Overall Multi-Mission scores will not change drastically, but it should now be easier to score points by following the mission rules. Previously, players who attempted to play Multi-Mission matches as intended by focusing on mission points may have been at a disadvantage compared to those players who focused on kills. These adjustments should make mission scoring more enticing for all players. Also, while this isn't reflected in the score itself, the winning team receives more experience than the losing team, meaning it is in the best interests of all players to aim for a team win rather than individual kills.

Update and patch news for Umbrella CorpsJun 28, 2016 - Community AnnouncementsThe following issues are affecting some Umbrella Corps players, and will be investigated and addressed accordingly. Capcom sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience. - Matching: Matching fails to work optimally for some users depending on network conditions. The underlying issues will be fixed incrementally as soon as possible. We are currently investigating the following issues in particular: - Ranked match lobbies occasionally have difficulty reaching the player cap - Depending on network conditions, some users can appear to join and immediately leave a lobby - Multiple users with poor network connections can be placed in the same lobby - Weapon power Although weapon power is correctly modified according to distance, we are aware of an issue that can result in an unexpected increase in the power of certain weapons. We are considering nerfing certain weapons, along with adjusting the number of throwable weapons that can be held. Any changes will be applied incrementally. - Overhead view We will be improving the overhead view that is displayed after dying in a One Life match. Changes will be applied incrementally. Any future proposals, and update releases, will be announced on this page.Update and patch news for Umbrella CorpsJun 28, 2016 - Community AnnouncementsThe following issues are affecting some Umbrella Corps players, and will be investigated and addressed accordingly.

And while ORC had solid sales numbers, ultimately, it was deemed a failure which lead to the studio behind the shooter, Slant Six Games, shutting down shortly after the game’s launch.
But despite how Operation Raccoon City turned out, Capcom hasn’t given up of the concept for their beloved Resident Evil franchise and have pushed out yet another competitive multiplayer shooter from a different developer… and it looks like this time fans have given up on the idea even quicker than they did four years ago.
Umbrella Corps, which officially launched on June 21, has already slipped to under 100 players per hour in just its first five days on Steam. On its launch day, the new non-canon Resident Evil-themed shooter peaked at a surprisingly low 419 players. Umbrella Corps dropped to as low as 45 players at one point during its launch weekend and is now on the verge of dropping out of the top 1000 games on Steam with just 74 players currently online. Looking at the graph below taken from GitHyp's hourly Steam data, you can see this massive 82% drop-off from what little number of players the game started with less than a week ago.
With the recent Resident Evil 7 reveal at E3, it looks like Capcom is finally starting to listen to their fans in terms of bringing the series back to its horror roots and even taking inspiration from other recent frightening games such as P.T. and Outlast… but one has to wonder if the Japanese publisher's shooter concept will stay dead after how poorly Umbrella Corps has performed.
