Well, I've been recruiting and pushing the dev team on the 3.1 update. I haven't posted much about it because I honestly didn't know what was going into it or when it would come out. We're working hard to putting together a teaser to show you what will be in one of the last updates to our community mod.

List of Features

• Weapon stats adjustments
• Scriptable objects
• Of course we need missions to show off those objects!
• A couple new weapons and items
• New weapon sounds

For those that have suffered using or avoiding the Mac10SD for so long, it has been boosted. The main problem was its 0% effectiveness on chest shots covered in heavy armor. It is now effective against heavy armor up to 50m. Other SMG type weapons are also effective against heavy armor but not more than 50m. Some scope magnifications have been increased (SVU, MP5's).

Scriptable objects include crates, a tower and other various goodies to spice up missions. The tower does allow scripters to place actors in them. I won't mention all the objects in the list for the teaser because some will really surprise you. Once you play the new missions, you'll be blown away at the cool improvements!

New weapons include the return of the M79 and the Walther P99. The M79 will replace the MM1 in some MOUT kits and be coupled with the MP5SD for a new combination. It will be employing timed grenades instead of exploding on impact. The P99 will be paired with the WA2000 for some Bond action. Along with the MP5 10mm's new stats will be a suppressed version. There will be a new Porta-Bush item for snipers. The final will have various bush types. This teaser will showcase the tall grass type that is found on most original GR maps.

Some weapon sounds have been replaced. They'll change again for the 3.1 final if you guys don't like them very much. The M60 will have a different sound from the one that came with Frostbite. The M16 will have a different sound as I found the original to sound nothing like it's real life counterpart. The same goes for the Aug as it's been using the M4 sound for too long.

For the final and subsequent updates, there will be much more of everything posted here. We're hoping to release some maps before GR2 comes out. We'll be focusing on CQB since the loss of the SOAF maps due to legal limitations. I also hope there will be more of us scripting missions. The main goal of 3.1 is to provide tools for the community to easily script cool missions using the same maps we've been playing on for nearly 3 years.

Stay tuned for the release next week!
