I've been creating this patch for 14 months. But it wouldn't be possible without an extremely helpful and positive team made of community members. I feel like the previous versions were done by me and this is a joint effort of many great individuals (too many to list unfortunately, but you know who you are).
So I want to say THANK YOU and I do hope this remade version represents what the community actually wanted from Soldat 2.
Soldat 2 MAJOR CHANGES:
[h3]REMADE EVERYTHING :)[/h3]
Check the gameplay video if you haven't already:
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[h3]REMADE MAPS[/h3]
Some of the new and remade maps
dom_stronghold
dom_silo
ctf_snakebite
ctf_wretch
dm_arena
dm_arena2
[h3]REMADE MOVEMENT[/h3]
Fixed a lot of things like momentum preservation, kick-jumping and flips to be exactly like in Soldat 1.
Balanced speeds and forces for greater fun!
Plus there's more:
hardrolls & glide rolls
front-flip
superman-dash (superman bump with high speed)
sliding (hold superman key)
[h3]NEW PRE-GAME LOBBY WITH TONS OF MODIFIERS[/h3]
Players can now vote what to play next before each round
Many modifiers including realistic damage, movement and Fog of War!
[h3]REMADE UI[/h3]
New main menu design with In-game news
End Results screen with match statistics
[h3]ADDED MATCHMAKING + RANKS + STATS[/h3]
Made together with Norbo. The Gather known from Discord is now built-in the game!
[h3]REMADE DEATHMATCH[/h3]
Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch has more Arena-shooter like gameplay which means:
* limited ammo
* weapon pickups on the map
* dedicated spawns for health, ammo and grenades
There's a ClassicDeathmatch modifier if you prefer the classic experience!
[h3]PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS[/h3]
No screenshot sorry :D
I've made major optimizations so you will have much more FPS and much smoother gameplay.
Network code is also MUCH better and smoother.
[h3]QUICK IN-GAME VOTING[/h3]
[h3]REMADE LEVEL EDITOR[/h3]
Maps based on editable polygons
Change everything including custom textures!
It's still beta, but extremely easy to prototype and create maps.
[h3]QOS IMPROVEMENTS AND CUSTOMIZATION[/h3]
HUD on/off, custom colored cursors + much more
Custom background colors for greater clarity
[h3]DISCORD + STEAM INVITES[/h3]
Very useful for quickly inviting a Discord channel or friends to the game or matchmaking queue
Steam friends invite
[h3]NEW WEAPONS![/h3]
+ 3-shot Rocket Launcher
+ secondary RPG launcher with a guided missile!
+ all weapons rebalanced
[h3]WHAT'S NEXT?[/h3]
1. Ranked matches and statistics need a lot of improvement and fixes. Also DM 1v1 is coming.
2. Domination needs more work with more dedicated dom_ maps
3. More maps, possibly more weapons, more modifiers and more fixes as usual
See you on Discord for feedback.
Have fun!
MM
