Resistance 2 1.4 Patch out Today

Posted on 26. Jan, 2009 by Freak_c in News, Patches

A new update patch from Insomniac to fix most of the little bugs in the game. No not the actual bugs in those nest you see scurrying around rather the bugs in the games code.

One key problem is the reset of experience during online play, rendering players at Level One after sessions of hard experience earning. Thankfully, the patch will bump you back up to your appropriate level and allow you to keep all of your EXP that you earned post-reset as well.

The patch also fixes the glitch that prevents gamers from receiving their 10,000 kill Trophy. This fix will be retroactive, so you will not be expected to reach that milestone once more in order to achieve it.

Here is the rest of the patch details below.

Trophy/Medal/Ribbons

* “Salute Me” trophy is not awarded until player reaches level 31 (Lieutenant)
* “Berserker” trophy can be collected during non-ranked games
* “Survivor” medal can be collected in cooperative games
* “Sure Shot” ribbon is awarded if player has accuracy of exactly 50%

Clans

* Added clan support for viewing members, sending invites, and setting up clan tags
* Default clan region is now USA

Match Balancing

* Unbalanced ranked games are cancelled in staging before the game is started
* Parties are prevented from matchmaking into free-for-all Deathmatch games

Competitive

* Balanced the chance of dropping large ammo pickups in competitive games
* Core Control scoreboard displays “Kills”

Cooperative

* Balanced the amount of XP gained by the Medic class in cooperative games
* Stalker movement enabled in cooperative games
* Small ammo pickups don’t give LAARK ammo in cooperative games

Weapons/Gameplay

* Splash damage on Pulse Cannon can damage the player firing it

* Fire is easier to shake off
* Players cannot swap weapons in the middle of a melee attack

Miscellaneous

Not a bad update at all, I hope it is not too big a download. News Source.
