Hey!
One very big missing feature from were Desert Eagles. And now they are back!
So get ready for some double eagle action!






Another missing feature was...

Team Deathmatch!
Red vs Blue; can be played on all maps (including CTB generated maps).

WEAPON BALANCE:
All weapons were tweaked by darDar (thank you!) and tested in Gather matches. A very detailed list of changes is available here:
https://pastebin.com/cwm6Mh04

Most notable changes are bink/accuracy improvements, Minigun reworked and some visual improvements (smaller bullet trails; longer M79 trail).

The hit boxes were one of the major problems and I finally fixed it by introducing a 'perfect' detailed hit box system. This should further improve hitregs:
