Resistance multiplayer update deployed: new modes, no maps

Insomniac delivered the first half of its promised Resistance multiplayer update ahead of schedule, keeping on target with PlayStation 3's European Italian launch. The update adds Team Conversion and Team Assault modes, along with a new featured dubbed "Round Balancing." When enabled (always in ranked matches), Round Balancing will attempt to balance uneven team sizes without splitting up parties.

A second update, currently scheduled for May, will introduce a pair of new maps and global servers. Hear that, Europe? Y'all got about two months on them practice fields -- then it's world war!
