Posted by 7 years ago

It is update time! Build 247 lives, and is live on Steam. Go download it and sink your teeth in!

The two main new features in 247 are the in-game vote system and some very basic training bots. The former should improve the ability of players to manage their play experience, and the latter will bring on our doom at the hands of Skynet.

Improvements:

Password prompt window will now join a server when pressing enter

Added key bindings for “Vote Yes” and “Vote No”

Limit pistol fire rate to 10 bullets per second (thanks matso, xDragon)
