I just check my email and got the notification. They are probably doing this in stages. I think they also have to process your credit card so that takes time too.

Its going to be 6 or 7 hours before I can try to download anyway. I got a 50 meg connection. We'll see if things die down by then.

Downloaded, setup & running.

Looks fantastic!

Question: If you (well, if I) click on "Battles" I see 5 entries for each of two MONSTER "Master" maps (Orsha & Radzymin). Are these supposed to be included in the build? They have no units on them (the '1' map of each, anyway), and take a loooong time to load.

My bet is these are (like they say) “master maps” that the BF guys used sections of for other scenarios. Not sure why they are showing up in the Battles screen, or if they even meant to distribute them to the Gen. Public.

Curious.

The monster maps have to be built as a scenario so they will always show in the battles folder. They are there so third party scenario designers can open them in the editor and cut them up as they see fit to create new scenarios. I think overall folks felt after CM Commonwealth that effort put into the master maps was wasted if not released. Just a guess though. It certainly changed with MG as there are several master maps in there as well.

He did nothing wrong. They just don't want us to give out the download link, and nobody has. Saying you are downloading the game does not flood the download server.

Believe what you will, but don't expect me to explain it to you as that would just exacerbate the issue.

I do say it half in jest, because there's ALWAYS someone who announces. It's like there's a great roulette wheel that spins and picks someone to be the Bone-head du jour concerning a Battlefront release.

You know it is going to happen, the only question left is who? Hence, the obligatory "You are a bone-head" message to the starter of the first thread.

One could say it's almost a tradition.

Somehow I will get over it :) There might be a few that benefited from the 15 minute early warning and I just wanted to express my excitement.

Oh my god, it's out?! I only pre-ordered this game yesterday! It seems it was released just a few hours later. I pre-ordered this, went to bed, then woke up to see that it's released.

Holy hell that's lucky. I still managed to get the discount for the mail + download thingy. That was a close one.

I did not pre-order and started to download pretty well as soon as the "download only" link became available, took about 20 minutes, no problems and I am running RED THUNDER now. This done from central Canada. Just started my first PBEM match against a buddy who lives in Germany, he had no issues with downloading either.

Good Hunting everyone. :)
