Title: Swarm Map Pack + PC Patch 3
Post by: Corporal Hicks on Mar 20, 2010, 09:33:17 AM

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:

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.....

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

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.

# 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.
# Watch out for the console patches soon.

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.

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. >:(

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

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