Moon Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 ...and before somebody asks - no, this has no impact on the first patch release. That is still our priority at the moment. The add-on has been planned all along and prepared ahead of time, so the full developer focus at the moment is on the patch. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorgTzu Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I think I may have to upgrade my vid card after all. Looking forward to the map editor most of all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
666 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Nice news, thx guys:) I have 2 questions: - Are you planning another add-ons like that? - Will this add-on include new units? (Germans are lacking of historicaly accurate equipement - PzIII ausf. G or H and PZIV ausf. E) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Let me be the first to ask.... So when exactly will this be ready and before i forget because I pre-ordered do I get mine early... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 666 - we have plans at the moment for a BIG add-on (but that one will not be free) with additional features and who knows, perhaps some additional units, too. But that's half a year from now at least, so too early to even speculate. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kettenhund Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 This is definetly your best decision BF. This Map editor is the best way to keep this game alive over years with content from the community. After this addon you must only fix the MP part of the game. Dont forget the online players, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flintlock Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Wow, what a pleasant surprise! A hearty thank you to both Battlefront and 1C for the excellent support of ToW. I would have happily paid for this. Really looking forward to this add-on. Again, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColonelBlimp Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I think that "probably have new units" will have to be a definitely to garner my interest-there are so many important ones missing. I'm not too enthusiastic for paying for things like new units, but if the addon has everything in my "Definitive List..." thread I will not care very much!
