We simply don't know when we are able to release it. "If I'd knew that, I'd also know the lottery numbers for tomorrow" like my former boss used to say.

Do mind that we want to see this out as soon as possible as well. We're really excited to be able to play with all of you guys. Seeing you guys having fun and enjoying FH2 is one of the driving factors for many of us developers :)
But the bulge is a whole new front and a whole lot of stuff has to be done which unfortunately takes more time than previous Normandy Releases. After all, this is an entire new front, like 2.2 was from 2.15

Will we see more Normandy maps before or after the Bulge update?

No, Kurt, not exactly a year, we're lucky to that extend that we don't have to create all new models for everything ( trees, houses, statics, vehicles, weapons ) as some of those are done with a snowy re-texture. :)

The update will be this year, anything else would be silly. I'd even go as far as say it'll be on this half of the year. However I simply can't say when the update will come 'cause:
1. I simply don't know
2. if I'd promise a specific date and we'd miss it, everyone would get mad and disappointed.
3. And I'd most probably miss-guess the specific date because of number 1.

Can some of you beta testers help me identify the map screenshots for the Bulge Patch?
They can't. There are rules you know. ;)

I can, but I'm not going to. Those shots are all Work in Progress. We're simply letting you know we are working on stuff by showing these screenshots. You'll find out which maps are which when we make newsupdates about them.

Also, how many total maps can we expect in the next patch?
We aren't at the stage in development yet where we can say anything about the contents of the next patch.

They sure are :P some of the screenshots are taken directly from the editor :P you can see the undergrowth showing up trough the terrain on the other side of the hill, and bad resolution aswell :P

But very nice update! Best since 2.2 imo!
