10 Updates To Video Games That Completely Broke Everything
3. 1.27 Update Left Multiplayer Unbalanced - Killzone 2
Though Killzone 2's single player component was released without much incident, the game's multiplayer suite received vocal complaints from those playing as the Tactician class, who felt that their sentry bot's air support ability was simply too weak to be effective.
Guerrilla Games listened to the complaints and eventually released the 1.27 patch which gave the air support drones a significant boost in both damage and health, while also nerfing the speed with which opposing turrets and bots could target them.
But in a classic case of over-correction, this resulted in most other classes complaining that air support was now grossly over-powered, as the gameplay was just too chaotic to be much fun.
Sadly it fundamentally broke Killzone 2's multiplayer overnight, prompting many players to eventually take leave and never come back.
