Well, with a renewed interest inArma 2(that thing you bought so you could playDayZ), Bohemia Interactive has released the 1.62 patch update for said game.

When’s that DLC out, again? “The Battle of Jakku” releases on December 1 for folks who pre-orderedBattlefront, and one week later for everyone else....
