I feel like there's some lost potential with this DLC. The thought of car stripping is something I would like to call essetial to this type of game, but the way that this was handled came out short.

For now you pay a fee of $1000 to strip a random car for parts (in hardcore mode). You strip the car of parts, then you can sell the parts or keep the parts (that is not trash). You seem to always profit if you dismatle the whole car.

I also seem to have low FPS in the garage you are sent to. 15 FPS on average, while I have 120+ FPS in the game otherwise. I think the new garage would need some optimization.

Now, as I've stated earlier I believe this functionality for the game comes out short. I would much rather have to buy a trashed car of my choice, from a list of a random set of cars for a certain amount of money, depending on quality. Then dismantle the car for parts and see what parts I can use (The rest of the car is trashed). This would add a little more gamble to the game, where you have to think if it's worth to buy the car or not. (Some balancing would be needed of course, and probably a way to inspect the car)

The "DLC" for now feels more like a free update than an actual expansion for the game, but for 0,99€ I can't really complain as it costs as much as a pack of noodles where I live. However, this feels a little alarming for the moneygrab scenario. Now I do have faith in that this is not the case, as then the DLC would probably be sold for 2,99€ instead. Who knows?

Would I recommend it? Well, I'm not sure. This could be a valuable extra for a new game, but there is nothing really going on with this DLC on higher levels (Since there is no "new" in-depth gameplay aspect of this DLC).
I think I would say no to my previous question, as it doesn't add much of a new experience for my save game at least.

I have played more than 0 hours, maybe the time isn't updated when I'm still in the game?

The single player was fun, lacking, but fun. It is tries to be interesting by being in space, and I appriciate that. However, this is call of duty. Every new aspect they touched still felt like it was cheaply implemented (or should I say not fleshed out to the point of satisfaction). I can't really complain about it more than that it felt dull for being a 60€ game.

I would recommend buying this game IF it was a 20€ game. I'm not going to touch the multi-player as this part has become, simply put, bad for the series.

I can really only say one thing at the current state the game is in: Please stop making games. Just please. STOP IT. As is, the game has grand issues with connectivity as well as FPS lags and stutters (I'm having a Titan X as well as better than recommended specs in everything else). But also other things that I will bring up below.

Now, you might say "Oh, a remaster of the LEGENDARY CoD 4 I NEED TO HAVE IT NAOW!", and I would agree. However this game has only turned for the worse in my opinion. Sure, you have better graphics, animations etc. but the removal of dedicated servers WITH exp support, amongst other things is just bad. Basically CoD 4 Remaster feels like any other CoD, without customization of how you want to play. It is more forced to how THEY (the developers) want you to play the game and less about how WE (the gamers, customers) want to play the game. Me for instance loved to play on servers without stun grenades (as I personally hate that kind of mechanic) and I could do that on certain servers in the good old CoD 4. Now I'm forced to play on a 12 player server with everything enabled. That brings me to another point; the player count. I loved that you could either just cramp up the whole map with lots of players, or keep it spacious with just a few players. This isn't possible anymore. They essentially removed the only really good functionality to the CoD 4 series (my opinion of course). I also believe that they have reduced the skill cap in this game compared to CoD 4 (which isn't much, but still), I'm not sure however so don't take my word for it.

It's sad to say that I won't recommend getting this game at all. I mean, not even for 50% off. The disappointment is too big. Buy CoD 4 instead if you don't already have it.

I feel like the call of duty team should focus their energy on recursive algorithms instead, as that will be just as interesting as playing their games nowadays. I mean they won't need dedicated servers nor space ships with recursive algorithms. They just need to keep it simple (which I know that they can do, as they have done it for quite some time now).

A great expansion to the trackmania series!

The car's handling feel a little bit weird, but fun nontheless!
