Not if they can get it to a final release, all the downloading has been killing the community.

This content (like OA) looks really well polished. This is why BIS employed the modders. I'd gladly pay a little every few months for content this good. Being 9 quid isn't bad, COD-WAW players paid €15 for a map and a few weapons

BattlingCheese

would buy it too.

Hope it has some new voice packs
"Time for a cuppa chaps" and "Jolly good shot old chap"

Wonder why they left out the challenger, seems like the most obvious thing to add.
