Hey there!

Al Tabul -multiplayer madness on Sunday June 9, 6:00 pm UTC, don't forget! Keep this Itsalmo.st open on Sunday, it's handy!

0.89 is out with some great updates! First, we've got the sixth map in now, "Al Tabul", which is a desert themed assault map with plenty of tanks and other vehicles, we even added a few stationary weapons for the defense.

Beta 0.89, Al Taboul

Second, we've got the third faction in the game, and this means you can get those multi-faction battles going on easily now. From my experience, Stalemate and Sainte-Anne make just perfect match for 3 factions; had a great time fighting over the central bases when every faction is attacking to the same location, just hilarious!

The map view has gone through some improvements, zooming is now supported on mouse wheel and from keys which has been needed for quite a while now with the map being a bit tight for all the icons we have in there these days. We're also starting to experiment with how the map view should actually look like, and 0.89 features the first iteration of that work.

Beta 0.89, Al Taboul

 
Spotting mechanic has been added now too, so if you're one of those players who end up strolling behind the enemy lines causing all sorts of mayhem by assaulting their less defended bases, destroying the enemy comms truck or stealing their cargo truck (note, cargo truck theft is only in Invasion online currently), you also get rewards from your faction by locating their vehicles, just hover the crosshair on the vehicle to identify it. This also means for multiplayer that other players will see the vehicles in their map and get notified about them.

All right, that concludes the major new gameplay changes for 0.89, there's at least 30 other bug fixes or additions, check out the full change log here.

Are you sure that's not a rare weapon that changes to a stock weapon? Rare weapons don't carry over respawning as otherwise you'd duplicate them.

The stuck walking bug has been noted, sometimes it's stuck crouching too, but currently we don't know a sure way to reproduce it to get it fixed, it doesn't happen always. You can press walk key to resolve the stuck, but I'm with you on this, it is annoying.

it was for sure a rare weapon (pepperdust, F2000, BenelliM4, P90...).
When you press the walk key again you should be running again. If you are still slow, check if you don't have a stock weapon in your backpack which makes you move slower, no matter if you are walking or running.

This is by far one of the most fun games I've played in a long time! It's so much fun to mod, add your own custom guns, sounds, and faction specific soldiers and get the battle going. Definitely buy this game.

This is a great game. I've described it to friends as a combination between General Chaos, Cannon Fodder, a rather obscure but innovative game called Net War and once vehicles are added, even a touch of Warhawk. On top of all of this, the developer is great and really listens to the community.
