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.

TEAMCOM UPDATE RELEASED
Announcer has a new voice + much more announcements including:
The announcer is now a very useful feature, because he informs you about what is happening with the flags etc. But of course, it can be turned off in the settings.
Press [T] and then [TAB] to switch between team/all channels.
(also can be triggered with ^ eg. "^ffc low!")
Added a new player icon, flag carrier icon and dead player icon.
Also the farther the flag or player is the larger the icon is, so you can determine the distance.
Press [G] + key shortcuts. The command will show for your team only - in chat, on top of your gostek + will be voiced with sound by a very famous Vietnam veteran :)
The default keys and radio messages can be customized in the game settings.
Here is a useful cheat sheet of the default layout.
(It's best to memorize it!)
I was skeptical at first but team outlines work great! Most importantly they remove restrictions for player colors (except other team color). I think this brings more character to the gosteks!
Also flag has a glow when safe in base.
Grenade has an outline and team color in addition to the team colored bullets.
A great original map with emphasis on team-play has been added:
