    the game is well balanced. If you're playing someone that you consider an extremely good player then you're probably dying a lot because of that - not because of an exploit.

    There's a huge skill gap between MNC players. If you feel that a player is exploiting something like level 3 bombs (i dont think these are OP, but a lot of others do) or even juice then chances are it's because your whole team is not doing enough to keep that pro under control and to establish + keep map control.

    MNC is filled with a lot less lucky BS and flukes than games like CoD and Halo. You have a lot more control over your character's survival rate. If the teams are pretty balanced (i know...they rarely are, and that's the real issue here if you think about it) then most of your deaths are probably due to your own mistakes and not because of a class exploiting it's main skills.

    If you are playing against players that are much better than you...then it probably comes down to just getting outplayed. It's been said 1000 times here, any class is capable of absolute murder in the right hands, against the right players.

    I only see unbalanced teams/individual players' skill gaps, not unbalanced classes.

    TL;DR Version: The class isn't overpowered, you just surrounded by the worst players to have ever popped out of female anatomy.

    I've been patient and I just want to hear that they are at least planning to submit some of the updates PC has already got to MS. I mean I know they don't like giving out dates since the Spunky Cola DLC, but I just glanced at the 360 & PC update threads and we haven't got an update since November. I mean really? I even convinced a friend to recently pick up the game up, and he loves it despite me telling him numerous times I wouldn't waste the money, because the support isn't there, even though it's a great game.

    Anyways that's not why I decided to hit the reply button, I'm just curious when at the earliest we could expect at least a new patch to arrive for the 360, or are you planning to send it in one bulk order to MS? I mean, again I think I've been more than patient as my post count is so low I never come here and bother anyone, I just read what's up and continue with my life. So I would hope that the next time we see an update isn't November of this year. That would be a joke...

    I guess people will never realize Microsoft plays favorites over the titles that make then the most money.

    As for an update Uber has already reached their 4mb limit on patch updates so that means they will either have to work out some deal with Microsoft to increase their patch size limit or include it within the DLC.

    Uber is in the process of upgrading the Unreal Engine so we will not see an update until that is done. If you like you can keep an eye on the PC updates and once they get the Engine update an XBox update shouldn't be too far behind.

    Not to spoil anyone's dreams but at this rate it just might come out around Q4 of this year.

    Bottom line is Steam lets developers basically update and upgrade at their discretion, while in the case of Microsoft it's in their terms at their time.

    Do other people join this forum, and just want to think that Uber Entertainment chooses not to update the XBox platform? I mean, those people other than me?

    Let me answer your question, with another question. Who here would choose not to update something that was easy to update? If Uber Entertainment was able to update their game without bending over with their pants down, I am sure they would. I mean, why not?

    I wouldn't update this game if it meant I had to bend over. You guys are out of your minds. All of your $15 isn't worth that. Last time I checked, that cost ran around the neighborhood of $110.

    Well, it's just fifteen, you shouldn't be mean, that would be unseen. Microsoft just wants the green.

    they should have waited to put out a game that fully works and made sure everything was in place for them to update the game and done better testing for glitches but no they sold people a faulty game to make a better version for pc. ******* NOOB OF A COMPANY!!!!!! I'm officially done with this company

    Out of curiosity, how many other people have gotten a red ring from MNC?

    Please use some punctuation.

    Also how were they to know that all of their ideas would not be expressible in 4mb of data. Its a small company and ideas for a game don't come at once.

    Bye then.

    4mb of data? Really?

    I am absolutely CERTAIN that there are tons of games, including XBLA that go past this limit. I'm so sure of it.

    as i said before , developers have to jump through microsoft's hoops when they update their products

    in example,file size limits.

    No matter how many times anyone tells them, they know it all and will not listen to anyone including developers.

    IIRC Brink had to have a patch on day 1 of release and is in need of another patch to make the 8 player mode actually playable (lag is the issue, am i right, Brink players?).

    Bottom line is that sh!t happens, no matter how wealthy, talented, or patient a company is.

    I appreciate the coherent response. I'm choosing to ignore the other replies as everyone develops spontaneous illiteracy when something doesn't "jive" with them. I understand the whole issue with MS and it's, for lack of better wording, patch inspection process, but still think it's pretty nuts that it takes this long to even get some class tweaks. However, you said they hit their cap so whatever...

    I think it's kinda lame if MS plays favorites and lets other dev's cut in line, because they are one of the cool kids, but again, whatever...

    Hopefully we will see an update or some DLC in the near future, however I really hope it isn't at Christmas time, a year between updates seems a bit ridiculous.

    All that in mind, I think MNC is one of the best games ever made. I have more than got my monies worth and played the hell out of it. I seriously can't wait till the new DLC comes out, and hopefully sooner than later. However, I really wish the minor class fixes that PC has got would come to Xbox Live, but oh well. Until then I guess I'll just continue my estranged love affair with MNC. :S

    I thought MNC used the same netvar thing that brink/mortal kombat does that allows them to tweak without patching. I could be very wrong here.

    I think you could be right - I'm sure we had a Christmas Bullseye

    They do but it's only values of certain things. Such as the amount of damage the S.Launcher Grapple does and so on. It can't really be used to update or patch the game.

    For Example in Gears of War they use it for Double XP weekends and such.

    I still haven't found any game that isn't completely bug free and no glitches whatso ever. Be thankful that they have updated and patched an arcade game, and like DeadStrech has said (and probably other people have as well) this game isn't top prioty for Microsoft to update AND Uber have to update their Unreal engine. They only have 14 (I think this is right, not so sure) people make MNC, so it's not like they can update games at uber speed.

    Uber is now 17 strong with the addition of Darran Hurlbut. Funny thing is they are mostly artists. :lol:

    MNC's art must be really important. :p
