Codemasters announced the details of the Day 1 Patch that is already available for their latest squad FPS game, Operation Flashpoint: Red River. According to Codemasters’ Community Manager, Helios, this patch brings the PC version into alignment with the console versions of the game. Riiiiiiiiiight. But hold on a second, at this point we have to wonder. Why on Earth wasn’t the PC version patched before release with all those features like the console version? Anyway, the patch should auto-update when you log in to GFWL and Steam. You can view the feature list after the jump!
