If you drive a automotive right into a tree, you’re ejected via the windshield, the tree breaks from its stump, after which rolls over no matter hapless troopers are alongside its path. Each mission takes place in an enormous map that every participant on the server is free to discover with or with out their very own private military of hundreds.
We got down to do all of this, with full drop-in / drop-out and participant multiplayer help, and we now have. We simply want a bit extra time on content material polish earlier than we be ok with charging cash for it.
So that’s what we’re doing now. We’re ensuring everybody who buys the sport is enthralled and looks like their cash was effectively spent. We would like this to be the case whether or not you’ve a top-of-the line rig or a PC that’s seen higher days.
Thanks a lot for your entire love and help. We hope we’re doing the whole lot we will to earn it.
