New features:

Indept spectator mode where you can see pic-in-pic and map outlines as to where everyone is at. really indept

Jumping is a thing of the past now as you get a 1 second slowdown when you land. which needs some tweaking.

Para is the DEADLY weapon of the upgrade. it has a great accuracy, so now I bet people will be abusing this one.

what do you guys think?

Thanks. Sounds good.

Too bad the anti-cheat stuff is probably useless. There are already cheats out for the 1.4 beta, so I'm guessing they'll still be working for this version.

Dopeness this game is additive

this seems to be the tool spread around for anti-cheats, I see many servers using it:

Yeah. I've been using that on servers that require it. I'm not sure if its been hacked or not, but at least it dissuades the casual cheater though.

I was referring to the first bullet in the list though, "Added Anti-Cheat protection." Unless they fixed it a lot from the 1.4 beta, then it has already been worked around. Hopefully their built-in protection isn't as worthless as I'm imagining.

good news. Glad it's finally out.

Does anybody have it yet? I'm still waiting in line to download the patch from fileplanet. All the other mirrors keep crashing.

Jackskeleton

F%$#%# File Planet. I just got it from a P2P file site.

I finally got it. It certainly wasn't worth the wait.
The first person view is nice when you are spectating, but its laggier than 1.3 when playing.
The jumping slow-down is too much.
It crashes everytime I exit the first menu after quiting a game.
I haven't played any of the new maps, but apparently they suck.
