Summary

The focus for this update has been improving the controls and bugfixing, especially for the tutorial. We've also included quite a bit of new content such as a completely revised sniper rifle, machine gun emplacement, and even a new environment!

Existing players are strongly advised to redo the tutorial to learn the new control changes.

Next Update

As with all our updates so far we are primarily focused on bugfixing and performance improvements. Key new features for the next update are Roaming Enemy Vehicles that will spawn at higher waves and Logistics which will give you more control over your medics/engineers and also require you to manage the ammunition delivery to resupply your units. We're also hoping we can get another environment in the next update as well!
