How do you use the weapon rack?

Just stand in front of it and pick up weapons. It will cycle through all of them.

Wow, loving the new map so far, great job. I like the various hills and differences in elevation, and there's a nice variety of urban/desert terrain. Also great amounts of cover (which is a big part of this game). Boats are an awesome addition but the AI doesn't seem to use them yet (then again, they usually screw up my stealth missions anyway - snuck behind the enemy's base and we didn't even get out of the water before being mowed down ).

Btw, are there any future plans to implement a working, fireable cannon as seen on parts of the map? Those would be fantastic for solving stalemates...

hehe no, the cannons are just static objects and there are no plans yet that it will change one day but ya, could be fun. Ballerburg-style

From the web site:

Bummer, I always play greys. Looks like I'll have to make an overlay

*Reads huge changelog about an entire new map, numerous important fixes, improvements and whole new functions, a completely new vehicle with a mechanic that may change how an entire match plays and promises of even more revolutionary additions in the future*.

My immediate reaction:

"Awww, I wanted MORE UNIFORMS!"

(Also, damn, that map is spectacular-looking.)

More HATS!

I also just saw that defeated soldiers appear to surrender. That was an awesome detail.

That is a few updates old.
