Toxic Commando First Update for Version 1.004 Released on March 19
Saber Interactive has released the first-ever post-release patch for John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando, and it’s a minor one that doesn’t include any balance changes or major bug fixes.
Console gamers will see this download appear as Toxic Commando update 1.004 (complete version 1.004.000), and this should be a small file size across all platforms.

If you’ve yet to play Toxic Commando, it might surprise you. Our review even mentions, “This can also be different playing with other online players, but with the core gameplay, it seems Saber Interactive has struck gold once again with Toxic Commando, and if it receives the same level of post-launch support as Saber’s other multiplayer games, then zombie — and co-op fans — are in for a toxic treat.”

My only gripe is how long it takes to LOAD into the game. Its such a long load screen from the title menu to the single player, then the menu UI is weird where you have to press start and then select Menu from a list of options to do anything. Then it takes a while to load and connect to people and finally MORE loading to start the level.
It’s like 4-5 minutes of loading before you can play a level.
