First off, 1.5 is not an official Activision release like all the previous updates (this is actually the cause of the license troubles from a few weeks back), but instead something that we here at Splash Damage are funding ourselves and working on alongside our new project. As Activision's QA and localization departments are not available to help us out, we instead opted for an extended public beta phase to iron out any remaining kinks.

I have zero knowledge as to what went on between Splash Damage & Activision. Just pointing out something I think is somewhat interesting.

Yeah I saw that yesterday when checking out the Enemy Territory Quake Wars site. Looks like craptivision is giving that game the shaft too.
Screw the customer. So long as it doesn't impact our bottom line, we're happy.

Yep, and ETQW has needed patches; guess it should not be surprising that Activision is behind the crap patch schedule again...
