Even if the 1.4 patch is out tonight, there will be thousands of people down loading the patch. So the down load speed will drop to like having a dial up modem ! ! ! !
The last patch 1.3 i down loaded at work while i was working. Still took nearly 3 hours !

Anyone noticed it says 1.4 Final patch. Probably means final rather than Beta rather than Final as in no more patches but who knows ?

^^ :D
I was to excited. Although this nurfing of prone to crouch is scarey, i hope it don't have a bad effect on trooping as that is pretty much all i do these days.

People are already reporting connection problems, not sure if that's because the servers aren't patched yet or the main issue still exists :(

Multiplay haven't patched there servers fully yet, they are still in the process.

They wouldn't update them until it was official by EA to use the server side patch.
