<div class="IPBDescription">Make downloadable content.</div>I was wondering if when this is all done with the game. UWE would have a chance to do single player along with a bot attachment. Maybe this downloadable content can even bring in more people to play. This would interest many and promote the game as well.

It could happen as a mod, but I don't see NS2 being designed with this gameplay in mind. Even if there's some single player content, it'd be like giving Team Fortress 2 a single player mode. It's really just not intended for that.
Bot support for low server populations? Sure. Scripted training rooms? Sure (though this would more likely be fan-made).
Also, at 35$, I would hope this DLC would be free. I mean KF is 20$, and has much, much more content available, though they did have more capital, a previous game release, a Engine already built, ectera. The problem right now is I know that NS2 is costing alot to develop. I've followed it since the start. The problem is I really can't justify the 35$. None of my friends will buy it when I talk to them about it. They all say 35$ is way to much for little content. Also, most of my friends say I was stupid for buying NS2 in the first place...the hype has died quite abit, most sites I visit these days think NS2 is going to either never release, or release and drop support right away, or start charging out the ass for additional content. (5$ skins, 5$ weapon skins, 10$ map packs, ect)
I think charging for DLC post release would be insulting really, unless the game was 15-20$. Oh, and maps better never cost money. It's already shown PC gamers do -not- appreciate paying for maps.
Le sigh...I miss the day when "DLC" was just part of an update the Devs released. Now adays it's 15$ for 4 maps...Valve & Blizzard & CD Projekt are the only devs I know left that provide lots of free additional content for their games...
