Quake 4 1.1 Patch release: 03/27/2006 1:00pm EST

There has been definitive word from SyncError that the 1.1 patch will be released on Monday the 27th at 1:00pm Eastern/12:00pm Central time. There are still some things that have to be added to the changelog, but it does not appear that there are a ton of core gameplay changes included in this patch. It looks as if it is mainly intended to bring the game to where it should have been at release. From what I understand, we can expect the 1.2 patch to be on an accelerated release schedule and that patch should have more of the gameplay changes the community is looking for.
