I would really like to see an exact port of Divide from MC3, and a map that's from the second campaign bit in China or wherever it is.
I believe it'll be just in a cap raise, not a prestige style system. That doesn't mean that style of system won't eventually come, but as far as I know this update doesn't include anything like that. Each team decides if controller support would benefit the game and when they have the resources to include it in the game. For Asphalt 8, the team prioritized that feature and included it. I'm not saying that GTR2 and MC5 wouldn't benefit from having controller support in any way, it's just the respective game teams had other features that they prioritized for launches and updates. From what I've seen they will be maps that have been given a facelift. Again, that's just for this update, it doesn't mean brand new maps won't eventually appear!
I'm guessing the update will be the week before the AppStore shuts down for Christmas, probably going to release with Brothers In Arms 3.
Probably, they keep announcing and teasing more things that their adding, so it will probably be a while still, I could be wrong though.
I'm really concerned about whether they'll be able to pull off adding so much stuff at once without introducing new bugs. One update for each of the features may have been a better strategy. It would have given us time to report any issue rather than risking a potential cluster��������. Also I'm keeping my fingers crossed for bug fixes being included in this update (which they should according to Rip73).
Does anyone know how the new perks will be implemented? Will you be able to get them through SP points?
I saw a photo that was tweeted by the Gameloft Community Manager and the four little perk things were lined up in a box at the top right of the screen, next to the weapon selection box ingame, so my speculation is that it could be something that you can activate ingame, maybe depending on your class, like each class has one or something along those lines, maybe it's a once in a game power up or something. EDIT: The photo also has a Christmas skin on a VIP, the VIP bag is red and green and the guy has a red nose and so on, you can also see little presents dotted on the map, it's on Construction site.
Talking about event, what happened with the big Halloween in game event banner? Anything came out of it? Was it just the mask contest?
The Halloween event was just a normal event that gave more than usual SP for the prizes, the banner was very misleading, pretty sure everyone thought that was the day the update was being released as the banner showed masks on it.
That's it? Wow, it WAS misleading. The graphics and the way it was described/hyped suggested something bigger than this. Oh well.
I'll need to check with the Devs on this and see what's going on. I haven't heard anything from them lately about it.
