[swbf] Client Browser fixes

[Kevin Lockitt]

Jesus Christ man, calm down! They have just shipped a major title and have
probably been crunching for several months to meet their deadline. The only
thing they're probably thinking about doing now is taking a well-deserved
break and reacquainting themselves with family and friends.

Don't forget just how bad a state BF1942 was in at v1.0 and how long it took
DICE/EA to get BF1942 into decent shape. I am quite certain that Pandemic/LA
will do exactly the same with SWBF (as they have publically stated in their
forums) and you just need to take a pill, calm down and be patient. :)

I dunno, Kevin....  I made a personal plea on behalf of everyone I knew 
would want to be a part of some info, and their President decided to 
reply.   Why?  I really don't know, but I did include a bunch of info 
relating to our work with BF1942 and DICE, so maybe that had an effect, 
maybe it didn't.

Either way, I think it's complete bullshit to fully ignore the 
community, and those that are helping to promote their game.  If they 
are too complacent to recognize what sort of help this group can be, 
then screw them, and I'll be the first to drop all plans to run their 
game, and reinstate BF1942 because I know I can get some support from 
DICE, and acknowledgement from their dev group.
