Ok for the xbox guys (which seems like a fair share of you) the reason the patch is delayed is because of xbox/microsoft. The reason most patches come out late is that xbox/microsoft force a 3 week delay on any patch or dlc. They do this to make sure it doesn't make the system crash. If xbox/microsoft finds a problem with the patch the coders must go back and rework the patch so that it works specifically for xbox. Then it takes another 3 weeks for xbox to approve that "second" patch. A bunch of balogny, yes, but all that to make sure my xbox doesn't melt, yeah sure I'll take it. The only thing I really want from this patch is the removal of MAV killing, mortar in spawn, and the damn USAS to be gone, as well as a hurting to the famas/aek. I understand that all this has occurred, but as someone living B.P. (Before Patch) it is still very very frustrating.
