Splash Damage is happy. Quake Wars has received glowing reviews from publications and websites, and it should of. It’s a solid piece of FPS design in a season where there seems to be a lot of that going around.

Still, more was needed and they have obliged with the first patch/fix/update/insert favorite term here. The full round up is here, but for those who simply want to get back into shooting random people over the Internet, here’s the basic rundown:

-Full voice chat
-Game Balancing
-Ability to save passwords
-Log maintained of messaging
-Bugs fixed… lots of bugs

While nice, it’s becoming an irritation to consistently find developers hinging on patches to fix things. Seriously, save passwords? Why wasn’t this in the full store bought game?
