Auto-Update 4 - July 20, 2005

• Included solutions to the rampant use of modded content to enable cheating on the downloadable maps included in Bonus Map Pack, Killtacular Pack and Maptacular Pack, so that any players found cheating will be permanently banned with "no appeal process." This stands for Matchmaking and Custom Games.

• Addressed a teleporter bug on the map Relic, that allowed players to reach a locked teleporter by crouch jumping.

Auto-Update 5 - April 12, 2007

• Enabled the game to recognize Blastacular Pack.

• Enhanced existing Banhammer functionality.

• Cleared online networking history - this means that for a short period of time, the game won’t have any record of any player's ideal network capabilities which means player's could experience some laggy games until things settle down.

• Cleared the console's "map cache" – this means that the first few games played after the update could take a little longer than usual to load the maps since they’ll have to be freshly loaded into memory.
