Continuing gameplay improvements on the beta branch, we have added a few big changes in the last update, buffing the suppressing power of the LMG, turning the SMG into the true king of close encounters and making sure that spotting enemies is more realistic.
This is the last big gameplay update in which we made all the weapons feel more useful and very different than the others.
Please give us feedback about the beta on the chat or on our Discord server. Your feedback is super useful for us to improve the game.
LMG
The LMG will now need to be deployed in order to be used. Meaning, you will need to have your soldier crouch behind cover or go prone in order to make the LMG usable. But now, the LMG has a lot more suppressing power: you will be able to pin down enemies with just a few bursts. We have also added a suppression sweep mode for the LMG: you will be able to suppress all enemies in a designated area.
SMG
The big change for the SMG was adding a new variation of the good old Assault mode from Call of Combat. The new twist is that your SMG soldier will be able to continue moving while aiming and firing, making him the true king of close encounters and indoor combat.
Spotting
We have made spotting more realistic in respect with peripheral vision. We added several levels of recognition on enemies. First you will only see a question mark, which might be either friendly or enemy, then you will see the actual soldier but no name. It's only when you are close enough, that you will be able to know which player that soldier belongs to.
This way, we want to make spotting feel a lot more organic and gradual than it was before.
These are the three levels for being spotted: fully spotted with player name, partially spotted showing frienedly or foe, and barely spotted with minimal information (could be friend or foe)
Tournament System
After several rounds of testing, we can officially announce that the tournament system is now ready for public use. Which means that anyone can schedule, organize, manage and stream their own tournaments with ease thanks to the following feature:
- Schedule your tournament
- Subscribe from website or from the game lobby
- Make teams and select players
- Automatic team set up in-game
- Spectator mode for the tournament organizer (for streaming)
Stay tuned for future updates and the upcoming official release!
