OPEN BETA PATCH NOTES: 1/3/13
 
OVERVIEW
 
Happy new year, mech pilots! This small update addresses some interface issues and improves map rotation.
 
GAMEPLAY
  • Maps cycle more evenly, appearing once every rotation.
  • Deathmatch mode limited to a maximum of 10 players.
INTERFACE
  • Test Drive mechs now clearly display the expiration date in the description.
  • Expired Test Drive mech icons now display a red background and ribbon.
  • FR0S-T1000 Repair Drone and Flurry Fury Thruster can now be previewed.
  • FR0S-T1000 Repair Drone and Flurry Fury Thruster banner text changed to “Rent” to clearly denote that they are rental items.
BUGS FIXED
  • FR0ST-T1000 ice trail and snowball effect tweaked.
  • Heat Cannon snow burst effect tweaked.

Nooooo Not less in deathmatch. We like our deathmatchs delightfully populated with targets.

Miss that one too! It had a cute little chicken decal on the side. I had to name my infiltrator Chicken Little because of it. Best chassis is best.

Google Translate comes up with this as "what?" so I can only imagine you're disappointed in the lack of balance adjustment.  Maybe you're just really irked at the rental thing.  Who knows?  What indeed.

Darn, I thought that Meteor would be adding more mechs. Still, good job on improving the game.

Cool news, looking forward to more! Max 10 in DM is way cool, as is the map rotation, I've lost count of how many times it's just Origin, Uptown, Origin, Uptown etc.
