Only a few days since the last update (1.0.175), a recent patch update has been released through Steam (which will auto-update when you restart Steam) is said to fix a number of pressing issues with the PC version of the game. Here is a complete list of what patch 1.0.177 is supposed to fix:

• Care Package, Emergency Airdrop, and Sentry Gun marker grenades sprint speed normalized
• Sentry Guns: Improved placement detection, preventing cases of Sentry Guns inside geometry
• Model 1887: Bling using Akimbo and FMJ combination now has same range and damage as non-Bling Model 1887s
• Improved player collision removing cases of getting into geometry and ‘elevators’
• Mouse latency tweaks for more mouse movement consistency
• Fixes to prevent various texture and XP hacks

Its a start,  i for one am please that the 1887’s have been nerfed again. Everytime balanced is mentioned in this game i laugh to myself, thinking back to the bestBuy chat, but the 1887’s were one of the many things that did outright piss me off.

No word has been said on mod-tools as of yet, and i’m not sure the latest attempts of stopping texture hacks has had much affect within the hacking community, its just cat and mouse.
