Devlog #016 - What's next...
Hello operators!
We've been busy incorporating your feedback and suggestions, as well as adding some new content for the upcoming testing phases.
Here are only some of the numerous changes we've implemented based on your feedback:
- Decreased grenade equip / throw time
- Increased grenade friction
- Added UI scale slider
- Changed magazine ammo indicator to be more visually consistent
- Added auto-reload option
- Added additional camera control options
- Added firemode preferences option
- Improved visibility of loadout screen keybinds
The campaign missions are coming along nicely, which gives us some time to re-test and polish new gear and features that we want you to have access to. The next test phase will also bring you one more mission to complete and provide another map for the deathmatch mode.
We’ll also be introducing a new PvP game mode - Advance and Secure.
In this team-based competitive mode two sides will attempt to capture and hold as many control points as possible. Both teams will start off with a limited number of tickets which will drain based on control points held and number of respawns. Your team wins if either the enemy team has no more tickets left, time runs out and your team has more tickets than the enemy, or your team has captured all the control points (thus denying the enemy the ability to respawn) and then eliminated all the opponents without them recapturing a single point.
Advance and Secure offers diverse types of gameplay that shine a different light on Thunder Tier One’s loadout system and showcases a range of tactical approaches to maps. For example, being fast and mobile will allow your team to outmanoeuvre opponents and capture points quicker, whereas playing slow and sturdy will probably help you defend a position. We can’t wait to watch you adapt to the map and outsmart your opponents using the arsenal at your disposal.
We’ve already teased some of the new additions to the arsenal, like the UMP45 and the G3A3, but here’s a detailed list of what will be made available in the upcoming phase:
Weapons
- M9
- Remington 870
- MAC10
- UMP45
- AKS74U
- G3A3
- Optic Cable
- M112 Demolition Charge
- M18 Claymore
- Assault Vest
- 3M Armor
We’ll be announcing the dates for this next testing phase soon, so keep an eye on our Discord Server and our Twitter, Instagram and Facebook pages.
