Hey --
Thanks for the message. The Patch is currently going through test here at Infinity Ward, before it goes to Microsoft for certification. At the moment we're doing tests mainly on the Host Migration as we're in perfectionist mode. The patch is working, the new kill cams look amazing, the sniper rifles and ACOG scopes are more accurate, and the host migration does it's job, however there are still a few minor bugs we're addressing and optimizations we're making to ensure it's perfect.
While waiting for anything sucks, we want to make sure that we make it perfect before sending it to you guys rather than rush something that creates more problems, or doesn't improve everything we wanted to improve.
We make progress on it everyday, quality assurance is hammering away on it, and we've been doing take home tests after work to play on it at home even so we can have the most testing time as possible (even after work). The good news is the longer it's been here the better and better it's getting and the more minor improvements that are going on and being made to the netcode in general of the game than even planned for.
So when you do get the patch, it's going to make a lot of improvements to general gamplay overall as well as the originally intended fixes. As always feel free to let me know any questions or feedback you have, I'll try to answer what I can but there's no ETA on these kinds of things, they''re finished when they're finished as you never know what Testing might bring up that needs fixing before it goes out.
Thanks for your patience guys, and I can promise you that we're doing everything we can to make it perfect and shipped out to you as fast as possible.
As for future maps, I can't confirm anything or what may or may not becoming, but I can say that we're always looking for new places to fight and working on some cool stuff. More details to follow on that.
