Age of Chivalry Mod for Half-Life 2 1.1 Release Date Confirmed! news

After being one of only 10 mods placed on the Editor's Choice mods showcase on ModDB.com, Team Chivalry knew that it had to produce a 1.1 version that was worthy of following up this award. For that reason we have put off the release of 1.1 until it was at a level where we could criticize it no further, the game is perfect right now and we feel great about the prospects of this release for our fanbase. One of the problems with 1.0 was a few bugs and glitches that sometimes took away from the experience for the gamer, Team Chivalry has responded to the concerns of the players feedback and this version is much smoother, with a whole bunch more content as well! Team Chivalry has received tremendous feedback from fans and well-wishers that has brought them to announce that the 1.1 release is officially confirmed for Friday, May 22nd at 12am GMT+1! The server package will be released on Wednesday so the servers are ready to go ahead of time.

1.1 Changes include:

- Decapitation (per MANY requests. So...Yes, we're serious!)
- Revamped health and armor system
- Significant class balance changes (all the weapons damages and speeds have been redone)
- Improved hitbox detection to increase accuracy and minimize previous confusion
- Improved archery and projectile collision detection (Archers can now “snipe” headshots for extra damage)
- Improved objective mechanics to promote team-play more effectively (got rid of objective “rushing”)
- Hold shield Blocking (yes it is balanced!)
- Fully implemented spectator support
- Clan Support added including HLTV and warm-up mode (Clan-based play in Age of Chivalry is something you absolutely must try, teamwork makes this game shine)
- Oil pots and Catapult kills now count for the player as kills and not as suicides
- Improved animation sync with actual weapon traces
- Brand new weapons including the much anticipated Warhammer.
- A complete sound overhaul to make things more intense (new sounds, updated sounds)
- A completely incomprehensible number of bugfixes and tweaks
- Improved Bot AI so they are now more of a challenge to player and move towards objectives
- 2 new game modes:
- 1v1 dueling (A win awards your team with a point, 10 points wins a map)
- Team Deathmatch (All-out mayhem, first team to 100 kills wins)
- 5 New Maps Including:
-Tombs (small Team Deathmatch style map)
- Tournament (1v1 dueling map)
- Battleground (open plain battle)
- Death Valley (Large bleak valley – Team Deathmatch style map)
