DLC for pre-orders?

Of course you can play with others, but yea probably not use those planes with others who dont have them, but they might be on disc already and that the download only UNLOCKS the planes.

Happens with other games who have their DLC in there updates already so you can still play with others who dont have it

Thanks. Just wanted to be sure.

There are many games where you can't connect with people who don't have the DLC. Just depends on if the DLC is really downloaded or not.

Since the planes were held back before the game went gold they are probably on the disc already. Anton mentioned bringing out patches and DLC at the same time, so probably any aircraft would come in the patch and any new maps in the DLC itself.

why did Australia miss out on the preorder codes!!!!!! we cant connect to many servers due to incompatible versions......

False.

No console game includes DLC files in updates/patches.


If you do not have the correct and same files as the host you cannot enter their server. You would not be able to 'SEE' the aircraft if you did not have the models on your console. The ONLY game where you can enter a server without the relevant files is Forza 2 and instead of cars you see black boxes.

Your only hope is that they already exist on the disc, so then you will have the files and will be able to enter, but this means for you to fly them you will have to pay extra for content already on the disc, like EA's 108k unlock keys.

Anton really need to make clear what happens to those that don't pre-order from that particular shop in regard to how this is handled online. Is content on the disc being held back for more money, or will you have to buy the content to be able to enter servers with a host that does have it.

Well that's totally wrong for a start, I can quote many games with DLC that are included in patches and updates and you only have to purchase the unlock. It's the sensible way to do it.

Agreed. Good example would be Battlefield Bad Company. The ps3 got a patch that included trophies as well as 4 new maps for free. Codw@w also gave us a patch that included a free map. And Socom will give us some free dlc in patch 1.6 even though that game sucks. Maybe on xbox you still have to download things from the store, but on playstation it usually comes in a patch.

well i preordered it from game, got it a day before release but they havent emailed me my dlc code.

I pre-ordered it from Game too and have had no code emailed to me. No reply when I emailed Game either.
