Game patches these days

I'm pretty sick of some companies bringing out patches for games that total over 1GB. Take Medal of Honor Airborne. Patch 1.2 is 1.29GB, and so it takes me 20 minutes to extract it from the oh-so-useful .zip, then another 20 after I double click the icon for the thing to bloody do something!

I dont mind downloading multiple patches, but 1GB+ is way too much, especially if you have players who have strict download limits or dont have a fast connection. They cant play multiplayer, and they get stuck with an inferior game version that lacks the bugfixes the patches bring.

Just goes to show what a shambles the game was when it was released, the second patch is over 1 gig!
