Update 3.5.0 — Chat, music, and a shop that tells the truth

Chat In-match chat is visible and usable. T talks to everyone, Y to your team, Enter sends, Escape cancels. Pressing T no longer freezes your movement and mouse in a chat box you cannot see. The chat keys are listed in Settings → Controls, along with the scoreboard key. Audio Three original menu tracks, shuffled each session, that now crossfade into each other instead of cutting dead and slamming ...

Update 3.4.0 — Grenades get their own slot

Loadout Grenades and launchers have their own LETHAL tab in the armory. Frag, Molotov, Shrapnel, Thumper and Scatter are picked there, separately from your knife. MELEE is blades only now. A grenade you had equipped moves across to LETHAL by itself, and so does a launcher you were running as your primary — nothing you own is lost. Grenade details read honestly: anti-personnel, thrown, with the rea...

Update 3.3.0 — Find Each Other Faster

Matchmaking DEPLOY now looks for any open public room before it creates a new one. A player who picked FFA and a player who picked TDM used to end up in two separate rooms — now they meet. Quick Play from the Servers screen respects your mode and the featured map instead of rolling a random one. Quick Play rooms are always 8 slots / 15 minutes — a random 2-slot room used to bounce the third player...

3.0.1 - Progression that keeps going

Progression Weapon unlocks were all packed into levels 3, 8 and 15, so about 58 kills cleared the entire catalogue and the remaining 63 levels handed out nothing. Unlocks now run from level 2 to level 62. Every weapon can still be bought, and every price is now set to half the grind to its own unlock level. Buying a weapon means having it at half the wait, instead of paying for something the level...

Update 3.0 — Everything you see, rebuilt

The lobby is a room now The menu scene used to ship with a camera, the interface, and nothing else, so every screen was drawn on a flat grey slab. There is a set behind the interface now: a floor with a pool of light where the operator stands, a backdrop far enough away that the frame ends in a surface, light shafts angled through the dark, and haze along the ground. He is not a photograph either....

Patch 2.2.13 — The end of a match looks like the game

The end of a match looks like the game now When a match ended you got two pieces of interface that had nothing to do with each other, or with the rest of the game: a banner across the top in a different typeface, the countdown to the lobby floating loose at the bottom of the screen, and a summary panel below it in a different orange. It is one card now, in the same typeface and the same colours as...

Patch 2.2.12 — The operator moves, and stands in a room

The operator moves He did not before. The idle he was given is a humanoid clip - it carries muscle curves, not per-bone curves - and the component playing it could only read the second kind, so he stood perfectly still while the menus were built around him. He breathes, shifts and settles now. And he stands somewhere The menu scene shipped with a camera, the interface and nothing else, so every sc...
