Well... there's not sign of shieldpacktard or everyone's favorit bundle of negitive re-enforcment (aka, Panama Jack) in the thread... or on this page at any rate.
It might just survive.
Dude, just shh. Now they're going to spam this thread for sure.
http://community.vugames.com/WebX?14@177.9iBVef6pbkz.6@.1dd9300c/0 bah look what guy said 
Actually... what really blows about that is if it's just a corperate hangup, then the patch has prolly been final for awhile. That means that it was likely frozen and Irrational has been unable to work on it. In turn, this means that there won't be as much in there as we were hoping for...
This will lead to a round of yet more complaining, crying, rampent flaming, and invaribaly 100% sure Panama Jack will at one point say "I told you so" even though he was completely and utterly wrong about the reason.
Not incompatance, not VUG being evil to Tribes, not a lazy uncaring developer, but in the end it's flat out corprate bullshit that caused it. This would be our sociaty's damned fault... we make all these stupid rules and make business so damned complicated... and I could rant about this for hours.
Anyway, this does explain why there has been little communication. The Irrational boys couldn't say "Yes, we're working on it" simply because they weren't. Trying to expain why not would have been a minefield. One wrong word and BOOM more bullshazbot all over the place.
HOWEVER, for you moderates out there (those that have hope pinned on the patch but are likely either fuming or groaning right about now), let's try not to freak out. Two reasons. First, if there's a big stink made about over this, it's not going to help at all. Second, just because Irrational hasn't been working on this patch doesn't mean they haven't been toying with things in the mean time. VUG authorised and payed for A LOT of T2 patches... even after the game had stopped selling well. Maybe we'll be seeing more Irrational work. If not, maybe we'll see a internal VUG patch team.
Let's just say it this way:
All is calmest before the storm.
It's always darkest before daybreak.
Disclamer: This is all purely hypathetical. It's a best guess on the situation. It is quite possible that I'm wrong, but it fits the "facts" that we have now... few as they are.
