It’s the third month into the life of Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer and I think I’ve had enough of it.
You could say I’m in the trough of disillusionment or maybe there’s just so many issues (little or large) that I’ve just had enough.
I’ve played over two day’s worth. My Kill/Death ratio is hovering at around 2.40 and I’ve Prestiged once. But as time passed, the thrills of acquiring a chopper gunner and mowing people down is no longer there. Instead, I see a borderline broken game.
This patch is live now, but for lazy skeptics like myself? We need a video to stir up some level of excitement and that’s what we have here. A video tour of the latest LBP patch.
I think I speak for most of us when I say that these fixes should have been in the product on day one. Hell, I think the game would have been better served if it was delayed until this year with the mass market price of the PlayStation 3 Slim.
On July 14, Killzone 2 will receive it’s tenth patch.
Tenth patch.
The game has improved considerably since its launch and I can’t help, but wonder how Killzone 2 would be if these patches weren’t for catching-up with basic functionality. What if these patches were adding awesome new features instead of basic server detail information? Oh well.
In addition to the server details, bug and exploit fixes, this 91 MB patch will enable support for the “Napalm & Cordite” map pack. There’s no release date yet for this third piece of downloadable content.

This is how it will work:
Four colored answer buttons are laid out on the floor and you need to make sure you’re standing on the right answer when the time runs out. The winner’s decided over four rounds, and there are a number of exclusive Home prizes up for grabs for the greatest players.
If my monthly allotment of bandwidth wasn’t 89% full, I would download the newly released Battlefield 2 1.5 beta patch (download at link). I would like to finally enjoy proper widescreen support and the new map they threw in.
Killzone 2’s 1.24 patch and Street Fighter IV’s Championship patch and have been dated for April 22nd and April 24th, respectively.
I’m relatively pleased with the KZ2 patch changes, but I wish they would have added the ability to see server details in this patch. As for the SFIV Championship Mode patch? I guess it’s cool. I don’t play that game online very much, but perhaps these tournaments will entice me to invest more time into it. I want to get a new joystick and an octagonal gate for the FightStick before investing more time into it though.
Details on both patches are available and are as follows:
