Does anyone think CA put out the Leak patch just to see if we like things.

[Budwise]

Okay, this just hit me as I was trying to turn off my computer so I will hurry up and post it. I believe it was done on purpose because even if the patch was accidently given out by one Link/mirror site and all the others held it in, CA still had to give the updated patch file TO THAT LINK. Because it just came out in one link I think it was leaked on purpose for us all to try out. If I wasn't 100% sure something was 100% completed, I wouldn't have even compiled it into a single installation file until I was sure. Someone compiled up the files, gave it to the leak and then put a big hush hush order on it. Like I stated before, this adds so much publicity and interest. Odds are, someone in this forum board will go to work and mention this to a coworker which could get them interested in the game. Also, they stated that the patch was comming out on this day and it wasn't ready yet. By doing this, they dont' look like liars. I believe they thought they were done, found a few things prior to reliease, did a quick compile job (Hence the new CTD bug on siege maps) and rushed it out but kept it small so only the dedicated M2TW diehards that read these boards would even find it. This way, the diehards will test it out and report back here with our findings, CA will read them and implement what improvements they feel that it needs without wasting the HUGE amounts of resources it takes to release patch 1.3. This way the moderate to light M2TW players who play this game won't get burned and quit because of all the bugs with the leaked 1.2 as well.

Sorry for the long post.
