Don't be so self centered, if content is good, it shouldn't need achievements, especially if it is free.

Yes it is trueachievements.com, and yes it is annoying the dlc comes without achievements, but at the same time it's free. It's cost them money to make, and it's cost them money to release. They are making no profit in return from it. I can see why they don't want to have to spend even more to add 3 achievements for 50 or so gamerscore. People are saying the game was fairly expensive at $15. Yes, that is expensive for an ARCADE TITLE. lets face it, most retail games are 4-5x that price new. Yes the game only had a fifth of the gamerscore of retail prices, but achievements aren't the sole make or break of the game, it wasn't designed around them, which is a good thing in my opinion.

	Wow, Moe be rollin along the trollin' game tonight. Choo-choo! connectmeplease said:Uber Games are starting to have a solid rep of a"game company for gamers"... Lets hope they keep this kind of stuff up.It's like they're trying to take that title away from Valve. If they can release this DLC and it not be buggy / glitched then they're definitely taking the console part of Valves crown away. Team Fortress 2 on the consoles is just a pale shade of the PC version and I'd like to see MNC take on that crown.
