I thought devs would release a patch each friday!
Does anyone know when will the next patch be released?

Well they went from thinking it was about release ready to totally resetting their schedule. I'm sure there were some hard to sit-through meetings at the company and some hard-feelings somewhere. If the dev team is in a good mood I'd be surprised.
At the bare minimum they'd need to do some analysis/reflection and maybe even public testing (that's us) to see exactly what needs changing or needs to be added. (that takes time) then they'd need to set up an internal roadmap/goal sheet with prioritized items and some that are "secondary" and then dole those assignments out to qualified devs, who only then begin to get started on the changes.
Then, before the changes get released they go through internal code QA and testing, and possibly keep getting changed until they feel the change is good. No one wants to re-do the same system, weapon, grenade, etc 5 separate times.
Give it another week probably before another patch comes out. No promises it will even be a large one.

I sure hope it reads:
1.) Optimize
2.) Redo AI
The AI was crap in the old game too, and is practically identical to that in this game. I seriously doubt they're going to make any leaps or bounds in their AI's abilities in the next month...
@amurka I hope they do by December though... its honestly a big stain on the whole game.
May be their knowledge is limited and NWI needs an external programmer team which could do the coding for a more state of the art A.I.
The A.I. really acts unsatisfactory at this point.
