PK Xbox Fixes List

[dan91bauer]

Fixes:
• Weapon switching is restricted to the D-pad and it affects over all game play when online in a fast paced environment. We need to option to bind the XYAB buttons to be able to switch back and forth thru weapons. IE: Y next weapon, X previous weapon.
• There is no option for bright skins. My friend and I played a CTF game and it would be nice to have the option to use those same blue and red skins during a free for all death match or duel.
• Is there anyway possible for the host to change the game mode or restart a map inside the same server? Currently, the host has to quit out of the server, which makes everyone else lose their connection and then the host has to make a entirely new server.

That’s all I can figure out right now, great game. I love being able to play PK on my Xbox. Thanks for bringing it to the Xbox!

Hello again,

I have posted in another thread (http://www.dreamcatchergames.com/forums/showthread.php?p=206616#post206616), a reply to your post regarding the first two concerns you’ve mentioned here. In regards to the inability to modify match settings, there is no way to do so without discontinuing an active match. In the original Painkiller, it was possible to change the server settings to an active match from the console; however there is no counter-part for the console in Painkiller: Hell Wars. This functionality was not included because this is an Xbox Live title.

Thank you for making an Xbox forum for PK!! This is sweet!

Thanks for addressing the issues too.

Of all the people that I have played with, and I pretty much have played with everyone that is online on a nightly basis since the release, we all have come together and formed a few requests:

1. We would like to know if brightskins can be updated into the game via xbox live as a patch or whatever it would take. We realize that the brightskins are used in team-play but we also would like to use those same bright skins for the other game modes, specially free for alls and duels. Some of us are used to the PC version and having the brightskins on makes the game more fair and balanced.

2. Is there anyway that we can get an update for weapon switchin? IE: we want to be able to bind weapon switching the the X or Y buttons. As of right now, we don't see those buttons being used in the control configs, they're left open I believe.

Those are about the only two requests that we have all pretty much agreed one.

Of course some of us would like lobbys and things, but we understand that it's designed from a server host point of view and if the host wants to change the gametype, he will have to create a new server.

We finally figured out the voice comm and that you have to hold the button down the entire time that you talk. It took us a while but finally realized it lol!


In the future, we'd also recommend that this game be made Backwards compatible but we realize that DC probably doesn't control that and that's a MSFT issue.

Currently the PK xbox community is small but we hope that it grows larger in the future.

We really enjoy the game that you have brought to us on the xbox. Lots of people have been praising the game saying that they are glad they can play it on the xbox without slowdowns and hardware issues related to PC.

Hopefully DC can work something out with us in terms of those two requests that we have! Thanks!
