5.03 proved to be a little more "beta" than usual, so i'm releasing a hot fix in the form of beta 5.04 today.
Give your thanks to Stahlhagel and ]OX[Typheron when you see them in-game for their bug reports and feedback.
5.04 has the following changes
- The plasma pistol's rate of fire has been limited to one shot every 0.8 seconds. Take your time and aim, plasma spam wont work anymore.
- The visual effect for the plasma bolt has been scaled down to 50%
- Plasma bolt damage has been reduced to 50 from 80. It's more like a bolt gun hit than a cannon now.
- The plasma pistol combo has had it's missing materials and animation glitches fixed.
- The experimental particle system code has been removed from the meltagun. No more red X blinding.
As usual check the Downloads Page for the latest patch and installer.
There is going to be a scheduled game to test the bug fixes and balance changes in 5.04 between 14:00 and 15:00 BST on Sunday the 27th. See you there.
awesome:D

Cool, the plasma pistol is useless now, oh well, no one plays this anyway, what with your inability to put even something as simple as health chargers and ammo packs in the game.
Cry moar plz, your salty tears fuel our terminator armour suits
