14 DAY TRIAL // Aliens: Colonial Marines has just received a brand new batch of hot fixes on the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 platforms, reducing the difficulty in the Recruit setting and making plenty of tweaks to the online multiplayer mode.
Aliens: Colonial Marines came out back in February and was assaulted by a huge array of complaints due to its poor quality.
Since then, developer Gearbox has released multiple updates and deployed different hot fixes to solve issues, add new features, and tweak existing mechanics.
The studio deployed another round of hot fixes yesterday that should make the Recruit difficulty easier and change some of the mechanics from the online multiplayer. Check out the full list of tweaked things below, via the official site.
