Overall Progress:
Progress has been pretty nice since the start getting loads of work done almost every day.

Coding:
Afan has been doing some incredible work since he got here. We now have a working team menu to select which team you want to join still wip interface but machanics of it are working great. We now have our custom game type system working. Basicly we now load up gametypes through map names for example our new bounty map would be vnbn_swift etc. This way we can add loads of new unquie gametypes easily and servers will know what to load up by the maps. He is now working on some hud elements such as new panel which will be on hud with progress bars which are now done for health and ammo.

Mapping:
We now have forgotton pretty much done and exploits fixed up. We are struggeling with props atm i had a annoying but with stretched cylinders which can't get to fix the thing, so props are getting done and will be in-game soon hopefully. We now have our new map warfare a castle based map quiet a big map is the biggest map we got so far with some nice details and brushwork.

Playtesting:
We are wanting playtesters for this weekend the 6th of feb. We will be hosing a playtest which will be featuring bounty gametype, new map and some other cool stuff aswell. If you want come along have a good game with us testing the new build. Just look at contact on profile then email.

That is about everything because nilghai been busy alot so hasn't seen to get time to work on mod hopefully will be back soon. The rest we just been fixing up bugs, expoloits.

Sorry about trailer. We where going to be releasing soon but found annoying animation bugs and stuff and wanted to get more content instead of releasing a trailer with everything wip. If you want i can wip up a video of the maps flythrew of them or something.
