I just checked the www.missionstudios.com website, and they will not have 
the platinum eddition until November.

I have two questions:

1.  Will the new patch be free for JF3 owners (NO)

2.  Can I make my own missions? (YES)

3.  Can I play ANY kind of multiplayer, modem, IPX, TCP/IP? 

This game is a little cheesy, but it stinks if there is no multiplay in it.
