I hope you'll join for a couple of games, and be sure to bring your friends for a round of FFA or Team Deathmatch! :) Feel free to leave feedback and suggestions!

Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug where the game didn't end when all players on a team had left.
- Fixed a bug where players would take direct damage from their own rockets if standing too close to the explosion.
- Fixed a bug where marines dropped a non-existent combat shield upon death. It was never there... nope, it was just your imagination.
Oh thank you so much! I will have to use that in one of my maps

How did you get the Night Elf thing?
lol, "it increases your speed.....by over 9000." hahaha nice one. this game looks very fun, i am awaiting its release.
Excellent xD .
Is it known how to do the tips/help/patch-notes thing like you did? I assume the UI triggers would do it; could you explain how or do you have a link of how to do it?
Thanks bud.
it looks like itll be a success. very clean! i like clean looking maps. thank you for not using a 'super rocket' with a 'oversized nuke' or a rocket with a 'psionic storm trail'. you kept it classy. i tip my hat to you-
Looks wicked cool
