This post is inspired from the thread, "The end of one of stern's best pins", and response of STERNS facebook post giving away autographed flyers to the last production run of #metallica-le #metallica. I know this thread could have gone under the Metallica thread, but this feels it should stand on its own considering the scope of the question:

Would you want STERN to provide one more Code update to this already amazing game? Please reply to the Poll and perhaps a brief description to why you said "Yes", "No", or "Maybe". Perhaps you found bugs, incomplete rules, workflow issues, another Wizard Mode (shorter one)?

As you know code updates could introduce both good/bad decisions. Its not always an easy question to answer.
This thread hopefully could be seen by STERN developers and pass along to the right people and perhaps we could get one final wish.

So fellow pinheads, what fate would you put on this game and why?

I cannot answer this question yet as I just bought NIB #metallica-le and it will be arriving in a week and want to hear the opinions of others while I wait impatiently!!

Wanting a non-specific code update on a proven 5-year-run, amazing pin that you haven’t even received yet is a first for Pinside.

I just want the music volume bug fixed. It’s not loud enough without modifying the volumes of speech and music from factory, but I can’t stand the long silent pause at end of ball with it not on factory settings!!

@Guinnesstime, As you see in my OP, I state "I cannot answer this question yet...", so I am not imposing I want a "non-specific code update".

I have played this game over the years, but have not had the time to learn the rules, apply them, stacking, etc...

This forum post is to see from other pinheads what they feel about the current state of the Code for Metallica. Maybe somebody else has thought of something pretty cool not already implemented that will flow well in the game, experienced a bug and want it fixed, incomplete feature implemented, etc..

STERN claims this is the final production run of Metallica Pinball, so for argument sake, it feels appropriate to ask in the forum group if anybody desires a "Code Update" to this game to go along with the "Final Production Run".

There WAS a Metallica code update. At least that's what I told my wife when the DMD display magically transformed from amber to color. . This post should be cross posted in the Confession thread.

I would like to see The 4 horsemen song integrated as was originally intended
There are already some dots for this. I don't see them enough. They are so cool !

Also I still stand by my previous comments about graveyard going to sleep during some modes, ie. not registering shots.
Only during certain modes and multiballs.
I am sure its a bug or code problem.

Outside this the game is perfect.

Awesome work John, Lyman, Donny !

THANK YOU !

I would like the song selections to all start from the beginning, some do and some don't.
Also I would like it if the song continued from where it left off when ball drains.
I can live without these updates but if we are being picky...
Thanks Mr. Sheats for a stellar code.

My guess is that there will be a code update when the vault version comes out in a few years' similar to what recently happened with ACDC Vault.
