Took their damn time, didn't they.

Well, this is some degree of progress, at least.

No details of what's included in said patch are thereby mister Barrie? Who wants to place money on the binary for the new patch working just like the old one and us needing to install in some weird order again..sigh

Believe it when I see it.

I think there's something about a 2142 version of Blue Pearl, Northern Strike becoming free, and hopefully the game coming out on Steam.

Probably just a bunch of wishful conjecture, but hey, it's possible. In terms of game balance, I guess I just wish the Voss did way less damage...maybe a Clark fire rate nerf too. That weapon doesn't bug me as much, but sometimes the rate at which you can blast away at some guy seems cheap. Once I got four guys in a row with it, and they weren't coming one by one...some equipment changes would be nice too, like buffing the Assault shotty attachment but nerfing the rockets. Or maybe making the Gruber sniper scope stabilizer a better option somehow.

That's what I read to. Also, there are, apparently, two other maps, in addition to Blue Pearl, that are being released and there's a rumor of a new Titan map. All the secuROM stuff is being removed to and I'm pretty sure that it's going to be released on Steam (hopefully).

Eeeeeee. This is something to be excited about. I hope they get the Verdun Titan fix! That has to be my favorite titan map... Too bad about the glitch -tear-
