Plan of Attack

[mike]

Happy Monday, everyone! I thought I'd post a bit of an update here from the Plan of Attack HQ.

If you haven't heard, we've been favorably mentioned in the US and UK editions of PC Gamer. We've read the US article, but if anyone can share some info on the UK edition that would be great. Apparently PoA is on the coverdisk, too. Nice!

So far we've been covered by the major gaming publications in the US and Germany, and I know we've been mentioned or a demo included in mags in France, Italy, and a few others. Who's next?

There is a poll on Gamesradar (http://gamesradar.msn.co.uk/default.asp?subsectionid=1579), a UK gaming site, asking readers for their favorite mod. Plan of Attack is on the list and could use some lovin', so why don't ya give us a vote?

You may have noticed the re-launch of ModStats (http://www.modstats.com) last Friday. The new user interface is beautiful, complete with icons, graphs, and cute little pictures. Hats off to Luke from hybridlogic.co.uk for his help with the new design. There will be more new stuff on ModStats coming soon, so keep your eyes open.

When we jump onto a public server for a game or two, we're often asked what we're working on. Well, right now we are mainly focused on a new map (blaze) and a slew of new features and fixes. That includes a proper map change fix (so you won't always load a new map), version 2 of the strategy editor (much easier to use; you don't need to create a server nor edit text files), new player collision code, new weapon firing feedback effects, and a new game mode. In addition, we're also finishing up our new player models, which look super hot in-game.

So that's what we're up to. That's not a final release list for beta 4, but it's just some of the stuff that we're working on at the moment.

Oh, some community fans are working to get a POA ladder on ClanBase. If you want to throw in your vote, just head here: http://www.clanbase.com/ladderpetition_vote.php?lpid=4667

See you in game!
