Today Electronic Arts announced the Resurgence Pack for owners of Mass Effect 3, bringing new content to the game at no additional charge.  That free part really shows that the developers are listening to the community, and are providing additional value for those who already own the game.   I really believe that more developers should follow Bioware's example here for their standalone titles.  It might seem like giving away the milk for free, but milk does a body good -- not to mix metaphors.

The Mass Effect 3: Resurgence Pack includes:

• Two New Action-Packed Maps – Take the battle to Firebase Condor, a warzone outpost located on one of Palaven's moons and Firebase Hydra, an old abandoned quarian colony which has since been converted into a critical power facility. Each map represents a crucial asset in the overall fight against the Reapers.

• Six Powerful New Unlockable Characters – Assume the role of new characters for each class, including the Asari Justicar Adept, Krogan Battlemaster Vanguard and characters from new playable races with theBatarian Soldier, Batarian Sentinel, Geth Engineer and Geth Infiltrator.

• Lethal New Weapons – Obliterate wave after wave of enemies by unlocking the Striker Assault Rifle, Kishock Harpoon Gun and Geth Plasma SMG.

• New Consumables – Cash in your credits to purchase reinforcement packs that could include the following new consumables:
  • Strength Enhancer – Applies a melee damage boost for one mission
  • Targeting VI – Applies a headshot damage bonus for one mission
  • Stabilization Module – Stabilizes weapons while firing and moving for one mission
  • Shield Power Cells – Shortens the length of time shields take to begin recharging for one mission

ME3's Resurgence Pack will be available for PC via Origin, Xbox, and PS3 on April 10th in North America, and April 11th in Europe.
