Yay, hopefully this will get the forums moving again

and hurray for updates

awesome!!!!

Oh that's a one great changelog over there. I'll have to test it and leave a few comments, but I'm quite sure already that they'll be positive

Thanks for update.

Great news! I agree the shotgun had to be toned down slightly. In the AI's hands it was like a laser of instant death, never mind a whole squad of these guys coming at you, plenty of lols to be had but damn they were super deadly. I'm eager to jump in and play when I get home!
