"Same Procedure as last Update, Ma'am?"

"Same Procedure as EVERY Update, James."

And with this new lame photo mode you can bet your *** that you'll have a ton of emotes. Probably 70% will be crap you will have to burn through to get to the 30% of the stuff that might be cool. Cue the R6 icons....

[KunninPlanz]

-I would advise they lower the # of "new" items listed if 90% of those items are poses or emotes.... oh and adding useless vehicles doesnt count either (posted before Santa Blanca Wheelbarrow revealed as an unlock)

The "new" items will be existing items from packs, stripped down to be sold individually. :P

Oh, and the theme is My Little Pony.

Positive- Looking forward to seeing the continuation of this Skeltech story, and all that goes along with it. Also to see if my prediction of a Hitman crossover is correct.

Positive- Glad we are getting community requested items in a pack that is given to season pass holders.

Negative- 90 new items in the store is way too much. I get that a major way video games make their money these days is through micro-transactions. However, 90 items is way too many. Especially if we have, as we have in the past, desired items bundled into packs with undesired items.

Call me a negative pessimist if you would but if this can be considered an announcement, I rather just NOT get one... blanket statement (Check), vague wording (Check), kill them with nothing (Check)... one thing is for sure, they have us talking about it and you know what they say about hyping **** up even if it does not mean anything.

PvE Mission and Rewards: Special Operation 3 will contain a free PvE mission and other rewards.

I am sorry but, did we NOT KNOW this already? I mean, who here didn't know that SO3 would contain a free PvE Mission?

Oh, I am sorry, I forgot that it will bring "other rewards" as well... my apologies

If this does not give you a hard on I don't know what will

[AI BLUEFOX]

The main purpose of this announcement was to confirm the date. Same process as usual with the content specifics to be announced ... "soon"

[GiveMeTactical]

So, if that was the main purpose why waste time with all that other garbage? for that matter, why waste time and money announcing that in 2 weeks you will announce... Nothing!

Again, the masses and the casuals are gone, perhaps 1 or 2 are left, the rest is us, those that think with our brain and we don't need to be handled or grabbed by the hand... there is no need to insult us.

[Ghost-Ami]

It would be totes fab if a community rep could give us a breakdown on that new item pool.

Knowing just how many items will be socials will help me manage my expectations better.

[Kane_sg]

I'm super excited to see what people do with it.

Well, you bet I do. It's really late for non Ansel users, but I'll hit the game back and fill my HDD with lots of screenshots.

I hope any kind of actions can be frozen/paused in single player though.

I really really REALLY want this update to be amazing, and have the season pass pack be worth my money, but I am scared. There are so many great things that Ubisoft can do to improve the prestige economy... IE: not making every crate have duplicates (it would be nice to actually make progress unlocking all the gear), but again, they might not make it any better. They could add 90 new awesome pieces of gear, but again, I am scared for this. If the 90 new items can be obtained by prestige crates with no dups, this sounds great! Or even if you can obtain the items with prestige credits. I feel like this is the update that really makes or breaks this awesome, misdirected, fun, micro transaction infested game.

I don't want Ubisoft to push out a crappy update, but I don't know if I have much faith in them producing a fix-it-all update.
