Missions are said to go through an update next week. Apparently their are a few questions and confusion with them.

what's so confusing about em ? =/

People just flooding customer service with stupid questions.

That traitor mission sounds like a blast to play. Too bad I don't have 2.5k.

Man, I am soo pumped for this. I swear I play mental games in my head with my list. I need to I guess since I can't get any game time. Still wondering what to bring though. A fate/Crusher, DE or my snazzy new Dark Angels? What's everyone else bringing?

That is good to think about how games unfold. You can come up with counter strategies before you ever face the problem in question.
