[cod] COD 1.5 Patch is out! (any news on the linux server?)

[Jay Vasallo]

I also think the updates are awesome. Great work on the windows patch! I 
will wait patiently for the linux, doesn't matter to me if they get released 
two weeks apart or at the same time, even though it was planned for a dual 
release. Crap happens. But they did a wonderful job trying to get it to us 
before the Holidays and this I commend them on!
