Hello PC fans,

I am happy to say that we have entered Phase 5 of our PC Patching Process, and are preparing the patch for worldwide distribution!

As such, I wanted to shed some light on precisely what Patch 1.2 has fixed. But first, I’d like to introduce a NEW MAP we’ve included in this patch – Makin Day.

Items addressed in 1.2:


1. Free Multiplayer Map! The tide is out and the sun is high – this daytime version of Makin sheds new light on the battle!
   
2. Fixed exploits that allowed for power ranking servers.
   
3. Fixed router related server authentication errors.
   
4. Fixed HTTP Redirect functionality for downloading mods
   
5. Fixed sound device crashes stemming from Emulated Sound Devices
   
6. Fixed exploit which allowed players to color their name tag.
   
7. Hits now register properly while targeted player is leaning.
   
8. Enabled /cg_drawfps in multiplayer games.
   
9. Fixed command-line +connect functionality
   
10. /cg_fov no longer resets to the default value in between matches.
    
11. Dedicated servers automatically reconnect to the Master Server in case the Master Server resets.
    
12. "Accept Game Invite" is bound to its default key, F10.
    
13. Implemented fix for attempting to join password protected servers from the server browser.
    
14. Fine tuned Bolt-Action Rifles for balance.
    
15. Screenshots no longer overwrite each other.
    
16. Fixed various multiplayer map related issues and exploits.

We are aware that /record is not on this list, but are happy to say we’ve already begun working on a Patch 1.3 which will address /record. More details on that patch will emerge after the 1.2 release.

So get ready to get your frag on – Patch 1.2 is releasing TOMORROW, Feb. 6th 2009! Mirrors should start being made available in the morning, PST.

Regards,
