" @Jackalol:
There will be some new weapons & other things, from the press statement found on ShackNews.com: 
 
The Hammer of Infinite Fate pack allows players to upgrade Eddie Riggs with three new outfits including the Mountain Man, Black Metal and Zaulia Threads, as well as seven more back patches to slay the tainted coil in style. Eddie's trusted hotrod, The Deuce (aka The Druid Plow) , will also get a face lift with four brand new paint jobs and four more upgrades that players can purchase including the Oculus of the Lost, an all-seeing GPS for the world, and the Eye of Sorrow, a weapon that harnesses the power of the Sea of Black Tears and launches black projectiles of doom at enemies, in addition to The Disgorger and the Coiling Maw.

Players will also be able to unlock 9 new achievements and trophies in Brutal Legend which are based on the latest additions of the Hammer of Infinite Fate expansion pack. Mount Rockmore will also see six more heads for players to purchase and unlock, including Rima, Razputin, Dadbat, Hunter, Kage the Kannonier and Tim Schafer himself.

Hammer of Infinite Fate further expands the Brutal Legend Stage Battle multiplayer experience with four new mind-melting multiplayer maps: the Altar of Blood, Coiled Remains, Crucible of the Titans and The Amplified Cliffs. Each map features a completely unique environment tailored to the Gods of Metal, with an in-game element of surprise that puts a strategic twist to every Stage Battle.    

"
Hey I appreciate that someone actually posted the list of stuff in this DLC, but this game needs more to the single player. Tim Schaffer can tell people they're playing the game wrong all he wants, but that doesn't mean they'll actually start enjoying the multiplayer.

How about some single player DLC instead? I don't get the impression many people like the multiplayer.

Love how with this DLC there will apparently be a few things for the single player as well from what I remember. After getting about 1/2 of the BL soundtrack from my own cds/amazon/etc. I've been wanting to go dive back into this from the beginning as well as track down those last few pesky dragon statues. Compared to the last DLC for BL, think I'll go with this one for the epic beard & other fking metal awesomeness.

Eddie Riggs must have held out on shaving until I actually play Brutal Legend. Not likely. Sorry, Tim Schafer. :(

It's worth the $5 IMO. It seems to have some cool new trophies/achievements, more multi-player maps (It is fun unlike what you hear!) and the eye of ocelot is  implemented well. Rather then littering the map with stuff, you have a eye mounted on the back of the deuce that blandly stares at the closest point of interest. No taking you out of the world. Better then a mini-map too! New deuce weapons as well.

The Stage Battles are actually rather enjoyable... you just have to forget playing defensively like it's a regular RTS. It's more Sacrifice than Starcraft.
 
... but sure, if you go in expecting Tim Schafer's God of War you will be disappointed.
 
I agree though singleplayer DLC would've been nice. Perhaps a mini-campaign with Ophelia and Doviculus as playable factions (though not sure how you could work that into the fiction). As it is, the only way to play as them is the multiplayer, or a custom AI game...

The only thing interesting about this game was the lore and the story. I don't get why anyone at double fine thought it was a good idea to make some more maps for the horrible multiplayer (and a beard) than to extend the singleplayer.

so is anyone actually excited for accessory content like this?
 
I feel the core gameplay experience wasn't good enough to warrant any of this, but they gotta make something back for all their efforts I suppose...I just wonder who the hell is going to buy it when the core game wasn't much fun. The story and art visuals - hell yes, the gameplay experience.. meh.

Yes sir! The story was waaay too short. Let's hope this DLC has some meat to it.
 
/finds out it's not more story
 
Never mind.

That is most certainly not a mullet. The hair is pretty long in front, disqualifying it from mulletdom.

Already sold the game, I play games VERY slowly (I have yet to finish MW II SinglePlayer.), but I finished this game in one evening. True, didnt get all the dragons and other collectible stuff, but there was no real insentive to look for them. My biggest disappointment of the year, and I wasn't even all that hyped for it to begin with.
