The new patch is out on Monday and these are the things that will be in cluded in it:


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

* Loadouts can be disabled in the “Create Game” screen in competitive games
* Balanced the chance of dropping large ammo pickups in competitive games
* Core Control scoreboard displays “Kills”
* Improved scoreboard formatting

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
* Rossmore reticule better reflects its accuracy
* Fire is easier to shake off
* Players cannot swap weapons in the middle of a melee attack

Miscellaneous

* Localized text updates
* Network message optimizations
* EULA displays the correct language text for Norwegian, Finnish, Swedish and Danish


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.

Insomniac have really pulled their finger out their arse here eh? Best change is how the medic gets 'balanced' xp now.

nice list of updates :) I don't get what they mean with the EULA though? Does it mean you can play the game with danish text?

I think I would've flipped out if I was one of the ones who had gotten 10k kills and no trophy, lol. Glad they're fixing that though.

I'm glad this has got a lot of posts but what I really wanted from the patch was to make it harder to get 40s but I they didn't change that :/

I didn't really notice a difference...other than the fact that when you die it says who killed you on the right instead of the center, lol.

I guess that's a good thing as I wasn't really bothered at all about anything anyways.

The only thing I noticed was the stalker movement.

My medic still stormed away with loads of xp

I've actually noticed that I get secondary ammo for the carbine much less. Maybe I've just not been very lucky though.

Anyways, I use the Bullseye now and have gotten quite good with it.

i think you level up easier in competitive now

20 has been so much easier than 19(which i was pre-the update)
