The Elf to be nerfed in a future update?
Published by July 31st, 2007 in FASA and content. 3 CommentsRumors have been flying across internet forums over the past week about changes coming to Shadowrun after the next major update. The biggest topic people are discussing in the competitive Shadowrun forums: the Elf will be scaled back to heal slower (according to a the top MLG Shadowrun team member oNeEye from StK). As of right now these are all rumors but according to the community, the Elf is played about 70% of the time. Apparently FASA sees this as a problem and will nerf the Elf so that people will try other races.
In the past, FASA has mentioned that they can (or will) tweak the economy after the game ships.

25) You should get clearer feedback when attempting to join a full game via the guide.
26) Changed some of the achievement descriptions to make goals clearer.
27) Dwarf hint text is now correct. (They CAN be unawared - just not headshotted.)- Bots
28) Bots on Dig Site are not so determined to kill themselves in the Sacrifice Pit now.
29) Bots in Raid games will emphasize flag pickup towards the end of rounds.
30) Bots should no longer be so fascinated with walls.
31) Bots no longer look at a flag carrier that can’t be seen rather than threats that can be seen.
32) Public match fill bots should now support the team better.
It’s great to see that the Vista version is getting some love. It is slowing catch up to the 360 version in terms of quality control.
What? You can now clear bodies with the Artifact in Attrition? This changes that gametype quite a bit.

Downloads. Notice that link in the above screenshot of the menu?
So Shadowrun will support downloadable content. Just what will that content be? New maps? Or dare I say, a new race? Many people are left wondering by the Ork race was omitted from Shadowrun. Perhaps this race will appear later down the road as downloadable content?
What do you guess the content will be? Just gamerpics and themes?
