PATCH 1.50

In addition to Tournaments, Clan Ladders and the Calendar, the team at Slant Six has been busy adding new community requested features to the 1.50 update. The following items have been confirmed for the 1.50 update with additional items to come:


Added the ability to join directly into a friend's game off of the friend's list.
Added password protected custom games.
Drastically improved the weapon selection ring. You can now move while selecting weapons and the weapon selection is much faster and more accurate.
Slightly reduced the Famas accuracy.
Improved the damage of the Desert Eagle. One shot kill with light and medium armor.
Improved sniper rifle damage. One shot kills with bolt action rifles on light and medium armor.
Fixed a large number of level exploits.
Channel names are sorted alphabetically by default.
Reduced the long fade in at the beginning of rounds to less than 1 second (the "darkness" is gone).
Added a 30 second game start timer to games when greater than 60% of the players ready up.
Clan patches are now displayed on your character in-game.
Clan tags are now displayed with your player name in-game.
Added center markers to all scopes and changed the color of the crosshairs so that they are visible at night.
Kill cam stops following target after 5 seconds.
Button prompts in death cam fade out after 5 seconds.
Target Spotting now defaults to off.
Weapons selected in-game are not saved to your custom loadout.

We'll have more information and details about the 1.50 update as the plans get finalized.

THIS PATCH I THINK IS GOING TO BE THE BEST ONE OF THEM ALL I THINK.

I’m glad we were able to share with you last week some of the community requested features that will be included in Patch 1.50. I talked with one of our producers this week and found out about a few more items I wanted to share with you.


Option to Disable D-Pad lean and re-assign left and right directional buttons.
Ladder Climb less audible.
Round timer for 8x8 Medley decreased to 5 minutes.
Picking up the bomb prompt now has priority when a body is on top of the bomb.

I know you are all anxious for this patch to be released. As work continues on it, we will update you on its progress.

I also found out the answer to another question I have been getting lately. Many have wondered if there was going to be another stat reset with this patch. I learned that at this time, there are no plans for a stat wipe.

We hope you continue to enjoy Confrontation as the team continues to work to get Patch 1.5 out to you. We do read the forums and appreciate your feedback and suggestions!
