The biggest addition to Tango Fiesta this week is something you've all been waiting for - a brand new Objective type, the Radio Mast!
You'll have to fight your way to it, and then shut it down - but haccking the damn thing triggers an alarm and enemies are called in from afar to protect this valuable communications tower.
If you're in co-op you'll have to cover each other while the hacking takes place, but in singleplayer the challenge lies in making sure the area is clear and then choosing your moments to retaliate.
Speaking of co-op, if you're playing locally you can now have new players dropping in at any point in the game, with full character and weapon select functionality too - twice the fun, half the hassle!
Of course we've not rested there! We've also added some new tricks and traps to make your heroics even more... heroic! Land mines now appear occasionally, and pose a threat to both you and your hapless foe. If you spot them in time, you can use them to your advantage... but be careful because they really pack a punch!
BEFORE:
AFTER:
Not only that, but we've added explosive barrels, and those parked Jeeps you may spot around the place now do just what you'd expect - they explode too!
We can't wait to hear what you think in the forums and over on twitter, so let us know how these changes affect the game!

WHAT'S NEXT?
Well, over the next fortnight we'll be introducing content from our very own gladiatorial futuresport gameshow - Who Wants to Be a Killionaire! And of course, as with each new world we introduce, we'll be giving you new bad guys to fight against, new weapons to fight with, and new characters to fight as!
Meet Conchita!
She's a bad ass chick who gets caught up with John Strong when they're both forced to compete in Who Wants to Be a Killionaire! She's rough, she's tough, and if you so much as look at her wrong, she'll call your bluff... with her fists!
And then, because I can't resist, one more tease... with some context...
"Uplink underground, uplink underground. If you say that one more time, I'll uplink your ass, and you'll be underground!"
