From Harvard Bonin at the Generals forum:

Dear C&C Generals players,

Just a short update for interested parties.

1. Quick Match: Lately the server has been fairly unreliable and we sincerely apologize. We're taking steps to ensure that it gets up and stays up. We're diagnosing the servers themselves and also checking/testing code to see if its actually the matchbot. Either way, we'll let you know.

2. Patch 1.6: Not too many specifics at this time - other than that we plan on releasing one. The driving issue is how the game specifies ports for firewalls. There is a bug in this code that prevents some players from reliably setting ports in some instances. This should offer more reliable work arounds so most players can play games over Generals Online. There are also some balance tweaks (some are unit bugs) we're looking to do but we'll have more info on this later. We also hope to include some more multiplayer/skirmish maps. No release date yet but we expect to see it in the next few weeks.

3. Ladder Kit: This is in testing but other things are taking priority - primarily things noted in #2. We ARE working on it and it will come out asap.

4. Contests: Col Burt is working on some contests that will be announced onn generals.ea.com soon.

This sounds good... can't wait until its all that is finished!
