Thanks for sharing, fucknut. Now that you've enriched all our lives, you can re-insert your head back up your ass.
"if i wanted 2 see what ea said about the patch i would have gone to there [sic] website"
This begs the question "So, why didn't you?"
As far as "untallented hack" goes I think my BF 1942 case mod speaks for itself:

you r a bunch of wankers and i dont like u. monkeys.
C'mon Xtro, you should know better.
The Internet isn't about replication of information, and it never was.
It was created purely to give the average pre-teen nobody with a PII and a $9.95 dialup account the chance to voice their unwanted, ill-informed, grammatically-challenged opinion all over the globe.
"if i wanted 2 see what ea said about the patch i would have gone to there website. so stop copy and pasting other peoples work tou untallented hack."
God man. They are not saying they made the patch, they are just reposting it. I hate negative people. It takes alot to put up a website. It only takes a small penis to rag on it.
Oh, nice grammer and spelling you thirteen year old's really amaze me. Mom must be proud.
Thanks for posting the patch, I downloaded it from you and it worked, I couldn't get it to work from EA's site. Now my true inability to play without cheating shows how crap I am! For anyone who thinks it's realistic though......as an ex commando with some active service under my belt I've never found a hill I couldn't climb, never died from falling, and never been shot by my mates over a jeep! Our max distance for a head shot with a SLR would be 100 metres, we were expected to shoot a 6" group at 600m, the sniper rifles would work at up to a mile, and the gunners would be between 14-40km away! And where's the hells the heli's?
I think it's relative. Compared to real life, no it's not realistic. Compared to a game like serious sam it's pretty realistic. But if the armed forces were consisted of people who play this game - tubby, pale, spotty, short sighted computer geeks - then I'd expect them not to be able to climb hills, die when their frail bodies fall short distances and shoot each other over vehicles since walking ten feet would kill 'em anyway.
....you sound familiar, too... haven't we locked horns before?
