[cod] CoD4 DoS

[james landi]

Andre is correct about the bug they "said" was the cause of the  
delay.   Do I believe that's the only reason, no :-).

Correct me if I'm wrong and I don't want to lead anyone in the wrong  
direction, but hasn't Ryan stepped up "on his own" to fix one of these  
bugs from Luigi in the past?  Not saying he should do it again but  
just trying to find an old post or I should say email from this  
thread. Could have been MOH or CoD1.

Also it's not back in QA from what I know, it's ready to go. However  
for some strange reason, it's being held up for non technical  
reasons.  Sorry that is all I know.  I wish 402 was a little more open  
and communicating with us, their PC customers.
