Патч 1. Просто патч 1

Наконец-то завершилось поэтапное введение первого серьезного патча для Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. Здраво рассудив, что все и сразу вводить на живые сервера не стоит, разработчики сначала провели несколько тестов и только затем выложили обновление. Впрочем, и на этом они не успокоились и уже намекнули о том, что в будущем нас ждут новые бета-тесты. Что касается текущего патча, который назвали коротко и ясно "1", то он оказался довольно продуктивен на изменения. Самыми интересными являются две новые карты: таверна, где все сражения ведутся исключительно на кулаках, и наполненный зелеными лужайками Moor, кроме того, серьезным изменениям подверглись уже имевшиеся локации - Citadel и Hillside. Из других значимых изменений стоит отметить измененный список серверов, повышенную оптимизацию на некоторых проблемных картах и улучшенную систему взаимодействия с блоками игроков во время сражения. Впрочем, это всего лишь малая часть всех произведенных изменений: был изменен баланс некоторого оружия и боевой механики в целом, исправлены эксплойты и баги, устранены некоторые проблемы со звуками и т.п. Полный список изменений под спойлерами. В Beta 2, соответственно, включены все изменения Beta 1 (кроме тех, которые исправлены в самой Beta 2), а вместе они представляют собой итоговые патчноутсы.
