Providing patches through digital distribution methods isn't as clear cut as simply making files available for download. Here's what was posted in a thread on the STEAM forums:

This particular patch got held up by a last minute bug w/Steam integration that Activision QA hit. As soon as the problem was identified and we knew the scope of it as well as the root cause we were able to get it resolved and get Activision QA to sign off. We know it was a bad experience for many of you who were anxious to start playing the new version and we are truly sorry for that. We'll be doing everything we can to improve the patch release process and avoid last minute delays in the future but we can't promise that they will ever be entirely eliminated. -jmccaskey

I will say that STEAM could have posted a notice stating that it was being worked on and why the delay rather than be silent about the issue. A little information goes a long way.

Now the STEAM forum will likely be flooded with posts asking why it's taking so long to download...

That was the point, it was apparently well-loved.

I must just suck at the internet today. I can't find a standalone patch for it anywhere. Any clues? This is one game I refuse to register with steam.
