I really like the new sound’s in RC2 (Try to pick up some Xp and here how it sounds.) And great to here that some bugs are fixed to. Multiplayer works fine, I don’t feel any bugs in it either.
Nice update actually 🙂
hear* not ”here” sorry. 🙂
yeah I’ve started noticing new sounds with a lot of different stuff. Takes some getting used but it’s an improvement
