Lost Planet To Be Improved Greatly By Patch At Lunch

Some of the improvements from the demo:

  • Private slots can be set by host.

  • Invite friends to a match.

  • Number of players in a room will be displayed next to name of the room.

  • Players will not be kicked all the way out to the main menu if they try to join a full game.

  • New button allows players to refresh the match list without going out to the main menu and selecting Quick Match again.

  • Players will now go to a post-game lobby at the end of a match, not kicked back to the main menu.

  • The ability to replay a match with the same group without leaving the post-game lobby.

  • Cycling maps on replayed matches when map selection is set to Random.

  • Text size on the team selection screen will be greatly increased when using non-HD resolutions.

  • When manual team selection is set to ON, players will have 20 seconds to form teams.

  • The time limit on each match will be maxed out at 60 minutes, instead of the current unlimited time.

  • A player's custom match criteria will now be saved.

Some very nice additions in there, the text in the multiplayer was so hard to read. It's very nice to see some game developers using demos to improve the final product.
