However, if an incapacitated player chooses to return to the lobby before another player revives them, the party's score will be penalized.  Also, NPC deaths no longer have an effect on the mission score, regardless of if they are revived or not.
* Enemies in higher ranked missions have been slowed down slightly.  This applies only to the PC/PS2 servers.
* Numerous security holes have been addressed on the PC/PS2 servers.
