All in all this pack has shaken up the online play quite a bit and is balanced as far as Diehard GameFAN can tell. The ins and outs of each new bot and how they work with the pre-existing ones hasn't quite been figured out yet. As far as single player goes, it is very nice to have some more options in the campaign mode and the new guys perform pretty admirably there, some not as well as they do in multiplayer but that's a different play form entirely. If you do want to stay competitive, this is something to get, but not everyone is going to need it. The new maps are all pretty awesome and feel much bigger than some of the other multiplayer maps
