I'm not seeing patches fixing everything that IMO are problems. I'm not 
sure if they can up the limit of bots to 32 or more with a patch, but 
that's a big one, , but, , if they don't add some gametypes, I have 
little use for it. The (lack of) Adrenaline system is another thing I 
doubt can be fixed with a patch, and even if it was, the maps would need 
  fixing also.

I spent more on this than '04 was when it came out, yet there is what 
feels like half the content, maybe less.
