Patch News This was posted in the IWNation forums by HkySk8r187, an Infinity Ward employee, in reply to some complaints about the Xbox360 patch that was due out (all the patch did was fix the sp saved game issues and nothing else). "Hey guys, I believe I understand completely the type of communication you all want, and I dont blame you, so I'm doing my best here. I can't name specific issues the patch fixes for legal reasons, it's not my job to announce things like that and I dont want to get myself in trouble. However, I personally believe that all the gripes will be gone after this patch. We're in the final state for both the 360 and the pc patches, and we have addressed almost all of the major issues that we heard about. I'll see what I can do to get more info to you guys in the future, but be patient and keep an eye out for the patch, I have no doubts you will all be satisfied." To view the whole thread click here.
