THQ and Volition has announced that it will be making changes to Red Faction: Guerrilla multiplayer on Wednesday, October 7.

“Since RFG launched back in June, we’ve been constantly looking at and adjusting Multiplayer, along with reading each and every comment from within the community forums,” explained a post on the Red Faction community.

Based on observations and internal playtests, the following changes are to be made:

1. Disabling the following playlists:

– Bagman

– Large Team Mixer

– Big Boomers

– MLG Playlist

2. Adding Bagman and Capture The Flag modes to the Partial Recall playlist (Only viewable to those with the Multiplayer DLC Pack).

3. Adding DLC levels to Anarchy, Team Anarchy, and Team Objective playlists.

4. Team Bagman will now have non-DLC maps available in Matchmaking, but the DLC maps will maintain a higher priority.

5. Balance adjustments:

– Rail Driver will now have 12 max ammo instead of 24.

– Sniper Rifle will now have 8 max ammo instead of 12.

– Proximity Mines will now have 2 max ammo instead of 4.

– Heal Backpack will take longer to recharge.

– Vision Backpack will take longer to recharge and use fuel faster.

– Stealth Backpack will now use fuel faster.

– Firepower Backpack will now take longer to recharge.

The changes will be made to PS3 and Xbox 360 versions.
