As stands; a estimate for the release of patch 1.3 should be 1st of August [Nicely guessed Cray].

The main points, which this patch will have concentrated on, are:

This Patch should clear up many users issues with patch 1.2 - such as the mentioned frame rate problems. It will also include a file validation system of sorts, which should prevent users from modifying files in such a way that would be gainful towards them [i.e. cheats.]

Map Editor news:

Crayon over at covert-strike.com is running a map competition just now, if your a budding, or experienced mapper give it a bash he promises prizes…so its all good

…So, maybe your hard at work and you’ve got stuck with something, or perhaps your just looking for some feedback - why don’t you check out the Codemasters editor forums here. Also on this note, if you’ve completed a map and are looking to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labour with the rest of the public, Crayon is offering to host the maps over at his jolt site [gee wiz he is a nice guy!] or on the other hand, if your just looking for a bit of press you could contact myself or SAS.

Sorry for the delay, I have been fighting with my Uni for the last few weeks as they have forgotten to mark our Exams so we need to wait another 2 months before learning if we passed

There are 3 new maps out:
Dockside
Area 21
Winterland

Now a special message to the hundereds of Emails I have gotten about the Cheats The Trainners out there on some sites are trojans and can also cause FADE to activate, the cheats listed on other sites DO NOT Work I will say this for the last time When testing the game Codemasters/Innerloop used Special Exe’s and as such there are no cheats in this game, the nada cheat was for the first game if memory serves and is not in IGI2. I hope that clears everything up.
