Hello everyone!

Just to let you know the TU is about to be in your lap.

I can't give you a date, as it has to go through a pretty rigorous QA session to make sure we didn't b0rk more crap in the process of fixing other things. However, we are all aware and want to get this to you ASAP. I am right there with you wishing I could rock all of you with a solid experience.

Just to note other things Tiggs posted!

Points are fixed, so you'll start rocking your leaderboard/stats/achievements all in good time now.
Matchmaking should be a lot faster
Trial Users will be separated from Retail Users to give you a better play experience (minimize rage quitters)

There are a ton of other fixes the guys have been cranking away at.

Please be advised that things like updates to menus, options etc. are not in this patch. Right now we are focused on getting you these fixes ASAP to make a solid play experience. Then we'll move onto getting features you want in the game.

With that said, I'll be off to GDC starting tomorrow but will be hopefully checking the forums over the next days. The guys will still be cranking away at fixes and making sure we get you your candy.

Thanks!
