Not everybody voted though and the general mood is that people are fed up waiting. After all we are just willing to test a beta patch not a finished product!

Agree, its a beta let the long suffering fans help with the fix, we desereve to be involved for once.

Of ffs..not another useless thread on that...

Old development rule:
Release it, when it´s done!

Again:
How many of you will cry & whine for a patch that introduces new bugs?
Patience is virtue

Sorry, but do NOT release things until they're done. If released in an unfinished state, they basically have erected the cross and handed the community not just themselves but also the rusty nails and hammer we'll use to crucify them.

So no. Keep it inhouse until it's thoroughly tested, and when it's good enough, THEN release it. Rushing the release is what landed things the way they did, and some parts of history should not be repeated.

...this is a beta or will be, better said...A BETA patch is an unfinished and open for development product. Ok to get some feedback from people then when ready to be put up to Steam!...nothing wrong with that!..COD is after all an evolving project!

Agreed, only a BETA, no commitments or broken promises as it is not a finished product, but something we, the community can help with!

To bad its impossible to make this community understand the meaning of the word "beta" or "VIP" for that matter. You might as well try to explain the inner workings of a combustion engine to a 3-year old.

They have time and time again said that this patch is for the graphics engine only. What do you think will be the first question after its released?

Heres a hint, why...isnt....the...AI....fixed.....?.....?....? or any number of other issues people have that ISNT connected to the graphics engine.

And you think releasing anything thats other than perfect, or as close to it as possible, won`t create a nuclear meltdown NO MATTER what they say before release.

Personally i think the patch have been ready for the last week or two, they just dont want to release it before all the team members had a chance to put thire personal affairs in order, you know, writing a will, signing over the car to the misses and so on.

I dont think its good to release too early, it can be unplayable for many people or even all ( maybe just because of one thing not working like some textures so you get weird graphics or a lever in the cockpit or whatever) and because noone knows which issues are just still beta ( issues the developers are aware of) or are intended ( at least for final beta release) the forums would explode by guessing and whining.

Something tells me that is going to happen, regardless of the outcome.
