Madballs in... Babo:Invasion Update Released

Product Update - Valve

Nov 3, 2009

Updates to Madballs in... Babo:Invasion have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

New Features

Night of the Chompiis !!! - the first map of our new 4-player Co-op Survival mode, is now available! And includes a new Chompii mutation - the Spider-Chompii !
Weekly Missions - the weekly mission system is now in place - new missions (to unlock character skins) each week! This week's skin - Obsidian Magmor! Note - check the status of your missions / collected skins via the new Collectibles section in the Unlocks screen.
Dedicated Server enhancements - you can now see and participate in chat from the Dedicated Server console (useful for debugging, or letting folks that you're going to do server maintenance, etc.). We've also updated our Server Guide doc.

Misc fixes

Hallowe'en skin fixes! D'oh - we fixed a defect that caused folks to lose their hard-earned Hallowe'en skins - to compensate we've extended the Hallowe'en promotion (until Nov 12th) with minimal mission times (5 minutes / 15 minutes)
Weapons tuning - we've tuned up the Slicer a bit (faster traverse) and Striker weapons (especially Harpoon mode - faster re-fire, less kickback, more lethal damage) to make them more competitive in combat - give 'em a try. The Riffer incendiary nail got a bit more fire aftertouch as well. More updates to come over the next week on these...
Smaller updates! We've re-packaged things so that on average you'll have a lot less to download each time we update the game (which is important, 'cause we keep adding new features! )
Achievement checks! MiBI now does extra checks to ensure that it keeps your Steam achievements and MiBI unlocks in sync with each other
Special unlocks - info on the Slicer and Striker weapon unlocks have been added to the new Special unlocks section
Voice chat controls - we fixed a defect where voicechat could get unmapped from the keyboard and/or 360 controller (especially troublesome since there was no way of adding it *back* to the 360 controller). You need to hit [Defaults] on the Controller config menu (just this once) if this issue has already affected you though
No more duplicate servers - we are no longer showing servers twice if they're located on your local LAN
