New Update Inc.

Looks good. Not a fan of SMGs. But the Animations on them look really good.

Render distance tweaks. I presume is what the main servers have and will be rolled out to the others.

And Misc is station shop stuff?

It's fucking nothing.

Hroradi · 2013-02-20, 04:55 AM

That looks like "misc. optimizations". So performance, not station shop. :P

Why the annoyance? We already know that the next larger update will be at the start of next month.

Most of these are bug fixes and obviously necessary.

This seems more of a hotfix material than a full pledged GU, IMO.

Yay for render distance change!

DirtyBird · 2013-02-20, 07:08 AM

Every little bit helps.
So long as the stuff that gets broken from it is minimal.

Hossin is on the roadmap for April, though there's a chance it could be delayed of course.

Useless arguing over semantics. It's a a download that has new guns and bug fixes. Call it what you want, im happy as long as the roadmap comes along smoothly with this.

Thank you finally someone who shares my same thought. So tired of ungrateful people (not the people on this thread specifically but people in general) whining over the size of an update or patch. We just had a giant one last month, and yes it'd be wonderful if giant updates came out all the time but they just simply don't.

As long as PS2 is getting constant updates, no matter the size, and improving the game for everyone, then I'm happy. There is not going to be 1 miracle patch that fixes the whole freakin game. I think that is what people are expecting. They're thinking "when is the patch that'll finally fix the game come out?" It's being fixed in many, many patches continuously.
