Difference between revisions of "Longterm schedule"

Revision as of 23:26, 19 May 2012

The purpose of the longterm schedule is to give players a rough idea of what to expect in future updates to the Xbox 360 servers. Please remember that this is not an official schedule, and should not be mistaken as one. The information outlined here is based on updates which have occurred on the Japanese PC servers. However, certain content and features have been omitted based on official announcements and general observations of game management for the Xbox 360 servers. These omissions are only educated guesses, and do not guarantee that an unlisted feature will not be added to the Xbox 360 servers in the future.

In the list below, whenever you see this icon next to an item's name, you should expect the Xbox 360 version of that item to be renamed and re-skinned using an existing model. Generally speaking, this does not apply to new materials or line shields, as they do not require visual models. Unless a client update occurs in the future, all new weapons will rely on existing models as of client ver.2.0005.8.
