I thought that the first download would be only new maps, and the Mechs would be later? Or is this why it got pushed back?
I will believe it when I see it. i remeber Microsoft saying that downloadable content would be available for Unreal on the first day. This was tha main reason I got XBL, for the content. They made it sould like they would be putting out alot of stuff to download, and I have yet to see anything significant.

Rather than release it week by week, they decided to put the first 4 chunks -- 2 mechs, 2 maps -- together in one download to make up for the delay.

To the best of my knowledge, there was nothing in the PR about offline upgrades. I am sure it will happen, but not just yet. A perk for the Live players I guess.

I emailed Mike Salmon about the MA content being available on the OXM disc back in December. A few weeks later I got a reply from him stating that the downloadable content should be available on the OXM disc the following month after it's released.
That was when everyone thought we were getting the 2 new mechs on Jan 15th. Who knows what will happen with OXM and the content availability now.

The downloads are now available. There are 2 new maps Hell's Kitchen and an artic one. There are also 2 new mechs. Both are smaller ones. Either the game I was was having problems or the Hell's Kitchen map has problem. People kept disappearing and going into solid objects.
