Many of their improvements have directly targeted (or attempted to target, at least) most of our core complaints with the game on launch, such as awful connectivity problems and quite bad AI. The game has certainly improved since our review, though we haven't yet officially taken another look at it in its current state.

The Hold is a new map taking place on a large cargo ship. Long range combat spaces (such as, you know, the cargo area), are mixed in with small close quarters combat areas like stairwells and passageways. 

Thankfully seven patches later things seem to be on the up and up and developer Serellan continues to listen to community feedback to tweak and improve their game.

According to the latest update from Serellan there were connection issues on Xbox Live as well as an issue with USB storage and party invites. The network connectivity issues that were present on PC are not present on Xbox thankfully, it's a completely different path, but still there are a whole different set of problems on the console. The delay though is causing an additional benefit, Serellan is rolling in many of the improvements that PC version of the game has gotten since it's launch into the Xbox version.

Along with the patch, it seems the game's publisher, 505 Games, have gifted free copies of the game to owners on Steam to gift to their friends. This is great for co-op gamers and should help build up a great user base of folks to play with. 

Certification, a process in which a game must be validate for a console, has been a bit of a hot topic this generation - especially for Microsoft. Numerous developers, many familiar with the quick natured turn around time of the PC, found the certification process slow, tiresome, and excessive. Whether Microsoft changes some of these policies for the Xbox One remains to be seen, but it should note that certification isn't bug checking but rather platform checking. Basically to be certified the game has to meet a few requirements that have to do with user interaction, how menus behave, how the game handles error states and the like. 

Here’s a gameplay trailer showing some of that super sneaky handiwork in action.
