Monday Night Combat goes old school to solve a common problem
Games are constantly needing to be adjusted in order to restore balance to game play, especially multiplayer games. Usually this involves a significant adjustment to code and a re-release of the game. But now Monday Night Combat is going old school in it's solution to making quick adjustments to the game.
