I was thinking of getting back into the game but apparently the patch is 1GB and it still hasn't fixed the knife!

I heard that if you try to use the knife it actually stabs you the player instead!

Is the patch worth downloading?! Is it worth it just for the hilarity of the self-inflicting knife?!

And remember kids!! An Hour of Modern Warfare 2 a day keeps BAD Company away!

It did fix the knife, no idea what you're talking about. It's worth downloading if you're a fan, but it kinda changed the whole feeling of the game, they didn't have to go that far and it was pretty much the last I could stand, uninstalled it. MW 2 will do no such thing, it's worse than BAD Company.

I downloaded the patch, and now realize while it took so long. The knife is still slightly flawed with connecting from distances, but I would say it's an improvement and would recomend getting the patch.

Definitely worth downloading it. The main improvement for me isn't even listed in the patch notes, which is that it finally fixes the server browser. You can now view Pings in the server browser without needing to run the game as an administrator, and the pings shown are actually correct now! No more clicking on a 50 ping server and ending up in a 500 ping server!

fixed the hit-boxes and most connection related lag (rubber banding etc.), the rest of the changes aren't terribly significant. I just started playing again today and its been good so far.

Now I realized that I'm not getting pins ( when I should be) and my kills/deaths in rounds are transferring over. Anyone else having the same problem?

Don't know what you mean by "it kinda changed the whole feeling of the game." It still plays the same, only this time its less cheap and actually works.

The changes made it feel less dynamic now it feels more like CS and I'm not a fan of CS. Movement is stiff and it's too accurate now, but it's nice that you can kill people faster even on normal servers.

I believe they got a new chat log to. You can see what the person wrote before without going away, and you can write more. It's kinda like Counter Strike Source chat.

It didn't change the feeling of the game at all, you just got bored with it.

The movement is also the same, and CS?? I have no idea where you got that feel from the game.
