Yeah i think EVERYONE agrees that the online game finding is fundamentally flawed and its my only real gripe with the game to be honest... and its only a gripe because it means i can't play it as often as i would like to (i.e. CONSTANTLY :-) )

when is the map pack vetren coming out for xbox 360, if there is fault with the current one why dont they modify the ps3 one,and have it changed to xbox 360 region would make it easier for developers.not asking for them to remove current ps3 one make a back up of it and change it to xbox 360 region.

[EAUK_Omni]

I don't think it's as easy as that I'm afraid. I'm hoping we'll know more about the delay soon.

[chipbobo31]

well what i find strange is if they have the working ps3 one,how come they can't do xbox 360 version.

[Spidery Yoda]

It'll be something to do with Xbox Live. Microsoft are probably being really fussy with their certification (which they're notorious for), and its making it take longer than expected. They might even be pushing for EA to charge for the pack (something else they're notorious for).

I seriously doubt it's because of the maps themselves, because the PS3 version is fine.

Of course i'm just guessing, but I dont see what else it could be.

We just have to wait.

[chipbobo31]

why would ea charge for map for xbox 360 and not ps3 version as if they did the would be breking the retail law. I doubt ea would allow microsof to charge for it and if they are ea should put it on their server and allow download from the extras menu in the game as ubisoft do.

[Spidery Yoda]

I'm not saying they will. I doubt it'll happen. But Microsoft always push publishers to charge for DLC on Xbox Live. It's very rarely free.

However, since EA announced it's free and it's already out on the PS3 I doubt it'll happen. I'm just thinking out loud.

[chipbobo31]

i know that microsoft for you they should be reported to watch dog for it.

[EAUK_Omni]

I've heard nothing to suggest there will be any charge involved.

Well, as the US already have the map available to download for free, I don't see how they can charge European users for it.

Also, as EA decided to screw over the EU users by locking the game so we couldn't play against americans (they must be really scared of us) what did they change in the code that stops the USA patch from working on the EU game (apart from it downloads to a different location)

[chipbobo31]

i think it would be good if we could play against the us and asia.

[Renzengeki]

is the Europe version delayed or the US? i read in ps3fanboy that the US version is the delayed one. i still cant find the update in PSN

[EAUK_Omni]

The European version is delayed, the US one should be available now.

[oliath]

I blame micro$oft.
Can you tell me if there are any additional cutscenes included in the new DLC campaign missions that will further or elaborate on the existing story?
Thanks

[EAUK_Omni]

The Xbox 360 European version should be available tomorrow although this not 100% yet.

[oliath]

Ooooooooooooohhhh :-)
I have next week off work so if its out for then ill be one happy bunny.
Its been torture reading the xbox.com forums and hearing all the US players go on about how much fun they are having with it.
Didn't realise there were even more achivements included too!!! YAY.

[Spidery Yoda]

Read the first post, it pretty much sums up everything there is to know about the 2 missions. They are 2 new free missions that should be out very soon.

As for the online stuff, don't ask me i've never played it online.
