Capcom appears to be putting forth the extra effort to support their Xbox 360 games, listening to fan feedback and incorporating ideas into a new patch that is slated to appear sometime around March 9th.

 

The forthcoming update will feature new multiplayer enhancements as well as fix a few bugs and exploits.

 

Here's what we know so far:

 

1. Country flags will appear next to Gamertags in the pre-game lobby, making it much easier to determine where a game host is located.

 

2. Icons will be added to Gamertags in the pre-game lobby that will indicate connection strength, rating and speed.

 

3. For Team Elimination, Fugitive and Post Grab multiplayer modes, gamers will now see an indicator for who is talking over a microphone.

 

4. During the post-match results screen, players will now see an indicator for who is talking.

 

5. Gamertags will be darkened for players who have left the game at the post-match results screen.

 

Bug Fixes:

 

1. A bug in Fugitive mode that allowed for multiple fugitves when only one is allowed has been fixed.

 

2. The multiple lobby screen has been fixed.

 

3. Heavy lag that hung a map load, sometimes causing the game to reboot, has been fixed.

 

4. Players becoming invisible due to lag has been fixed.

 

5. Erroneous listing of players who didn't play in a match has been fixed.

 

6. An exploit that allows a taunt animation to shorten weapon reload time has been fixed.

 

Kudos to Capcom for addressing these issues.
