Well, hello. Did anyone see that Road to Rome was NOT being produced by Digital Illusions (DICE), the original developers? Instead it's being produced by The Digital Fusion (the Beach Head franchise).

See GameSpot: http://gamespot.com/gamespot/filters/products/0,11114,562564,00.html

2015 anyone?

All the whining about the patch not done is ridiculous. It's not like the game is unplayable, or crashes, or has any number of critical problems that need to be addressed ASAP. EA/Dice have been extremely cool in releasing weekly updates instead of leaving us in the dark like many developers, especially since this isn't a critical patch update.

It's not going to fix client prediction which is the number one bitch and moan reason people want this patch. Read that again. It's not going to fix client side prediction, so save the bitching and moaning for the next patch.

Oh yeah, its a really good business model to put all your resources
on this patch, Im sure it takes the whole development studio
to do it right? It will come in good time, the expansion pack
will just show Id/valve/2015/gearbox/etc just how little we want
another hallways and dungeons shooter.

If I had a patch for every time they said the patch was coming "next week", I'd have a patch allready.

1.2 Patch
The 1.2 patch is in progress. We had originally hoped to release it as early as today, but some last minute problems are preventing that. Expect the patch very soon.

Proper order of events for me:
1) 1.2 patch comes out.
2) My buds at Shack say that it solves client prediction to their satisfaction.
3) I buy BF1942.
4) I buy Expansion Pack.

Steps 3 & 4 don't happen EA until steps 1 & 2 do.

Well if this is what I think it is, I really don't believe 1.2 patch will make it out today or this weekend. My guess is that it will be either mon or tues before it is released.

Why you ask, this seems like a wag the dog tactic but instead it upsets the community more.

Bah I can wait a few extra days for the patch and I have allready paid for the expansion pack.

Why It Makes Sense to Beat a Dead Horse:

Sets an example for other horses. (that might be watching)

Aerobic workout.

Horse might not be dead yet. (Better safe than sorry. You can never be too careful.)

Tenderizes the meat.

Horse is unable to fight back.

Makes you feel good. (Provides a welcome relief from tension or anxiety.)

from www.errolmorris.com

That said, I'll now say "patch please".
