Hey guys, MrDeath here!
We’re starting a new series; in these we will be telling you what we’ve been up to in terms of development in the form of monthly write-ups.
I have been given this role as the Community Manager to inform you guys on what we’re planning and working on. If you have any suggestions on community involvement be sure to contact me on either Reddit, Steam discussions or the Discord.
HEADS UP! Get ready for a free weekend from the 19th of July at 10AM pacific until the 22nd 1PM!
So, now that's out of the way, let’s start with the upcoming features and fixes!
Note that these following features are still in progress and are likely to change before release!
Optimising game performance & stability
We’ve been getting reports from some players that their performance has been negatively affected by our v1.2 release. One particular nasty bug which seems to be caused by players leaving the game (and new ones joining afterwards) is being looked into as we speak, and a fix will be available ASAP when the guys have found the cause.
In addition to this fix, we also have some potentially huge performance patches coming!
Better Inverse Kinematics with new animations!
We’re working on making the player models look a little more streamlined!
The potential improvements to players appearance could include :
New map - Abandoned
So we’ve pretty much been keeping our heads down with the development on this new map since it’s announcement back in October 2017.
With the loss of our environmental artist, Abandoned had to be shelved for a brief time.
Here are some screenshots of what abandoned looks like right now. Again this is subject to change before release :
This is going to be the biggest map yet.
New gear and tools!
We’ve been working on several new pieces of equipment you can use on the battlefield. These new items will allow you to play in a different ways and tactics that weren’t possible before!
Stun gun and hacking
We’re adding a stun gun (for MARSOC only) that gives you the possibility to stun your enemy, while he’s stunned you can hack his tablet and temporarily receive enemy locations on your tablet. This will likely be limited to the specialist class.
Bipods
A new way to get more accurate shots on longer ranges! The bipod attachment will allow you to steady your gun on any object low enough to put your bipod on. This will become very helpful for players looking to get long distance kills, by providing a potential extra layer of accuracy previously unseen in the game.
Eyes in the sky
Now, I won’t reveal too much on this. But in the next big update you might want to watch out for the MARSOC marksman and check the skies next time when protecting the objective….
This was the first monthly sitrep!
If you have any tips or suggestions for improving these series, let me know! You can contact me on either : Reddit, Steam discussions or the Discord.
As for the community contest, it’s just around the corner! So keep your eyes peeled!
I’ll see you on the field!
MrDeath, Community Manager.
