Codemasters have announced new DLC for the recent release Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising.  The Skirmish Pack will be available tomorrow for PC owners of the game, while for 360 owners may have wait longer. 

The Skirmish Pack will contain 4 new multiplayer maps, 2 new Fire Team Engagement (FTE) missions (for solo or co-op), and is expected to cost 400 MS points.

In addition to the DLC announcement, Codemasters also revealed that the long awaited patch will also go live tomorrow.

The patch promises to fix: -

1. The game will now return the correct list of servers after searching a game.
2. A corrupted save data bug has been fixed.
3. The game will now automatically unlock the FTE missions when a specific DLC is added to the game.
4. Gameplay online: -
   • The player is now not blocked after healing another soldier as a medic.
   • If the player fires the SMAW weapon during a PvP game, the sight will now disappear as normal.
   • The player can now change weapons after firing a machine gun multiple times.
   • The PF98 QueenBee weapon does now always have an effect on vehicles for the client.
   • During a PvP game if the player spawns inside a vehicle, the weapon will now be correctly attached to the player and now float next to the player.
   • “Shots Fired” dialogue will now be triggered adequately in the annihilation mode.
5. The inventory UI from the crate or corpse can now be opened correctly when the player is standing at distance.
6. Loading the 1st checkpoint with javelin equipped in the mission Dragon’s fury will not cause a loss of audio in certain instances.
7. If the fireteams are following orders and then the player select an ROE order on all fireteams including themselves the orders will now be spread across all fireteams.
8. The reloading time is now correct when the player is going prone straight after firing a SMAW or Queen Bee weapons.
9. When exiting the credits, the heading will not transition twice.
