Hi everyone, here’s a short update on the beta.
It’s been great to see how people are enjoying CtA: Gates of Hell so far.
We have been working hard to process all the feedback we have received in the past weeks; time to implement a couple of changes.


We’ve worked our rear ends off to sift through all of the reports and clean out some bugs, and now it’s time for you to see the results. This is the changelog for the update that is about to be pushed:

• Added back the 1st soviet campaign mission.
  
• Added mining section at the end of training 2.
  
• Added realistic burst mechanics for weapons (shot amount, delays, zeroing,..). Now weapons adhere to documented practical rates of fire.
  
• Added many new FX, from diesel exhausts to massive HE impacts on objects.
  
• Added new animations.
  
• Added new cursors.
  
• Added sandbag fortifications to vehicles.
