I dont think they have really said anything about what exactly will be able to be downloaded yet only the game will be one of the first to utilize the HDD for downloadable content.... If i had to speculate i would say probably new maps and what nor.....

Guys I did see an article about this, it mainly affects the single player game, but supposedly will allow map changes and character changes for the online game also. I will try and find the article and link to it.
Has anyone figured out the "locked" officer character in the beta game? Is it based on rank, whereas you start as a grunt and when you "earn" the officer status (and as long as you hold that status) the officer "unlocks"? |

Don't know Doc. I was trying to figure out how to unlock these characters, but I think it's just to fire you up about the full version.

I was informed that the HDD is going to install into the NA port on the back of the PS2. It will have the NA built into it. But there is also an external model, maybe using the USB ports?????????????????? We shall see in due time huh?

If they provide more content for us and it's good stuff. Then I can see SOCOMers getting it.

I've heard that it will only be packaged with FFXI. That is why the price is so high. Haven't heard anything about the functionality for S2 yet, but I'm sure there will be a lot. Remember the upgrade screen in the beta?? You click on it to download the updates. I think this will be one of their methods for keeping the cheaters out - downloading patches and what not.

Deadeye.. that will also work on the memory card as well.. not necessarily HDD needed.. but yes.. i did see official aritcles about the HDD being used for S2 for new maps.. and talks of being able to UPLOAD your own created maps.. thats a rumor though on the custom maps
