Aye, also keep in mind that these things take time - you've gotta code it, test it, find bugs (there are _always_ bugs), fix them, test it, find bugs, fix them, run it past Sony and MS QA, then release it. Sony and MS can take a couple of weeks in and of themselves. I'd much rather they took a little while and got it right, rather rushed it and made a mistake.
And if you play another game while you're waiting, is that a huge issue? I've stopped playing MP BoP for the moment (I'm in Aus, there's virtually no-one on in my timezone, and I'm tired of 1v1s which you have to wait 5-10 mins for), but I'll jump back on and try it once the patch comes out. I'm working through the single-missions on Sim and Realistic (realistic for some of the ground-attack - anyone who's finished that first Stalingrad mission in the evening on sim has my utmost admiration for their flying and spotting skills!), there's _plenty_ of gameplay there (and replayability too - the channel dogfight is epic
).
