We have had a lot of updates since 0.9.3.1 which add more content and improvements based of our beta testing feedback.
Optional Health Bars
The player can now have optional health bars on enemy and or friendlies. This can be useful to quickly locate enemies and prioritise fire between them. It can also help with friendly AI to see how much health your team mates have.
More Inventory Items and Uses
More inventory items have been added such as grenade boxes which will replenish your grenade supply, Stim boxes which will replenish your stim supply and Shotgun shell boxes which can carry 24 shells and uses up only 1 inventory space. Medical supplies can now also be used to heal your team mates. More items have been added and the inventory has had more improvements.
3rd Person Improvements
There have been a number of improvements to the third player view. The player camera follows the character much smoother and has better collision reaction. A camera swap is now also available (double tap – Switch camera view) when in third person to swap between right and left. This gives the player a better scope for viewing enemies and combat and navigation.
Weapon Improvements
Weapons have had improvements for balancing and making each weapon more unique and fit its role much better. The Prototype rifle II sight has had vast improvements along with all other weapons. Tactical lights have had a revamp and are much more effective.
