Thought you guys might be curious about the new features so...
These are from the updated sf_skywalk and 2.0.0b1

It's not much but we were mostly debugging for 6 hours and didnt get to play much.

We've got barrels...


...and a barrel spawner:


Building a defence with barrels and slams, you can see the new build/fight timer there too (not working yet though), and see how the flag is sparkling? Well it's actually alive and tries to roll back home on its own.


New protected spawn room:



And a block spawner:

looks cool. i wish i could play it.

im not so sure about the flag moving on its own......

oh, and the wall texture needs aligning on the inside of red spawn.
see, i would be a good beta tester, i like to try to find exploits

can't wait...looks really cool.

I really like the idea of the flag always trying to return home

i can already imagine the flag rolling of the map and falling into a pit. :P

It respawns nearby on the map when that happens .

I hope jlf doesn't beat me up if I release this video of the flag in action. [XviD 1.0.3]

Fun times those, eh? This game just continues to get more awesome.

I still feel very alone with all of the europeans and their accents.

I'll just say I like 2.0 so far, minus the bugs.

Barrels! That's such an awesome idea! They will allow us to make much more sophisticated forts At the same time they won't be too pre-fabricated. Once I get my hands on barrels you're going to see a lot more links in my sig.

Watching that rolling ball avi was just creepy. It probably won't have that big an affect on the gameplay, but that's a cute little quirk to have.

We, the jealous non betatesters, are willing to read about any new feature regardless how small. Tell us everything you're allowed to! :cry:

p.s. So I can start planning now: Do the barrels' explosions move unfrozen blocks? Can the barrels be frozen? Are the explosions just as powerful as the ones we're used to?

Wait and see
