Call of Duty 2 1.2 Patch
Activision sends along the long-awaited v1.2 patch for Call of Duty 2. The update offers various multiplayer improvements, the addition of Punkbuster, and two new multiplayer maps. Here are some of the changes
NEW FEATURES - Added a new Multiplayer welcome screen when joining a server that details the Map objectives and victory conditions. - Added Multiplayer spawning logic that will reduce instances of players spawning in front of enemy players. GENERAL FIXES - Corrected an issue that occurred on certain systems using AMD(R) Dual-Core processors where player health would not replenish at the intended speed. MULTIPLAYER FIXES - Fixed a potential exploit where players could get outside the map boundaries. - Corrected an exploit that caused some servers to shut down unexpectedly. - Hovering over an enemy player no longer causes the crosshairs to highlight in red. This change does not affect teammates and crosshairs pointed at a friendly player will still highlight green.

I'm definitely becoming warm to the idea of purchasing software over steam. I already preordered SiN Episodes: Emergence. Though, getting SiN 1 for free with this purchase was a huge incentive. So far, besides SiN Episodes, I've bought Darwinia which was pretty sweet. It's amazing how convenient it is to order these games and have them ready to play in a few minutes. I'm realizing that digital distribution has the chance to do extremely well, and I really hope it does this. As much as I thought I'd miss getting a box and all the extras, if they can sell games for a reduced price over steam or equivalents, I wouldn't care.
