- 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.
