This patch looks like it (if people still have the game) could possibly bring up a ladder discussion and what not, seeming that you can change player names and add tags now.

"Ok, guys. Here's the information on the Airborne v1.2 patch straight from Patrick Gilmore.

"Airborne:

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. Per family tradition, I spent mine in California Gold Country—highly recommended if you’re looking for someplace to spend your break next November.

First off, congratulate BlackHat. As of November 17, he is a father. I’m sure BabyHat will be posting here any day now.

In my last note, I promised to give you some details on the client-side patch we’ve been working on for December. I am happy to report the patch has gone alpha, and is currently in test and certification. I’ve been through dozens of playtests, and I’m convinced you’ll appreciate the improvements.

Among the new features are:

- Number of players has been raised to 24
- We’ve added 2 NEW MULTIPLAYER MAPS, Varsity and Market Garden, both built specifically with the increased player counts in mind
- Front end and score screens have been changed to handle the increased number of players
- Server lists are now much easier to navigate
- All weapons have been tuned and rebalanced
- Clan tag support has been added
- You can now assign yourself a player name which is different from your login
- Spawn points have been adjusted in all maps

As always, post questions and comments. We will integrate your feedback into future updates! Before the holidays, I’ll come back to you with another update.

Thanks.

PG"

I'll bring you more information on the release date, etc... as soon as I get it."
