    COD2 Patch Info

    I am at pains to point out that this is NOT AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCMENT

    Im sure everyone is wondering why the patch is taking so long, so I thought Id share a little of what I know about the situation.

    For those that dont know me, I also work at Infinity Ward Nation, as a staff member. I have spoken to some of the Developers at IW (makers of COD2), and have even spoken to Grant Collier, CEO for IW. So, as such, I am uniquely qualified to get some of the 'inside' story on things.

    As both Activision and IW have a HDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) with MS, they cannot divulge too much about the causes of the hold up. This explains why IW remains tight-liped about the whole deal. But, with a little detective work, I have pieced things together, and this is my estimate of the situation:

    Activison and IW have an agreement with MS to roll out any patches for COD2 together - for both the 360 and the PC. As the 360 was shipped without an adequate update system in place, this has held things up - until an adequate update system for the 360 was implimented.

    As most 360 users will tell you, as of this week, there is finally an Update patch available to all 360 users with a Live account. This is mandatory, so every 360 user has to download it. It will fit on either a mem card or a hd.

    As the 360 has now been readied for any updates, rumor has it that the COD2 patch will be released this week. Im not totally confident that this rumor is accurate, but I do know that the patch is now very close. the PC patch has been ready for some time now, and now that the 360 is ready for updates, I think it safe to say it will probable be sometime this month.

    Memories of non-disclosure agreements and waiting for patches with HaloPC come flooding back. But HaloPC was MS's intellectual propert. So why IW have released control of their game in a contract with Microsoft is baffling. The likes of CoD2 promote the 360, yet MS have no qualms about leaving IW out to dry to suit their wishes.

    Xbox Patch was released a while ago, so hopefully we'll see 1.1 soon enough
