The post that announced the patch was made by the owner of splashdamage - at 1 AM his time....

I have never seen attention to the community like this. just amazing to me. I hope this is a commercial success for the sake of future games. to think what BF could have been with this attention to detail...

Seems like they are really concerned with the players and their thoughts on the game. I also like how they take into consideration ideas for making the game better. This game gets more and more impressive, it's almost too good to be true.

Re: Patch 1.4 is due Dec ~ AWESOME

Very nice! So many improvements too little time to post 'em all. I especially like the possibility of smoother online gameplay, being in Australia and trying to play on the TG server is great most of the time, with this it'll be even better. I also like how they paid attention to helping out the newcomers, this game has a learning curve that's practically vertical, players can get into the game easier and faster.

I just hope it comes out like tomorrow as I'm going overseas soon and won't be able to take full advantage of this great patch.

I would like all of us to bow our heads and pray to (insert your choice of divine being).

Lord may you bless Splash Damage with great success and please Lord keep them away from the heathen console lands. Amen.

We've put a lot of thought into solving full-holds on MCP maps too... The MCP no longer takes damage while it's being repaired to its moveable state (making repairs by Engineers slightly less lemming-like), while the MCP driver will no longer die when it does take damage (he can't however use the gun in this state). The MCP will also now auto-deploy once it's in the green zone, removing the frustration that new drivers are not sure what to do.

No new maps yet? Kidding. They really have adressed alot of issues, even a couple i as a relatively new player have noticed, and that's a good thing!

Hopefully more companies will see the light from the progression of SD's insight on keeping a community informed and that the job of updating/ adding content to a game is never done.

Well, for companies I'd imagine this is a balancing act. They don't get extra revenue from such activities so its a trade off versus keeping your customers happy enough to buy your next product.

In the case of QW they need to do everything they can in order to make the game as appealing as possible given the amount of competition they have out there.
