Happy New Year everyone! Today we are bringing you a new patch for the Multiplayer Beta. It addresses many bug and balance issues and also it adds some cool new features to the mod. As always we encourage all of you to stop by our forums and tell us what you think if you haven't done so already.
As mentioned above the Beta 1.0.2 patch fixes some of the bugs and glitches issues. It also adds a couple of cool new features such as a Combine medic station and a Combine shield generator which are the best additions. We have also added the Strider unit to the sandbox mode. We have added this unit into the mod to test and will be fully available in other game modes in future releases. A full change log is available at the bottom of this news post.
