Hi everyone,

We recently got back from our holidays (an entire week off) and got to work immediately on the feedback you have given us on the first Beta 1.1.14 we released. We do have another Beta now (1.1.15) ready for you guys, before the big release to everyone on the public version. The goal of this second round of beta is to share with you our latest improvements and fixes and of course, make sure that everything goes smoothly.

Once again, let us know what you think! We went through some huge changes regarding the weapons balance, but everything will be explained by Meedoc in this thread: http://forums.amplitude-studios.com/showthread.php?19080-Beta-patch-1.1.15-Balance-Update
