Zero Hour's next major update, Operation Meghna is bringing in new gameplay changes. It consists of fixes and new features such as Smoke Grenade, Tinnitus, gore & much more. With this Dev-Log, we aim to showcase how the changes have transformed the gameplay. Operation Meghna is coming out Mid August 2021
The New Weapon Audio
With Operation Meghna, we prioritized the improvement for weapon audio. In the making we took many feedback from you guys to push emotion and tension into these gun sounds. We tried to make them punchy, satisfying and realistic. The gun sounds will also react to it's environment such as variations for shooting from outside or inside a building and even on different floors.
Watch the dev-log video to preview some of the sound effects along with new suspect voices.
Improved Gore
We enhanced the gore in zero hour where the player models will have a more realistic shot wound. This was done to add to it's realistic factor but it's certainly an option that can be turned off in the settings menu.
Tinnitus Effect
In addition to our new gun sounds coming into place, we also added a tinnitus effect where as the player will experience a slight ringing in their ear when they pull the trigger for a significant amount of time. The effect on the counter terrorist side will be more subtle than the terrorist side.
Smoke grenade
We added a smoke grenade where players can deploy a smoke screen to disable enemy sight. This will allow you to gain cover, rearrange formation and commence an attack from another direction. The smoke grenade will only be available for the Counter Terrorist side.
Reporting Dead Bodies in PvP
Since we are reworking the kill feed for Operation Meghna, we added a feature in PvP where you or your team will need to report in if you kill anyone from the enemy team to let your squad know the enemy is down. You will still receive a report automatically if your team mate is killed.
However, this is different in CO-OP where if your team mate is down, you will need to report it so the squad will be informed.
New Inventory System
The new inventory system is on it's first iteration and we are working to further add to it as we move forward. Some features are still in progress such as picking up utilities and refilling ammo. There are future plans to incorporate the inventory system to interact with suspects in co-op.
DEV LOG VIDEO
We have also prepared a short video showcasing some of these changes.
The planned release date for this update is in August. We are excited to show more updates that we have planned for the future. We really appreciate and thank the community for the unconditional support and love for the game.
