a question about Steel Battalion:LOC

I just got Steel Battalion but I did not buy Line of Contact because I wanted to get the feel of the controls before I went online and started getting my butt kicked. Is Line of Contact only going to be released for a short time?
I don't know and I don't want to miss out on buying it.
Thanks,

afaik, it is not going to be a limited release. but, imo, you should pick it up anyway.

we are on turn 3 right now (soon, turn 4).

I suck at this game so much...I am beginning to wonder if I am ever going to get the hang of it. I have had since Monday and I am only on Mission03. I think if I went online right now people would be mad because I suck so much

well, a lot of people suck... including myself!

when you look for a game, you can select the level - eg Newbie - and play in those matches.

i've been told that if you sort of get the hang of the game and get thru mission 4, you should be ok for online... i'm on mission 7, and i still get killed online.

also, check out http://sbc.pippin.us/index.asp if you want some more information on the game. it is almost too much info there, but it's the best fan site i've found so far.

Does LOC have custom soundtracks? I think that is the only thing missing from the original. I mean they make you buy the boombox but you can't play your own music.
