I'm pretty sure it doesn't come out until the 28th for Xbox. 27th was for the PS.

One would go to the PS3 Store, look under Add-Ons for Disc Games then look for Transformers: WFC.
As of 13:00HRS PST, I don't see it yet.
Balls.

Downloaded it at 6 am this morning when the site was updated. I was sitting in Major Nelson's irc channel waiting on it to go live.

Where are people hearing this rumor? I mean its irrelevant now that it is out, but still, nowhere in any of the previews did it say the 28th, at least not that I read.

Too bad my teammates didn't get the concept of turning off the waterfalls, I had to do it all by myself I srsly get irritated by the guys with 3k Power and not spending it when it's like Wave 10.
Yeah, District takes some getting used to. During the downtime between waves I went to get an over shield and my team activated the defense fields so I couldn't meet them in the room. Needless to say I was guned down by everything. Ty team
On forsaken though one team I played with managed to get to wave 15 I really like the new maps but again the Con one seems to have a bit steeper of a learning curve. Loosing rarely bothers me in this mode cause I honestly don't expect to get past wave 8 with most teams
I also love the new characters too. Nice to have some new bots to play with

Haha, I usually go for any of the invis characters, so Air Raid/Skywarp, and hopefully Arcee/Slipstream by the end of today.
However I did make it to Escalation Wave 29 playing as Bumblebee.. that was a riot.
Arcee is my main so to speak. I find not many groups choose her though. Her invis. saved my ass many a time and even helped me win waves by myself. Yeah, when it comes to Slipstream I never get her cause people are very fast to pick her. Not that it matters cause those games don't usually last more than 30 min anyway. I've only made it to wave 16. I'm sure I could go higher but the groups always disband by then
that's why i can't play the game with randoms...i usually play with commited teams....i love escalation far more than gears' horde or halo's firefight...maybe it's cuz it's transformers....i'm always up for a game of escalation if anyone on xbox wants in...

District is loads more funner and exciting than Remnant, opening up the Overshield room and Sniper Rifle room is key (well for me at least). Then to get to the Scrapmaker room is quite tricky, going to need alot of teammate cooperation in terms of spending Power.
But mostly everything boils down to your teammates being together within the same area, not running around aimlessly unless you've got a cloaking character. Ultimately you can't solo these two maps like Broken Hope... I just wish I get to see past Wave 15 in these two maps before the next DLC. I really want to try getting far in Remnant but that's probably not happenin
And yay for being in the 1300's in Escalation Leaderboards on XBL..

Blurrz wrote:After a handful of Escalation rounds with sabrigami... Forsaken is pretty easy because opening up the entire map can be done in just under 10 rounds. Due to the size of the map, killing and dieing goes both ways. My main grief about the map is that the Overshield room is so freaking far away from everything.

You mean I spelled my own tag incorrectly? Well don't I just feel like a smart cookie. I didn't even notice Must see if I can fix that.
A head set would be cool, mine came with the console. I look forward to our future co-ordination lol!

I went 14000+ with 250+ Kills and no one died till Wave 18... Would've lasted longer past Wave 19 if that Air Raid didn't always keep soloing... or the fact that he didn't pick up a Scrapmaker till Wave 14 o_O. But that was pretty cool, glad me and sabri were able to get past Wave 15 together.
That was awesome! He never got over shields either. We did amazing though. Yeah, all my previous rounds before playing with you were ridiculous. All matches where 1 guy had thousands of points and didn't open doors or anything. every match! It was getting silly, thank god you came Blurrz
I hope you get a mic soon so we can start making strategies and stuff.

Haha, yeah I think it's going to be better once I get the mic, so I don't have to shoot you to tell you that I bought you a Scrapmaker.

Blurrz wrote:Oh man.. had some good runs with Sabri and Panzer. Thought we were going to go far in District but wamow.. Blackout in Scrapmaker room left us there with no way to heal/ammo against 2 Titans and a Brute. Made it to Wave 14 in Forsaken but because we had to survive through near death in Wave 10 (might I add, pretty crazy how I was able to clear that by myself) had to unlock all the rooms, leaving our once safe local into a four way entrance of lose. Oh well, there's always next time.. <- In the 800's on Escalation Leaderboards
Yeah, that was insane but it was so much fun! my ranking is in the 2000s I think my biggest problem with this game though is my aim. I checked my stats and my hit rating is only 12-17%. I know I could do much better at PVP and stuff if I could actually hit people. Any tips?

Edit - Hey wait, your accuracy is better than mine. LOL

I think my biggest weakness is that I try to rush and save my teammates when they need to be revived without consideration of my own survival XD
Edit - Hey wait, your accuracy is better than mine. LOL
That's hard to believe lol You seem to do a bit better at it than I do. I need to improve anyway, I can only imagine it would help. In PVP I find I have no problems getting the jump on folks but I almost always loose the kill unless I get lucky or have a team that actually acts like a team. Maybe my sensitivity is too high or something.
I had a blast playing today though, we did pretty good for what we had. I think we just need to get to know the maps better and we can pwn
Posted by Blurrz on July 29th, 2010 @ 10:52pm CDT
I think we're doing pretty well together, It's always fun to play Escalation with someone you know then 3 random people. I'm sure my accuracy looks good cause I find computer enemies alot more easier to predict than human controlled ones. It's also probably cause I always go for the Null Ray in every game and love blasting enemies away... I feel that the Null Ray is perfect for Forsaken, I just need to be sure I'm around an Ammo Machine.
I should have given up on Remnant a long time ago. That map is absolute garbage in garbage. Whether you open up the right side or left side, you'll end up with Scrapmakers, but wow there are too many points of entry in each room, it's not even fair. I'm going to try to avoid that map until we formulate a good group.
District is growing on me, I just gotta remind myself that once I'm in the Scrapmaker area, get it and then get out of there and never come back. That place is death!
And Broken Hope is just rinse, lather and repeat. A very simple map with good cover and reasonable placement of weapon, ammo and health machines.

I couldn't agree more. We usually clean up pretty good provided we have 1 other that is at least decent. We just need to find those sweet spots and try to open as few doors as possible.
In district, the door to the left of the thermo mines is actually pretty good for holding down the fort. It even has energy shields that can help. Maybe next time we might try that.
Most matches I find that my team opens too many and there are just too many directions to get mauled from. Also, most of refuse to stay together and cover each other. I have fun and learn things regardless though. Just gotta get you a mic

Yep yep, that was me!
I finally got to Wave 22 on Broken Hope, but I've peaked at wave 8 or so in Remnant. Why is Remnant so ridiculously hard?? Why do people split up when they should stay together??

Tell me about it! The farthest I've gone is Wave 14 in Remnant, it's a map that requires ALOT of teamwork in order to be successful.
