[cod] Patch 1.3 Beta

[John Kennington]

Well, they did say it does not address all known issues.  Why release a
public BETA that no one can use?  Doesn't make any sense.

ATTENTION: THIS PATCH IS A BETA PATCH 
and is not supported by Activision Customer Support. 
It is intended to address the critical issues listed below:

- Fixed a slow update problem with the server list.
- Fixed a problem where the server list would improperly list servers
with a ping of "1."
- Fixed a problem with the server list being incomplete.
- Fixed an exploit where prone players who leaned around corners could
see the enemy without being seen.
- Fixed an exploit where players could switch between prone and jumping
positions to move rapidly across a map.
- Fixed a bug with the sway animation of the sniper rifle scope on high
ping servers.
- Made improvements to Autobalancing.


Please carefully consider the following information before downloading
and/or installing this Beta patch: 

- This 1.3 BETA patch only supports English-language Windows versions of
the game. There is no Linux version of the updated beta multiplayer
code, and you will NOT be able to see Linux servers.

- Once you have installed this patch, the ONLY Call of Duty games you
will be able to see or join will be on game servers that are running the
Beta patch code. You will NOT be able to access any of the servers
running non-BETA Call of Duty code (i.e. 1.2 or earlier). If you have
friends or teammates who are not utilizing this patch, you will not be
able to play with them.

- Once installed, there is no "uninstall" for the patch that would roll
your game back to the previous (release) version of Call of Duty.
Therefore, once you have installed this beta patch, the only way to
revert to the release version of the game is to uninstall Call of Duty
completely, and then reinstall the game from your Call of Duty CD-ROMs.

- Installation of this Beta patch will make you ineligible for any
Activision Customer Support on this product. HOWEVER, reverting to the
original release code by re-installing the game from the CDROM you
purchased will reinstate your eligibility. Installing subsequent
official patches will also reinstate your eligibility for Activision
Customer Support.

- This patch does not address all known issues with the game.
