Commandos!

We have just released a small update for the Commandos: Origins demo, that addresses some feedback and bug reports.

• Added chain pick up tutorial hint.
  Added a new tutorial hint explaining that you can hold down key while ordering a melee attack to have the Commando pick up the body automatically.
  
• Added quicksave/quickload button tutorial hint.
  Added tutorial hint that explains that you can quicksave with F5 and quickload with F8.
