And how many thread will be created to whine? (you can count this one already).

There will allways be whining, or else they would be bored for real.

"ZOMG this game sucks they said 6 hours and it's a minute past that"

or

"maybe if they used all 6 hours to patch, instead of the 2 that it took, we wouldn't have these bugs an hour later"

Sadly, there's no pleasing everyone. All I hope, is that things go relatively smoothly, and the bulk of the patches are successful. Yes, the patch also will include future content like sieges, and the next batch of episode missions - but they will not be available for a few weeks. A lot of the patch data, is just a pre-load for those events. I'm still expecting to see a lot of "where are sieges?" posts.

Hi all,

Anybody out there wanna take a stab at guessing how long the downtime is going to be? I know Sledge said 4 hours but we all know their estimates have been underestimated with past patches. Maybe it's 4 hours this time due to the large patch or maybe they're just covering their a**es (in which case, good job). Anyway, I'm confidently guessing a six hour downtime with extensions included. Anybody else?

P.S.

I do like that a lot of things are getting tweaked and fixed (UI, sniper rifle scopes, and arkfall weapon rewards among them) but I still wanted to have a little fun and get the forum involved. So... 6 hours for me. You?

We started a pool on the PS3 General Forums, 5k scrip to enter. My wager is 7hrs 15 minutes of total downtime.
