This is the long awaited patch for those of you who enjoyed Postal 2 but simply could not stand the load times.
Not only does it resolve those lengthy transitions between parts of the towns but tons of new content is added as well including an intricate sewer system full of Middle Eastern terrorists. New difficulty levels, new cheats, more bloodshed, it's all included. Read below for a full listing of changes:
New Additions:
- New Level: "Obligatory Sewer System" - seweriffic fun and leads to other
areas of the map.
- New Level: "Tora Bora" - secret cave hideout of the Taliban.
- New Weapon: The WMD - only available in the Tora Bora map.
- New Difficulty: "Insane-o" - extra hard mode with ALL bystanders armed to the
teeth.
- New Difficulty: "They Hate Me" - even harder mode where anyone with a weapon
automatically hates the player on sight.
- New Cheat: "Headshots" - one shot to the head kills.
- New Cheat: "BoppinCats" - cats ricochet after shot off guns. Turn it off with
"SplodinCats".
- New Cheat: "NowWeDance" - scissors machinegun. Don't forget the second 'w'!
- Added in-game cheat menu after you beat the game once.
- Game difficulty for each save is now displayed on save/load menus.
- Dead bodies can be decapitated (if they still have a head) by the shotgun or
shovel.

New Changes:
- Level transitions are MUCH faster.

- Dude's 'get down' radius is larger.
- Shotgun slightly stronger, pellet count increased, and imparts a little more
momentum.

- Postal Dude deals slightly more damage with all weapons.
- As Difficulty is increased, damage NPC's can deal out is increased instead of
increasing their max health.
