Wait a minute...I thought EA said they were going to ship it out on 9/10?

Stalingrad is easily the largest of all the maps we played, and EA demonstrated this fact by opening the floodgates and allowing 56 players into the match. Even with nearly 30 players on each team, the map was far from congested and produced some of the most intense firefights of the evening.
And from Gamespy:
Battlefield: 1942 is planning to support 64 simultaneous players, but it's hard for us to imagine even half that amount running around on Stalingrad. Due to the small size of the map, even our 6-on-6 games turned into a furious battle for the center flag point, with each team usually laying claim to one of the two opposing buildings.
So uhm...are these two completely separate maps? I'm confused o_O
