So it fixes one thing. Honestly I was expecting them to include advertisement in the game along the lines of "GO BUY 2142 YOU CHEAP ASSES -EA" or renaming guns to have the same names as their 2142 counterparts just to make indoctrination smoother later on.

Is it worth the trouble of patching all those servers for an issue that's been part of the game since day one and is easily remedied?
