Also, you gotta remember that the patch will have black/red outs and custom mapped controls and such..

You are right, nobody has really come out and confirmed all the updates. So Ive taken the update list of fixes (minus PS3 exclusive updates) and put confirmed for everything that has been confirmed by a PS3 BoP user, or unknown for things I haven't yet heard anybody talk about. PS3 guys if you can help us out by confirming the unknowns and adding anything extra, then I can edit this post with your info. I'm sure it would be much appreciated by all us frustrated 360 users. Thanks



•Controls remapping (custom layout). confirmed on PS3 patch but zoom doesn't work on sim
•Changed MP kills scoring system. Suicide will always reduce score; crash (or bailout) soon (one minute) after signifficant damage will score to shooter; crash (or bailout) after 12 seconds after being hit even lightly will score to shooter. confirmed scoring change on PS3 but unawarded kills still happens although less often

Hmmm I think that was just a rumur that someone posted although it could very well be true. I don't think Anton has posted anything since the PS3 update launched. So nobody knows anything which is the problem really and why people are getting up tight. If anton or one of the other devs came here and said something like " There has been a problem, the xbox patch my come out later than you expected maybe by a month". Yes we would still be pissed off, but at least then we would have proper knowlage of what is happening and then the Constant bitching here would decrease x100.

I'm sure the developers are very busy but it takes very little time to post here or in the yuPlay forum. Even stating that you know nothing but the fact that it has been sent to the Publishers and its now out of your hands, is better than nothing at all. Its the nothing that is causing all this baddness. Please devs, give us some info and halt this badness.

Thats where im sure i read it Im sure it was anton who said it in one of the PS3 patch threads. I've tried looking through all his posts etc but got bored after reading the same thing over and over again.

Well I read his previous posts and the last he spoke about the 360 patch was Dec 1 saying he was already talking to publishers about the 360 patch. ("already" lol) this was 6 days before PS3 patch release.

Over at the YuPlay BoP forum its just as dead info wise and a Developer hasn't posted in their own forum for yonks. Strange thing is Anton is regularly posting in the Wings of Prey forum (even on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve? thats the holiday exuse out the window then)
I'm Sorry but it does give the impression, that Anton IS actually avoiding all the questions asked to him, both here (If he still reads here) and on the YuPlay BoP forum. If that is true and why that is? only he can say. I did have respect for him but that has lessened quite a bit now.

Yes he may not be obliged to post here on this forum. But when you set up your own forum (YuPlay BoP forum) for giving information and answering technical questions about BoP, it is very bad to then abandon it without any explaination.

I was never able to create a YuPlay user acount (tried once and it failed, tried again and it said my email is already used. Pretty bad forum design if you ask me) so i've been a lurker since the begining.

If someone else with a usable YuPlay acount could PM him, that could be helpfull, let him know this lack of info is brewing up some bad shit

I can confirm this after using it to get a few unlocks - it's a one man tank now.

It was Gunny that posted that from something he read on another XBox forum. He has always maintained it wasn't concrete, but coupled with the lack of official information it's not looking good. Who would want to come on here and tell everyone the patch isn't coming?

Thanks dude

I hope this isn't all for nothing. Well at least its useful for PS3 users aswell I guess.

[FOZ_1983]

I couldnt create an account for the yuplay forum either. Dont mind though as i get all the info on this one to so its all good.

To hear anton is posting in another forum frequently though is a little dissapointing to hear, maybe he's just not got the nerve to post that the 360 patch is a no go.

I think from what im reading is -

The 360 patch went to Q/A and failed for one reason or another, Anton and co have business elsewhere and cant afford to commit to sorting out this patch so have just given up with it. I was willing to say (in agreement with seraph) that this was due to the holiday perido etc, but to hear he has been posting frequently elsewhere gives us reason to worry maybe??

Time will tell. Lets see how we get on.
