Swarm Map Pack + PC Patch 3
AvP Game News | Posted by Corporal Hicks on 20 Mar 2010 09:33 GMT

Over the last day, Sega has been releasing the first DLC pack, Swarm Map Pack, over the various platforms. All platforms should now have the pack so if you only got the standard edition, now is your chance to get those extra 4 maps. As well as that, the latest patch for the PC has been released. A few of the fixes are:

  • In multiplayer damage from the Predator’s Smart Disc has been reduced, unless it’s a headshot.
  • In multiplayer minor hits from the Predator’s Plasma Caster bolts will no longer knock down enemies.
  • When joining a dedicated server on which a round is in-progress you now have a limited time to choose your species/team and skin before entering the game, if the game mode and server settings allow this.

For the entire list of fixes, you can check out our forums. I’d like to thank Rebellion and Sega for continuing to support the game. Watch out for the console patches soon. Thanks to Prosessori.

wtf this all awesome but where are the xbox 360 patches we could really use these rebellion like now!


stemot | 20 Mar 2010 12:12

The patch still hasn’t hit steam


Corporal Hicks | 20 Mar 2010 12:22

These things take time.


XxecutionerxX | 20 Mar 2010 12:46

Yes! Finally.


Mr. Weyland | 20 Mar 2010 13:16

Well, they have to tend the needs to the PC gamers first, because they complain the most because they are the ‘real’ gameres out there.


Pete Script | 20 Mar 2010 13:52

Lol, Whatever you say Mr Wayland but I think you will find alot of us console lot started as PC gamers but got fed up paying hundreds of £/$ every year upgrading the damn thing.


Spoon | 20 Mar 2010 13:52

Wow I thought it was cool the plasma caster knocks down people


Mr. Weyland | 20 Mar 2010 14:34

@ Pete Script

I do now what I am saying, I just spent 3 years studying games design at University, and from what I have learned and been told by game designers, PC gamers are more demanding and serious, I am also a little bit of PC gamer, so I don’t argue which is better when I know that PC is always superior. You said you are tired of spending hundred every time a console comes out, but how often are you upgrading your PC, most cost a bit in the long run, when you think about it.


Mr. Weyland | 20 Mar 2010 14:39

Looks like I said it the other way around, what I meant to say was what you said ‘Pete Script’ though PC games are better, they do cost a lot to keep updating.


JediMasterGabe | 20 Mar 2010 15:13

Yea where is Xbox’s updates? I played a game yesterday where this guy used the smart disc for at least 30-35 of his 40 kills.


JediMasterGabe | 20 Mar 2010 15:14

And then he called Me a noob when I called him on it!


Goreblaster | 20 Mar 2010 16:03

map pack still not on eu psn -_-


Luke | 20 Mar 2010 18:04

Console patchs now! Oh and i love what their doing to the disc. I cant believe that they are now just realizing how overpowered that thing is


=EC= Praetorian | 20 Mar 2010 20:56

@luke
i know right lol
also the plasma cannon nerf is good 2 thank god i hate been shot by that thing and knowing theres nothing i can do about it cause it takes about 5 secs to get back up -_-


Anonymous | 20 Mar 2010 21:56

WHy the fuck didnt my goddamn comment post?


David | 20 Mar 2010 22:33

So when are they going to fix the Windows 7 freezing issue? I managed to complete the pred campaign, but only just.. every few minutes it’d freeze randomly for about 5-10 seconds… became extremely infuriating.


nogueira | 20 Mar 2010 23:46

So they fixed 1/10th of the problems in this buggy game and they want us to pay 6 euros for maps??? How about make some dedicated ranked servers and also allow joining ongoing ranked games for starters, than we’ll talk. OH and make alien auto transition on surfaces…..


David | 21 Mar 2010 10:30

Nogueira:
Alien CAN auto-transition on surfaces. It’s in the options.


nogueira | 21 Mar 2010 10:47

Thx for the tip! But I am right on the rest ;)


Pete Script | 21 Mar 2010 11:18

Thanks Mr Weyland! I just like knowing whatever I buy will definitely work. That is until the damn thing gets the ring of death again. lol


Pete Script | 21 Mar 2010 20:09

Does anyone know if the 3 exclusive skins from the hunter/survivor will be released as dlc too?


ROFLrawrDinosor | 21 Mar 2010 20:14

Its been a wile since they made an indapendant Predator game, what ever happend to Predator Concrete Jungle 2


Bone collector | 21 Mar 2010 21:35

I honestly felt bad for people I killed with the disk but I manage headshots with that anyways so no problem for me.But I gravitate towarrds the cannon anyways.Actually if you get a head shot with it you should at least decapitate them.


xAncientOne | 21 Mar 2010 22:19

Console updates already please :undecided:


=EC= Praetorian | 21 Mar 2010 22:48

Bone dont use plasma or disk be a man use a wristblade and spears


Corporal Hicks | 22 Mar 2010 00:46

Absolutely love the new maps. Hive is fan-fuckung-tastic.


CocaColaMan | 22 Mar 2010 02:11

Not buying this until the games Online is fixed for xbox360. :angry:


six | 22 Mar 2010 07:21

swarm map packs on steam now :shocked:

If they reduce the Smart-Disc Damage on console i quit playing the game. I hate all this “mimimi Predator’s Disc is to strong and Plasma Caster can always knock me down mimimi” he’s the Predator, deal with it.


Widz | 22 Mar 2010 15:53

Total bullshit the disc &caster power has been reduced. Its ALWAYS the Aliens who win. Is there a patch to stop their ridiculous tail hit that means you cant move &they get another ‘free’ hit-No. A patch to stop the same Alien running across the map at warp speed and killing me as I re-spawn and cant move?-No. What a joke. :angry:


nogueira | 22 Mar 2010 19:53

If you have Predator and you cant pwn them aliens you are doing it wrong I am afraid :wink: .


Xenoexpert | 23 Mar 2010 03:34

True the Predators do seem to have an ongoing advantage and require less skill


Fear the Doctor | 24 Mar 2010 07:48

I play as the alien and get rinsed regularly. Fair enough, I win more than I lose :evil:
