    To All Those Expecting The Patch Today

    This is really starting to **** me off, so I'm just going to make a post with a collective of reasons why I think the patch will NOT be released today.

    First of all, there is absolutely NO factual information to suggest that it will be out today. This rumor started because someone claimed to have a leaked copy of a message sent to all ranked servers, which said the patch would be out today. Not only was the poster not able to prove the validity of the message, but ranked hosts have actually DISPROVEN it. Basically, you're all following some random rumor with no facts behind it...

    Second, many of you are claiming that releasing it today would follow the pattern of release dates for patches in the past. This is so wrong it isn't even funny. Here are recent BF patch dates:
    BF42 - 1.2 - 11/27/02 - Wednesday
    BF42 - 1.31 - 3/7/03 - Friday
    BF42 - 1.4 - 6/11/03 - Wednesday
    BF42 - 1.45 - 9/05/03 - Friday
    BF42 - 1.5 - 10/30/03 - Thursday
    BF42 - 1.6 - 1/30/04 - Friday
    BF42 - 1.6 - 12/1/04 - Wednesday
    BFV - 1.01 - 5/21/04 - Friday
    BFV - 1.02 - 6/9/04 - Wednesday
    BFV - 1.1 - 7/28/04 - Wednesday
    BFV - 1.2 - 10/7/04 - Thursday
    BFV - 1.21 - 12/1/04 - Wednesday
    BF2 - 1.01 - 7/6 - Wednesday
    BF2 - 1.02 - 7/15 - Friday

    Notice how MOST of them came out on Wednesday, followed by Friday, with a Thursday in there too? Not a single patch was ever released before Wednesday.

    Third, take a look at the following post made by 'EAUK_Protagonist' on October 2nd (yesterday) from the EAUK forums:

    Now then, any of you have any actual proof that proves that it WILL be released today? I didn't think so.

                  Nice one Salad.

                  The funny thing is some people still won't believe you.
                  They'd rather believe rumors that its coming out today than actually read a quote from an EA dude that says it's not. :laugh:

                  Good post anyways :)

                    umm.. yeah.. except.. from EA's website :

                    9.30.05
                    1.03 Update
                    That's right, troops. Barring any last minute issues, the 1.03 update is only a few days from release now.

                    "only a FEW days" a few (to all those that speak ENGLISH) is said to equal "THREE".. 3 days from the 30'th.. would therefore.. be the 3rd....

                        According to Dictionary.com, the word "few" does not carry a direct number of days with it. And 5 days (Friday - Wednesday) can still be considered a "few" days. (Note, I am not saying it will be out Wednesday).

                        Also, now that I think of it, the message that stated it would be out October 3rd also stated that the patch would be renamed to 1.10 (remember that?). However, EA is still referring to it as 1.03 on the latest message. Don't you think they'd refer to it by the new name by now if it was changed? Just something to think about...

                        By the way, it's after 9 GMT right now, and still no patch. Why don't you go make up another real message apologizing for the previously incorrect information, and then stating it will be out tomorrow, so we can all get excited over that?

                            There is a sign at the bar around the corner that reads that it will open in a few days. That sign has been there ever since I moved here.
