If ya hurry, you might catch MOOtant on the server he's on now, doing some testing and stuff. He was kinda afk when I left (just now) but there are aircraft factories and he even had a tank flying earlier. Or, at least there were. *Shrugs*
I got next to no help testing them, besides Lawliet. But they should be decent. Either way, at least I can update them for steam release if there's a problem. That's just him being bored. There's nothing new added in terms of that stuff.
so, are we continuing with updates and the steam version, if and when it comes out, will be the latest version?
What the hell weapons. + Grenadier armour resist reduced from 30% to 20% Why was this ever. I don't even.
On phone at work so can't quote. @ hexi - Have you actually tried it or are you just making useless comments again? The NFHR is now virtually 100 percent accurate, except the recoil. Having said that, just 2 people helped me test all the changes I made. @ Foxy - The stupid Gren hate is getting old. Get over it. The overall aim was to make the NFAR/BEHR completely usable whilst moving, and the NFHR/BEAR the opposite. @ Kane - You are retarded, learn to read. Overall, I just want people to stop this crap every release, where they sit there and whine about the changelog before even getting ingame and trying it. If you want to whine after that, sure, be my guest, but at least try the thing before you whine.
Thanks for the update guys! Did not have chance to test it out with others since VIPER's still is not patched
