[lovekeiiy]

Ubisoft forum update link

A Title Update is now available for XBOX 360 fixing many of the issues communicated by you, the community, and includes many gameplay tweaks based on your feedback. Major props to everyone who has been communicating directly to me and posting on the forums with community feedback! It was YOU who helped us deliver.

PS3 & PC users have received optimizations and stability fixes in a patch available on launch day. An update for the PS3 with the same game tweaks is currently in the works as well.

Here is a list of what comes in the XBOX 360 Title Update:



>>> IMPROVEMENTS <<<


Weapon Switch
Swapping to & from Pistols are now faster in Multiplayer.

Sound Loops
Optimized sound bank to improve weapon firing and helicopter sound clips that loop over and over.

Pings
Servers now update their pings more often so that players have a more accurate value of server performance.

Team Leader Respawn Modification
Spawn Shield is shorter when respawning with the Leader.

XP Modifiers
When there are more people on a team than the other, there is an overall XP modifier applied to all XP gained during the game.

Outfitting
By pressing the start button, players now have access to the outfitting menu in observer mode.

Team Deathmatch Respawn Modification
Respawning in Team Deathmatch now work like regular Deathmatch (random points throughout the map) which intensifies gameplay and minimizes spawn camping/trapping.

Faster Respawns
Faster respawns for Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch. You no longer have to wait a full 10 seconds!

Custom Search
Players who enter a room using custom search then exit will be brought back to an automatic search with the same criteria.





>>> FIXES <<<

Rank Reset Glitch
Fixed. Players will be able to use their Xbox guide during the game loading without risk of losing their rank.

Private First Class - Achievement
If you are ranked Private First Class or above, you will automatically get the achievement after the title update is complete and you load your gamer profile.

Out of Map Glitch

The randon spawns in TDM have ruined it for me, completly sucks. This was my favorite game and TDM was my favorite game mode but its crap now with the random spawns. I tried to play tonight a while but just got so pissed because I kept gettn randomly shot in the back. Its no different than COD4 now!

I'm not a big fan of the new setup either for respawns. I didn't think there was a problem with it the way it was because of the spawn invincibility. I played for a couple hours today and it seemed like I kept spawning away from my teammates and in the middle of enemy territory. It also sucks when someone else spawns in front of you with full invincibility and shoots the crap out of you.

All games seem to resort to spawn camping after a while. You name it, Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, etc. Add this one to the list.

By the way, why do people play against the general public anymore? Seems to me that the friends list is there for that very reason, to prevent you from playing against all the tards out there.

I've not played with anyone that likes the randome respawn points, so I dont know why they changed them in the first place. Anytime i've been spawned trapped its because the other team is just better. Thats why they were able to trap us so I dont have a problem with it. If I get spawn trapped I just find another room thats more competitive. I do get a lil pissed when someone actually goes into the spawn area but with spawn protection there really just screwing thereselves.

IMO Spawn camping is one of the most annoying things when it comes to multiplayer games. Probably the worst instance of this would be the spawns on Blackout in Halo 3. One more than one occasion I have spawned literally in between three players of the enemy team, one time I even spawned in between an entire team to start the game. Its pretty outrageous when stuff like that happens.
