UC 2: The Liandri Conflict introduces a new gameplay style to the traditional FPS genre: acrobatic melee combat. Unreal Championship fans can play as any one of 14 characters from the Unreal universe, each with spectacular new Adrenaline Powers that enable new offensive and defensive combos. Midway is awaiting Microsoft approval to roll out a patch which will make various graphical & gameplay changes, network optimizations, and a few other fixes. No specific date for its release has been announced yet. Read more for details ..

Gameplay changes :

• Fixed team kills being counted for Weapon Master
• Fixed winning a TDM round by the Weapon Master bonus causing it to count as two rounds won instead of one
• Fixed issue where if a player was standing on the enemy flag base and a teammate captured the flag to win the round, the flag would get into an invalid state
• Fixed the extremely rare sniper rifle freeze
• Added the ability to play DM on Overdose maps
• Unlocked downloadable maps CTF-Monoxide and DM-Sever
• Unlocked downloadble ‘alt’ characters Apophis, Calypso, Jackhammer, Judas, Kraag, Syzygy. When highlighting a character for play, hit (X) to swap to their alternate character.
• Fixed issue with lightest characters using a slower speed.

Graphical changes :

• Fixed "Loading" text being outside the safe zone for the second splitscreen viewport during pre-join dynamic loading
• Fixed characters being stuck in the T-pose after round cycle

• Fixed a rare problem related to a client sometimes not closing its connection properly
• Fixed an extremely rare freeze when transitioning to a new match on the same server
• Changed the order client connections are serviced to prevent clients with poor connections from being skipped due to network saturation, which aids lower bandwidth clients when the server is under stress

• Tweaked the default client network speed

Miscellaneous fixes :

• Fixed radioactive glow not going away on round reset when using the radioactive mutator
• Fixed occasional ghost players visible after round change
