Zero Hour’s Operation Red Wedding consists of 5 new weapons, 1 new map and miscellaneous improvements. We are also bringing improvements in Network Structure and setting up Mocap equipments. This update primarily consists of content updates but more 'Quality Of Life' improvements are still on the way.
Main Features:
Five New Weapons
SKS:
Sat right in between the distinguished old bolt action Mosin Nagant and the historic AK-47 platform, which dominated for decades, for this reason, the SKS is like the middle child everyone forgot. The SKS-45 is a homely, though robust, rifle. Its metalwork and stock may be crude, but it has proven to be a remarkably reliable rifle, as are most Soviet-made guns. The rifle's lightweight and open style iron sights made acquiring a target easy at even 200 meters. This is available for Terrorists.
Honey Badger:
The honey badger was created at the request of an elite U.S special operations group looking to replace their mp5 SDS with an upgraded platform. Two of the main requirements included the ability to shoot a rifle caliber round while maintaining low visibility, and of course, it needed to retain a high level of suppression. This is available for Counter-Terrorists.
MK12:
The Mk12 was built for the U.S army to make a smaller, reliable gun and more versatile. The reason is they need something to blend better in urban environments. One of the commonalities of all mark 8 across mark 12's is an 18-inch barrel so that it's long enough to be ballistically effective but short enough to be portable. This is available for the Counter-Terrorists.
CZP10C:
The P10C is a polymer-framed striker-fired handgun. It came to market in 2017 for personal defense, and the military actually introduced this handgun to be a direct competitor of the G-19. This is available for both Counter-Terrorists and Terrorists.
FN FAL:
The FAL - or, to give its full name, the 'Fusil Automatique Léger', is a battle rifle characterized by its selective-fire ability and chambering for a full-powered rifle cartridge. By modern standards, the FAL is a hefty weapon - modern assault rifles fire smaller cartridges and make extensive use of polymers to reduce weight - while the FAL is a full-size rifle of entire steel construction. This is available for Terrorists.
New Map
Red Wedding
The Major General’s daughter Taniya was to be married to Mashrub on the 4th of January but hell broke loose as Terrorists attacked the venue during the ceremony. Local Officials state at least 40 people have been killed and 15 wounded. If the terrorists manage to capture Taniya, they will use her as leverage to get what they want from the Major. The MS-Unit has been dispatched to the scene with the area in strict lockdown. The venue has already been taken over by terrorists along with civilians still inside. There are fears the number of dead could rise.
More Features
Overhauled Movement Animation
We are experimenting with various methods to improve the overall fps movement animations to counter the feel of stuttered animation transitions (This overhaul is set to change with all current animations in the game thus far.)
Updating Network Structure
We are working together with Photon Networks to give you the best experience with online gameplay. We expect better service and connectivity compared to the prior network structure. This would further improve our security for anti cheat detection. This may lead to removal of unused or unpopular regions to compensate for the more active regions.
Geforce Now Anti-Cheat Issue
We are aware of the issues being faced by players using Geforce Now due to anti-cheat installation being a requirement for Quick-match. Rest assured with this update we will have that fixed.
Upcoming In Later Updates
Squad AI Progress
Dynamic AI stacking up behind doorway.
Dynamic AI breach in.
AI follow on command.
AI move to position while assigned target.
AI Dynamic move to position with formation.
We have made good progress working with Squad AIs with the basic functionality added, such as
Stacking up, breaching preparation, covering, or following when ordered to do so. More features are yet to be done, and more information will be out with later updates.
The idea is to create a dynamic system that wont require predefining anything for the AIs in existing or new maps.
Mocap Equipments
We are setting up our own Mocap Studio which we plan to use to make better and more grounded TPS animations and further add to our future content experiences.
The planned release date for this update is in 7th March 2022. We have more news and updates for Operation Red Wedding which we will provide in detail soon so stay tuned. We really appreciate and thank the community for the unconditional support and love for the game.
