No, that would be a waste of money. Origin is giving away a free game, be grateful.
Where is Episode One?
Episode one is contained in the original SO download and can not be downloaded separately.
What does the speech pack do?
The speech pack adds voices during combat and in all the cut scenes. It is not necessary for play, but definatly adds to the enjoyment of the game.
What's with the voices?
The actor who plays Casey's voice has been changed, due to the fact that the original actor was unavailable. The rest of the characters' voices are done by the original actors in Prophecy.

Secret Ops. It will be available in stores this October.

I keep getting the message 'you are unable to land', what does that
mean?
This means that the Cerberus' hangar bay has been destroyed by alien bombers. You will need to fly this mission over again.
Will they make more after Episode Seven?
While Origin may use the Secret Ops concept again in the future, there will be no more free Secret Ops episodes per se. Episode 7 will end the storyline begun in episode 1.
What's the difference between the winning/losing/default fictions?
The differences between the fictions are minor. For example, winning episode one fiction references destroying a pair of Moray's in mission one. The losing version of this fiction references allowing these Moray's to escape. The default fiction makes no mention whatsoever of the Morays.

A server problem seems to temporarily render the fiction unvailable. Just check back later and it should be available.
