listen guys, i'm pretty sure Infinity Patriot doesn't actually go out and ass rape everybody who gets a kill on him in battlefront, cut him some slack ..
as for "the info" .. what i need, baseline:
1. balance patch with notes. at minimum give me the notes and tell me the patch will be here by the end of january. that's really the main thing.
info about DLC would be nice, another map would be nice

Looks like you have no self control. The ridiculousness of my post should've indicated I wasn't being serious in any way, yet you took it as such. Lighten up.
The intelligence level of a few posters in here aren't quite up to par :/

The official BF forums say so, yes.
You werr correct. Only details and timing info today.
We will be providing official details along with the January release timing tomorrow at 9AM PT.
PS: Yes, the January update is coming before the end of January.
wtf does it matter who I am.
Your definition of humor is your own. It needs to be for what you consider humor.

FWIW, I completely agree. Shit, I remember having a talk with my 15 year old little brother years ago about why he shouldn't use "rape/raping" so casually online. Even he was able to understand why he should stop, at the time.
But apparently we're the kids
Oh noes

Nothing else to talk about thanks to EA/DICE. So we shall turn on each other. This is how the world ends.
The 30th it is then.

In about an hour we'll be hating on EA/DICE again, instead of each other.

You sure ?
He's one of them DL-44 users.
Abusing the most broken gun in order to rape other players online.
That's kinda rapey thing to do.

I hope the DL-44 doesn't get nerfed before I get to it
you present some compelling evidence. the ass-rape trial of Infinity Patriot has begun.

Hopefully its corrected in the patch coming today. Ive had it unlocked for a while and never use it, it feels like cheating in the smaller maps. Its very very cheap.
It will

Sounds good just really curious as to what modes are going to be available on those new map locations. Im guessing there wont be a Walker Assault on Cloud City or Death Star.

To be honest, I'm more hyped for the free stuff.

Yeah, me neither....yet. Id like to see a bit of what they will be offering before I drop the cash (plus theres always the chance that it will go on discount). The free content sounds pretty good though, glad to see that they're fleshing out the game a bit more and its not all locked behind paid DLC.
Now, just gotta wait for dem patch notes. Im at work, is the patch up yet?
Unfortunately the DLCs sound like themed expansions... which means it will split the player base.
Oh, sure, themed DLCs are fun ideas but i don't think they're a good idea.
Like, one can immediately say Walker Assault won't work on Bespin and Death Star. Supremacy, perhaps, but won't have vehicles really (a big appeal to me in Supremacy).
In Battlefield 3, the only DLC i really played was the BF2 DLC since they fit with the basic maps well. All others were... well, too different, and finding games for them wasn't easy.
Or more likely, it is so early in pre-production they don't simply know what it is yet.

Echo Base? That's basically the same though, so it'll probably be that.

DICE confirmed just last week that a new map wasn't coming this map.
Cool looking skins, though.
Presumably a map in the Death Star pack, which is the dlc I'm most intrigued by. Not for £40, but still curious.
No mention of the A-Wing in those patch notes, and the RT-97C - the one gun I'm any good with - is taking a pretty big hit. Uh oh.
