Welcome back to the fore, commander! Word on the grapevine is you've been itching for more challenges to test your skills. Well, headquarters has cooked something delicious just for you...
- Added: Five unlockable campaigns and campaign selection. As of 1.3.0, you can now unlock each campaign type you complete successfully, allowing you to play it at your leisure. In addition, you'll be awarded a rating out of four for each campaign type, based on the difficulty level it was finished on.
- Added: Four difficulty settings: Easy, Normal, Hard and Extreme. Easy is perfect for learning Deadnaut's ropes without being bombarded by the trickier aspects of the game by significantly reducing Sentinel damage and disabling environmental damage. Hard represents the game's difficulty pre-1.3.0, while Extreme poses a huge challenge for even the most proficient commanders. Normal, Hard and Extreme also provide the player with a small Knowledge bonus. Steam users: Please note you cannot earn achievements in Easy mode!

- Fixed: Shields should now be correctly reapplied between missions.

To complement the update, we've added two new achievements:

- Lieutenant Ripley's Believe It Or Not: Complete a campaign on Extreme difficulty
Please note that the new Easy difficulty disables achievements -- we're not just giving these awards away, you know.
