What Flashpoint does add it adds after the campaign. It does help to keep interest in continuing playing after finishing the base game. Tho It is not as engaging as the Campaign. The campaign was great! Flashpoint is not everything I had hoped for but its a snack, filler I am enjoying. At first, I was disappointed, with the first DLC installment Flashpoint. It appeared, to add VERY little and I thought it was a sorry excuse for a DLC. To cut to the chase, it just took longer than expected for the Flash points to start popping up in quantity. Maybe it was an RNG thing. Idk. But It did pick up in pace and quantity. The rewards are better, contracts of Flashpoints may have consecutive deployments, which is nice for immersion and expanding the story line of Flashpoint events. Unfortunately I would of preferred a continuation to the main story and not filler. This is what it feels like to me. Filler. A bone tossed as a snack for what I was hungry for during the campaign: different/longer deployments (a little) but mainly rare/better weapon upgrades AKA loot!. To me they held it back just to add it in here. But I will take it as I simply can't stop playing it. Originally I thought It should only be a few dollars max, and should of been part of the base game. Well tho the value has increased, I have not seen anything that justifies a Fifty bucks as of yet.
*It is important to note that I have not finished the with the DLC, but my review had to be updated.
I am hoping for more congruous content in the future.
Update for Flashpoint (continued) and Urban Warfare:
Flashpoint turned out to be worth the price of admission, as it were, and as for Urban Warfare.... iffy. its iffy as sure it brings some urban/city maps and that feels good but paying for it as a separate DLC, should of been a free update imo. If you are one who loves new maps and LOVES Battletech then its probably for you. I love BT and have hundreds of hrs playing it. So in hind sight Flash Point gets 5/5 stars as its rewards are Stellar and can be played in Career mode or (after) campaign which is really cool. As for Urban Warfare (2.75/5 stars). The city maps are nicely done and the destructible buildings are pretty nice, I do not see enough content to warrant the Full price. Maybe ten bucks as a retail full price but not 20. The added mechs are super lightweights. Sure one can hold an AC/20 but thats it and its a Lightweight so not much armor for that range. I play with Heavies and up. I think most people do that once applicable so adding only light mechs are nothing more than novelty items. Sure it was sort of fun to test em out but that's as far as it goes. Test run or 2 then dropping the small fry for a larger one as you only get to take 4 mechs max no matter the tonnage. This is something I hope will be added in the next DLC. Larger Lances!!! Xcom2 got it right in there DLC hopefully Battletech Devs take note. I want to play with larger lances (more mechs to be clear).
Flashpoint=YES
Urban Warfare= Skippable unless you have money to throw in the streets or get a deal on the Season Pass over buying Flashpoint and maybe the 3rd DLC (if its any good). Urban Warfare should of been apart of the Games Update that re-balanced a little, added in stray shots etc. A nice Update imo. Didn't break anything and added some nice things.
