AoS Headline News Recap - Issue #3

Issue #3

Ready for another rocket-powered issue? ;)


What's new?



Mat^2 has been busy working on his OpenGL client. Up above is a sample of the new main screen.



Mat^2's been messing around with a new font. Looks damn good, eh? Hopefully more work will be done for the text (e.g. scrollable text, maybe a text background with a dark shade).

Woo! \o/
Ace of Spades Linux support. No need for Wine. 'Nuff said?



Click and drag building! Workin' transparency.



Sooooo, you guys might've heard about a new weapon, more specifically the RPG. A ROCKET PROPELLED GRENADE LAUNCHER!!!!!11111



Spread the news! Most people who don't keep up with the forums are unaware of this. If you're interested in talking to others about this new weapon, there is a discussion thread here:

Kodiak wrote up a decent guide on how to defeat pro's like mikuli:

Make your shots count! Learn how to defeat them.
*If you don't know mikuli by now, you've probably either never seen him play, or succesfully votekicked him for "aimpotting".

We've been trying to squeeze a few terms in the dictionary:

See if you can add any! We have a few made-up terms (that have caught on) in there, as well. :)

Game suggestions:
What's your opinion on official clan tags? It'll be cool to have some kind of system that allowed you to slap clan tags on your clan members' IGN. What do you think? Tell us here:

The intel. What if successfuly enemy intel captures rewarded you with temporary buffs/perks? Do you like the idea?

sportsfan2 suggested when a building has been sapped, the whole structure should not go lopsided then disappear, but perhaps all of the blocks simply collapse and form rubble.

Lol, i was modding a grenade launcher. Well, back to modding it...

[EpicDude133]

Shame.
