates and activities they would be seeing alot more players on there server for long lengths of time. I stopped playing this title since the release of Socom Confrontation and I now belive I'll be returning for this new update.
I really hope more shooter titles really understand the importance of being there for the players, and also thinking that by skipping the manufacturing process and cutting out the middle man they can make greater profits off DLC than expected.

I have over 1200 hours of MGO over the last 7 months. I love the game and I love all the new expansion packs.
It's also nice to see finally Konami is doing something about all the cheater's. Which as we know all on line games have there fair share of. But it is just truly disappointing to sit there and play with these low life's everyday. As they simply do not care about the integrity of the game. First the glitchers and now it's lag users.
The only other super huge big issue with this game is it's god awful lag issue. Be it other player's or this region lock some have talked about being the issue of the huge game lag. This needs to be addressed fast ( if possible ). I spent a great deal of time and money trying to make sure it wasn't on my end. Had Comcast come to my home 5 times. Run a new line from the house to the street hub. I got a new hi-tech gaming router, up graded to Comcasts 22mpbs cable package. I hardwired both my PS3's and guess what? The game runs no different at all. Still shot behind walls, watching player's flash all over the map. With some looking like they just fell off a building. Only to reappear back up on top of the building, etc,etc. The game just does not run smooth at all period.
Oh and the community for the most part on MGO just sucks, lol. A bunch of totally immature kids acting well. Like kids, lol. I just mute and mute and mute them all. Both their mic's and their text messages. But sure like I said before. Another issue all on line games have as well. But team stacking, host leaving just before the games end is something you deal with every single day.
edit Oh and... I try and not let all this negative stop me from enjoying the game. As I'm a super die-hard 10 year vet of the MGS series. Just love anything MGS.

I hear you on the lag issues, it really seems to effect every shooter title I play. MGO was actually one of the better games as far as lag issues went. For me most of there lag issues happened during survival matches, which were the most important ones for me and my friends. That alone lead me towards other titles do to the dissatisfaction I was receiving every planed out survival weekend.
I belive that when creating these servers for online shooters that they should incorporate a connection speed type lobbying system that will only allow players with a bandwidth equal or higher to the particular lobby of choice. Another good addition to that type of lobbying system would be a bandwidth enforcement, therefore kicking players out of lobbies that there bandwidth no longer is to that lobby's bandwidth limitations. Therefore eliminating people with laggy connections and lag switchers alike.
I'd have to say MGO does offer good service and thats whats bringing me to purchase this DLC.
