bullet purveyor 85 Posted July 31, 2012 No word of a release date. No twitter updates. No news on the facebook page. No word in any game media of the release. No email from Sprocket that my pre-purchase was available for download. Is it supposed to be a top secret DLC that only those who read the forum should now about? :confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylania 568 Posted July 31, 2012 1. Lite/Steam aren't out yet, so no need. :) 2. Twits? 3. Facebook was a fad. 4. Wait for GamesCon 5. Some people got them I heard, I didn't though. This was hopefully just a community beta to find bugs. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lokyi 10 Posted July 31, 2012 I assume it's because most resources are going into Arma3. You're not missing much yet, some new weapons and some not-even-properly-rehashed maps (someone couldn't even be bothered putting the town names etc back in). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sabre 244 Posted July 31, 2012 No email from Sprocket that my pre-purchase was available for download. Just on that one, I received an email saying it was ready. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
superdudey12 1 Posted July 31, 2012 I totally agree with you. I found the lack of publicity dissapointing, I don't even think they put anything in the news on these fourms. I only just realised it was out about an hour ago... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
^Th0mas^ 10 Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) I agree. I have been waiting for this DLC to be released for some time. No release date or anything. Today I was just randomly reading the ACR thread and was thinking "what the hell, people are talking like the game is released". Then I tried to Google it. Nope, no news at all. Then I checked their homepage, Facebook, Twitter. NOTHING. Even if they work hard on ArmA 3 it would take them a few seconds to announce it on Facebook atleast.

the_antipop 10 Posted July 31, 2012 I assume it's because most resources are going into Arma3.You're not missing much yet, some new weapons and some not-even-properly-rehashed maps (someone couldn't even be bothered putting the town names etc back in). I think they have a separate team who did ACR and now all the beta patches that isn't associated with the ArmA 3 development group, i.e a dedicated ArmA 2 team. (Not 100% sure, but that's what I've heard). But I agree with you, this DLC was not overly impressive. The campaign is fairly bland, maps in editor don't have any names and are just Chernarus in the summer. It's some nice new content (weapons, vehicles, units), but it's nothing note worthy. BAF was by far the best DLC. Quality campaign and quality units. I believe they'll announce it when 1.63 is done with ACR lite etc, or I would assume so. Still very strange that actually haven't posted anything in regards to it going live. Oh, and as Sabre said, I also got the email from Sprocket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's some nice new content (weapons, vehicles, units), ... Have to agree on that, disappointed, BIS should have released Chernarus Summer, the full map, instead of leading us to believe we were getting 2 new maps! I find the summer textures ugly, too bright at close range and too dark at long range, kind of a miss match between the near and far terrain, is it just me? :( Some nice new vehicles on the plus side, but overall very disapointing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No email from Sprocket that my pre-purchase was available for download. Is it supposed to be a top secret DLC that only those who read the forum should now about? :confused: Because the quality of the patch and the DLC is by far lower than 1.60's one !

Overlord 0 Posted August 1, 2012 Here's what I did: I pre-ordered (and paid) the DLC when announced. Waited for e-mail with DL link and key. Downloaded the DLC. Gonna patch game before installing it. I feel no need for massive publicity when I got personal e-mail when it's ready. Again, thanks BIS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But why not, it might be the army where devs has most intimate knowledge of :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
