[QUOTE="chaplainDMK"]Very fun and well made, but I'd really like it if you slowed everything down a bit maybe. It's really hectic. [/QUOTE] Glad you guys like it! chaplainDMK I am pretty sure you will get used to it. Try to point the mouse cursor far away from your soldier in the direction you move to have a big line of sight. This will give you, at least against the AI, a huge advantage. You can also lower the number of AI, no need to play with/against 600 bots :D Default values are good (~150 average).

[QUOTE="chaplainDMK"] Probably, also just a personal aesthetical grudge: the guns sound weak, not enough umph.[/QUOTE] Hehe ya, the guns don't have much audio processing. There are some sound mods (see official forum) but we will for sure add some more "umph" at some point. Btw, this sunday, we make an official PvP session at 6pm, UTC. A bit early for US dudes but well... Feel free to join! :)

0.85 has just been released featuring the inventory system, the riot shield and the stun grenade.
