[bf1942] Info on the next beta

[Steven Hartland]

Thanks andreas hope the holiday was good and the place
wasn't in too much of a mess when u got back :D
You don't know how much we need that config patch, so its
great to hear that its gonna be coming in the next beta.
Is the next patch also going to fix the broken carriers, would
be great to be able to play those maps again.
