updates that keep getting pushed through, which is why I am making this post.<br>
I want to explain why the PC community cannot receive updates quite as
frequently as the console world.<br>
<br>
For that, please read the PC Patching Process sticky here:<br>
</span><a href="http://www.callofduty.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=91072" target="_blank"><span lang="EN-GB">http://www.callofduty.com/board/view...p?f=29&t=91072</span></a><span lang="EN-GB"><br>
<br>
After having read that, I want to update you with where we are at in that
process. Presently, we are smack dab in the middle of<b> Phase 2</b>.<br>
We have a comprehensive list of what the community has been reporting, and we
are reproducing & fixing some the issues for Patch 1.2.<br>
<br>
Now we understand that some issues are more urgent than others. For this
reason, we are aiming to release Patch 1.2 as quickly as possible - sometime
towards the end of this month, beginning of next month (February).<br>
We want to move quickly on some of the more pertinent and more easily isolated
issues, rather than waiting to release a more comprehensive patch that attempts
to address them all.<br>
<br>
Below is a list of some of the issues we are trying to fix for Patch 1.2. In
order to get this patch out at the beginning of February at the latest,<br>
there may be an issue or two we intended to fix that gets pushed to Patch 1.3. </span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<ul type="circle">
<li><span lang="EN-GB">All relevant console hot
fixes & TU fixes (mostly MP map fixes). </span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB">HTTP Redirect. </span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB">Dedicated server
reconnecting to master server index w/out reboot. </span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB">Fast-XP "Power
Servers" exploit. </span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB">Server authentication
errors. </span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB">Cg_drawFPS in Multiplayer.
</span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB">Cg_fov defaulting back to
65 after death. </span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB">+connect command line
argument. </span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB">Preventing altering clan
tag colors (used to appear as friendly instead of an enemy). </span></li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">Patch 1.2 will not address every problem in the game. Patch
1.3 will encompass many more of the outstanding issues,<br>
and will start at Phase 2 again once patch 1.2 passes through Phase 5.<br>
<br>
Additional support for the game will be available by way of patches as
necessary in the future.<br>
And before you ask, one of the items still on our list is<b> /record</b> (this
is unfortunately a bigger task which cannot be completed in time for 1.2).<br>
More info regarding future patches will be made available after Patch 1.2 is
released.<br>
<br>
Hope that clears up some of the questions. In the meantime, enjoy double-XP
this weekend!<br>
<br>
