This is the most current info I could find, from 10 days ago: http://www.gamingbits.com/content/view/3605/2/

Maybe they ran into some problems and they are fixing them, I dunno. The patch is worth the wait though.

I was digging around IW's forums and saw this post from one of the staff:

Sorry there hasn't been any update on this patch recently, we haven't received any word from Sony since it went to Certification. Which is good news in a sense as that means it hasn't been rejected. So the patch is still moving along nicely through certification but we haven't received any new ETA.

I'll let you know if we hear anything.

i'm just about ready for this patch to finally get here. i'm so tired of kicking tail in a game and then getting booted cus the host leaves, or someone lags out. and i'm really ready for that scope fix, i shot a guy thrice in the head and all i got was a hit/juggernaught sign. i was pretty furious..

FINALLY!

patch is up. been playing for about an hour now, and I can REALLY tell the difference. every single time my crosshair is where it needs to be, my shot connects no problem. the patch comes complete with the whole "explosives killcam" thing, as well as a few minor other things. for example I noticed that when inside a large empty room, when you or a teammate says something (ie: "planting claymore!" or "tossing stun grenade!"), his dialogue "echoes" as it would in real-life in that setting. it's a very minute addition, but it's pretty cool that IW even came up with that.

They are talking about a game patch, NOT a firmware update.

i think the patch is great. i usually only play on team hardcore, but when i got the patch, i switched to groundwar just so i could see the new killcams. the airstrike is cool, but the grenade killcam is one of the coolest things ever. following the damn grenade till it explodes is awesome.

i also like being able to switch into first person veiw when spectating. that way i can actually see what theyre shooting at.

i agree, the patch is great. sniping works a whole hell of a lot better now, the new kill cams rock, and for once i'm actually doing good in search and destroy my only problem is that it doesnt seem to have fixed the host migration issue. i keep getting kicked from games and whatnot due to a host leaving a game. i thought this was one of the main issues the patch was going to solve? i'll keep hoping for the best.

as for now, i'm excited about the new maps coming out in the first of april :D

If you're in the middle of a game and the host quits, it will still end the game but it shouldn't kick you from the room. It will find a new host and then play again. It works for me, but there may still be problems with your patch. If it keeps up I would contact Infinity Ward on their forums. Their developers and code junkies are fairly active on there.
