If anyone's interested:

TITLE UPDATE #2 CONTENTS:

Vista Only:
01) Fixed various issues that could cause dedicated server crashes / hard locks.
02) You can now save your dedicated server settings.
03) You can now exit the game properly even if you don't / can't sign in.
04) If you're not connected to Live, buttons that you can't use unless connected are grayed out.
05) Fixed some user interface and messaging issues on the Live menus.
06) Added ability to cap bandwidth on a dedicated server.
07) Users playing on a DS will no longer show up as hosting it.
08) Clicking the PARTY button in a DS lobby as a silver player will no longer kick you.
09) Fixed a crash issue with certain graphics cards.
10) Fixed multiple small UI / presence issues.
11) Party options are no longer broken after party leader has been switched.
12) Added mirrored sessions to dedicated server. Silver players will now show up on the recently played list of Gold players.

Vista and 360:
- Big ticket items:
13) Implemented improvements to matchmaking. We expect a 200-300% improvement in wait times. We've also added clearer status messaging.
14) Improved sync times. When a new player joins a game, the synching wait will be reduced.
15) Made changes to improve party system. Parties should be split less now, and when splitting is absolutely necessary, we attempt to regroup the party later.
16) You may now use the artifact to clear bodies in Attrition.
17) Fixed some potential exploit issues. No, we're not going to elaborate on this.

- General
18) Fixed various issues that could result in soft locks or crashes.
19) Fixed a problem that could cause game to be stuck at sync screen indefinitely.
20) Fixed a problem with the Unstoppable achievement. And there was much rejoicing.
21) Smartlink HUD will now show up with controllers #2, #3, and #4.
22) Players won't get kicked for inactivity if they're still in the lobby when the game starts.
23) You should be less likely to cycle to a small version of a map if you have a lot of players.
24) Fixed some errors in localized text for Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.
25) You should get clearer feedback when attempting to join a full game via the guide.
26) Changed some of the achievement descriptions to make goals clearer.
27) Dwarf hint text is now correct. (They CAN be unawared - just not headshotted.)

- Bots
28) Bots on Dig Site are not so determined to kill themselves in the Sacrifice Pit now.
29) Bots in Raid games will emphasize flag pickup towards the end of rounds.
30) Bots should no longer be so fascinated with walls.
31) Bots no longer look at a flag carrier that can't be seen rather than threats that can be seen.
32) Public match fill bots should now support the team better.

I don't have the game, always meant to get it, but I never did for some reason. This cracked me up though:

28) Bots on Dig Site are not so determined to kill themselves in the Sacrifice Pit now.
Did they just run for it to die?!

Dont like the fact now that in Attrition you can clear bodies with the Artifact think that spoils that game mode a bit.

But they need to fix the disconnecting problem the game has. Oh and if you are in a party and your mate who is hosting the party gets disconected the whole party gets disconected they need to fix that as well.

Oh and they need to put a star next to the persons name who is hosting the game because i have been in a few games where the host has been not that good, and the annoying americans who play this game just decide to kick the person then the game has to be restarted or you get disconected.

The ability to kill bodies with Artifact is fine....due to the fact the opposing team can see where the Artifact carrier is...they now have a choice to either confront the carrier to save their team or be a ---- and let teammates die to save themselves.

I don't get disconnected much at all and isn't only the Party Leader who drags the whole party out of a game?

I think it's better that for the most part host is anonymous...if you know who's hosting you won't try to kick them even if they're being a complete idiot.
