A direct successor to the 2D multiplayer shooter Soldat which took the Internet and LAN parties by storm in the early 2000's.
Soldat 2 aims at recreating the basic Soldat gameplay experience with fresh and enhanced content. Additionally there will be customization of every part of the game, including procedurally generated levels, game rules and modes, weapons, vehicles, structures and a custom battle simulator sandbox. Soldat 2 also strives to become a powerful platform for custom created content, mods and other Soldat-like games.

Big Update Is Nearly Finished
A window for waiting for players to join, arranging teams and voting for gamemode, map and modifiers is now part of the experience after joining a server.
Everyone can invite their friends through Steam or Discord with a link that will have them join the game immediately! No more copy pasting IP's and ports :). You can also view player avatar's and Steam profiles on this screen.
Statistics are now calculated during the match such as caps/returns, kills/deaths, accuracy, favourite weapon etc. and viewed as a summary at the end of each game.
Pre-game lobby can be disabled and instead a simple 3-map vote can be used.
This is also what will be used in the new Matchmaking/Gather system.
Many HUD and menu improvements. This is mainly thanks to the help of our testers community. Giving me feedback, suggestions and encouragement!
CTB has returned as Domination!
It's not done yet and there's only one unfinished map called dom_stronghold but it is a sign of what to expect.
Biggest addition is a very wide custom designed map instead of the generated ones.
Best played with "UltraTactical" modifier!
Second biggest addition are base areas instead of flags (indicated by a team colored outline).
Many improvements have been made to the movement system thanks to the support of testers.
Hard-roll is now possible like in Soldat 1. Use it to stop and change direction immediately! An enhancement over S1 is the ability to hard-roll off of walls.
There's a new move called FRONT-FLIP. Works just like back-flip but forward. It's a big change but it has been warmly welcomed.

Dropkick has been replaced with Superman-Dash. Basically doing superman adds the ability to bump into people with your head. If you go fast enough - it's deadly!
Proper status display + ability to join a friends game directly
Lots of work on general cleanup, FPS improvements, sound clarity etc.
Ambient sounds have been added to maps.
Less particles for greater visual clarity.
Tons of customization options including "no backgrounds", "less HUD" etc.
Nicer 3D lighting.
As always you can play this on the test branch on Steam.Join Discord for details. Full changelog is available here: https://soldat2.com/changelog.txt
Thanks for reading!
... and back to work for me.
Have fun!
