Upcoming Crysis 1.2 Patch Includes Multiplayer Balance Tweaks, Vehicle Fixes, More
In the first weekly Crysis update on Crytek's forum, community manager Alexander Marschal broke down some of the changes planned for Crysis (PC) in the forthcoming 1.2 update patch.
"The patch as itself is nearly finished from a content point of view." wrote Marschal in the update. "The test phase will last until EA's and Crytek's Quality Assurance departments are satisfied... we have to wait for additional feedback from both QA departments in order to set and announce a release date."
Notable changes include tweaked damage for players hit by cars at lower speeds and an automatic team balance mechanism for multiplayer matches. Team colors have been added to death and kill messages to more properly attribute in-game carnage. A list of known Crysis 1.2 patch changes follows.
