New Patch
http://clanservers.multiplay.co.uk/?p=/ftpfiles.php%3Ffid%3D17570

Wonder what this fixes..

"This patch addresses the issue reported by community member Uzi Kidding which now catches some files bypassing the pure client test. In addition this update will set properties so that Anti-lag is always enabled upon map loads, an optimization for Sniper Rifle accuracy at certain distances, as well a fix so text chat between rounds of multiplayer will no longer cut out at the end. The 1.3 patch will also include all previous fixes from previous patches."

Doesn't appear to be a full changelog yet.

I have the steam version. It isn't downloading a patch yet

Steam should do it automagically

My brother is really happy with this patch - there are some small niggles that were sorted, like sometimes text inputs during the scores screen wouldnt register and some connection issues I think, but mostly hes happy because the accuracy of the sniper rifles has been 'fixed'. Now he can do his old CoD2 jump shots down the scope again and he's pleased with the lengthier plant/defuse times on the bomb, too. I've not really had a chance to play 1.3 yet, but it should be good.

Plant times are set server side so that is up to the server how fast/slow it goes. I hate snipers so I consider any aid to them a travesty. I'm generally a bit annoyed with what they've done with the knives, I don't know what it is and a load of other people have agreed with me that before it was see someone sneak behind them and shrink they are down. Now you get the 2142 joy of going right behind someone knifing them and they just don't die. There seems to be no release note to the affect of major knife changes but it really has and it sucks bum. The only person who seems unaffected is trax and he is a freak. I'm getting absolutely fed up of bunny hopping and dolphin diving and feel that jumping should be entirely removed from the game as there is no real need for it. Other than that I'm still happy with it.

You're just annoyed bob that I hunted you down on Overgrown for half an hour stabbing you to death

To the point where you actually swore at me

I agree with bob on both jumping and snipers. Since there's the 'climb over low wall' thing from CoD2 there's no need for it except aiding the annoying tactics, and the whole 'hold breath' crap took out the need for snipers to get down low and make an effort to get a good shot, all in all removing the main - if not the only - downside to it.
