Terribly ironic; the same day I have to go back to school is the same day that EA fecks up their game more.

[Daywrecker]

I know what you mean Tiberian. I start school on the 14th! Damnit, i have to go 4 days a week too. SOB!!!!

See note below..........WL

ha! I only start 8 hour football practices tomorrow and you guys are complaining about school??? ok then I do agree this is bad timing but I would much rather put up with school 4 days a week than 8 hour football practices 5 days a week, missing all of the BO battles until the season is over, and probably not being here for a lot of other main battles cause of saturday games!!

but, that is only 2 weeks of torture, you guys have a long time of school so I imagine it is more torturous for you

Getting paid to keep fit and kick a ball around sounds good to me, although starting at my level of fitness it wouldnt be a pretty sight. I've got another month still I start college and I cant wait. So are we all going to be patched up for next Saturdays game?

Keep it on topic guys! You all know how that works, I know! Give the respect due the thread author by either having something to contribute to the topic at hand or resisting the urge to post a reply.

It's either that or someone has to come along and delete your posts, like we ain't got nuthin better to do, right?

Respects...........Winter

Due to some last minute changes the release of the 1.4 patch has been delayed.

We do not anticipate this delay being a lengthy one, however we do not have a fixed date for release at this time.

We will update you as soon as there is further information.

Apologies to those who were expecting the patch today, however in order for this patch to succeed in the way it is intended a little extra time is being taken to ensure it is right.

The release date for this patch currently is TBD, but we will update this announcement when we get new information on the patch. Apologies for the lateness of this update. Below is a list of the new content and fixes that will be included in the 1.4 patch.

With the release of the 1.4 patch we have made significant improvements to player and server stability as well as introduced more ranked content for players to enjoy. Along with the many bug fixes we have included the new map “ Road to Jalalabad” which is sponsored by Comcast making this patch is an excellent step forward for the Battlefield Franchise.

Unlocks are once available on unranked servers.
· Ranked server have to have unlocks activated.

Well that should make it easy for us to use unlocks in our tourney mode.

Fixed bug where after 2 rounds on the same map, the top player stars are awarded to the wrong people in the menu

That explains a lot!!!

Is the nametag blue\red bug the same issue described as the nametag hack?

· Fixed the issue that would cause infantry players to be revived with no kit.
