I would NOT hold my breath over patch releases around the holidays. People who work at Dice are still people and need to take some time to spend with their families and friends too.

Nothing fouls a release date like holidays.

Still, they will want to release something ASAP after Christmas to show all the people who got it as a gift that they are being cared for.

Edit: adtional speculation; I wouldn't be suprised at all to see some extra content in the next patch as well as some actual bug fixes.

Hmm..I also noticed that under 'gamevariant', it's listed as 'xpack2'.

Oh God no...not another one already.

Taraba Quarry ? Great, we get to play in a ditch...

Think I'll go out to dig a hole in the ground and play with micromachines instead... Woohoo...

But yeah, the mod-name "xpack2" sounds more that of an addon rather than a patch...

Well nontheless it looks like we are going to be getting some new maps. Also thanks for the links to the other thread. Alot of very good ideas, such as the one relating to having a competion for maps (Community) and such or what they did with addons for BF1942 and V. I do hope they also fix everything.
