About the next version news - Counter-Life mod for Half-Life

After the release of Beta 7, I've received lots of feedback. Some good while others are negative. Fear not, I took the negative ones and wrote them down on my To-Do-List. For the good ones, they are also taken into consideration as whether it should be improved or not.

If you would like to criticize, comment, give feedback, etc. by all means. But please use the forums. Also give some valid reasons on why is it badly done. Some of the things I know are:

1) Xen is unbalanced with you being able to buy health or armor anytime, anywhere.
2) Human Grunts can kill you within 2 - 3 hits.
3) Problems with scripted scenes especially involving scientists.
4) Too much ammo for the player.
5) Weapon's damage are kind of lame.
6) Lousy handgun bullet spread.
7) No speed limit for heavy weapons.

1) has already been rectified.
2) Have to do some testing. For now, just mess around with the skill.cfg.
3) Delete all the scientist models. From scientist.mdl to scientist07.mdl.
4) Will be doing a mathematical formula. This will involve number of weapons that can hold the same rounds and how many of those guns you can carry at the same time.
5) That too will be done using a very weird and probably complex formula of 1x2=2.
6) The handguns will have to take a bootcamp stress test. Please do note that I'm basing the handguns to their real life counterparts. They have only a certain limit before the outline the target. The best range I know for the P226 is 50m. And no, you cannot curve bullets around the corner and I swear I'll do my best to kill you if you bring up this suggestion.
7) Speed limit will be added for AW/M, G3SG1, SG550, M249 and LAW. I'll leave the rest of the weapons untouched.

Not all of the ideas/suggestions will be taken into account.

Edit: It took a while before I realize that there isn't a release date for the next version. That is the most important thing about the next version. Date: TBA.

Edit2: I just realized that the ammo packs found in Xen are a bit redundant. I have a few things left in my bag of tricks so I think they will be quite useful in the long run...
