It is awesome...downloaded late last night (i.e 3am this morning) and it cuts the loading in time in half and the graphics are far superior. They also made it a lot easier to kill someone and because it is soooooooooo much smoother running it seems to be running a bit faster. The took a very good game and made it great....your gonna luv it

It's about time. Did it clean up the netcode at all?

Cleaned it up alittle. I think the prediction code was made so that its easier to shoot someone while on the move and lag doesn't play as big a part as it did before with hand weapons. I already have it installed and the graphics did look better. Hardware shadows with GF3 and up cards, so I can run shadows now with no hit in performance. :)
Sadly, the sound dropout bug with hardware acceleration still occurs for me.:(

Good lord this patch made one heck of a difference. They REALLY cleaned up the netcode. The 56k'ers in our clan are now effective, and I never get the dread "Connection problems detected" popup anymore.
Tanks are now more realisitc. Gotta love that.
I like the edition of the 2nd cross hair that pops up when your actually hitting someone.
I like seeing people drop for 2 or 3 rounds from the BAR like is should be.
The shot prediction is WAY better. I thought I was a lethal sniper before, hehe, run you little snot you'll only die tired now!
I haven't been on any ships yet, hopefully they cleaned up the moving ship bugs.
yer hope they have fixed it, now all i gotto go and do is download it on my 28.8k access hehe

I haven't really noticed too much difference, other than less lag effects/hit detection during close combat. But, I never had too much problem with the game & play on a server where I get 60-100 ping.
I do love not having to reconnect to the server every map change.
