Does this game really have split screen now?
Yep, 4 player split screen.

Seems really interesting. At the very least I'll try out and download the demo.

That's fucking awesome.
New update that should be out on Thursday.
This update includes mostly bug fixes and tweaks. We're getting pretty close to a crash-free version.
Some new things in the update:
-You can now disable certain weapons (so you can play melee only, or turn off shotguns, etc.)
-The host can disable team switching and force team switches (so now when we want to get online and dominate you guys in 3v3 we won't have to deal with everyone trying to be on our team)
-We didn't get around to adding waves for zombies mode but we did add a couple things to make it better: 1) there's now a "max zombies" option so you can start with the maximum number of zombies instead of building up to that, and 2) if a zombie goes 30 seconds without seeing you he'll die and a new zombie will spawn somewhere else. If a zombie goes 60 seconds without being killed he'll also die. This makes zombies getting stuck less of a problem.
There's also new maps, plus more options when making a new map, and new skyboxes. The radar in Infection mode recharges faster and lasts longer, and we updated the menu font! Oh and there's one new block: the crate.
Should be out by Thursday night. Next update will have Capture the Flag mode!
And probably today we'll be uploading the new trailer along with our Steam Greenlight submission!

cool, monkey. thanks for keeping this thread alive.
So due to them adding the option to disable weapons some people have been disabling everything and have turned this game into a boxing game.....it actually works surprisingly well since the game has a dodge feature and crouching helps the punches miss as well.
Feels like a Halo 2 custom game lol

Like I said, it really feels like a Halo 2 custom game and its amazing lol
For those that need a link to the Greenlight page, here you go!

Any news on getting weapons on map? disabling sprint?
Next time I can I will ask about that. I think on map weapons are a given though.
They are also VERY open to taking suggestions from the community, they are actually adding in a hookshot soon lol

Wow, looking great. I hope some day this becomes a real xbla title so it will work offline.
Would be awesome, then they could implement some real Match Making support in as well.

Hyped.
They technically already have this in zombie mode since the zombie's secondary weapon is a tentacle that can launch them to building or grab other players.
Oh also I seriously want to host a few rounds of the fists only gametype, due to some of the mechanics in this game it works amazingly.
You should really talk to them about that.
So my friend found a REALLY cool trick on this game, immediately after you throw a grenade shoot your shotgun this will cause it to explode in mid-air and if you also hit the enemy with your shotgun it will be a insta-kill at medium range. It also makes grenades A LOT more effective even if you don't hit the enemy with your shotgun blast and helps get you out of a tight situation and helps kill around corners.

I really wish this game was more popular.
It has a constant amount of people playing and its the highest rated indie game. Its decently popular, more people from HaloGAF should be playing though
Oh also I made a video of that Grenade Shot trick my friend found. Apparently a few people did know about this before but didn't want to make it public so they could use it.
I noticed this trick awhile ago too, but forgot about it soon after since I pretty much never use the shotgun. Also, I had no idea it was an insta kill up close.
One thing this game needs badly is weapons spawning on the map. Once that and CTF are implemented, this game will be super solid for scrims.
I am REALLY hoping that is coming after the CTF/spawn zone update. I've been wanting it since the game launched.
Sucks they are stuck to being an indie game too because they are still trying to figure out how to do Match Making as well.
If they get greenlit on Steam, that could potentially allow them to run some kind of matchmaking, at least in that version, right?
With the X360 coming to an end as a platform, I feel like Steam is a much better place for the game to live on, since they'll probably be working on it well into the next console cycle.
As long as I can use a controller, that is...
Yes they would easily be able to do it if they got on Steam, problem right now is a lot of people are calling it a rip-off of Ace of Spades even though it plays nothing like it and its not looking like it will pass any time soon :/
I think them releasing it on Desura would be a good start though.
If enough people vote for it they will put it on steam but sadly a lot of people are not voting for it and downvoting it saying "Its a Minecraft/Ace of Spades rip-off"
Hopefully this will change because in the new update they have an ad for it coming to Steam via Greenlight.
Ok so Update 7 is in review now and it should pass either tonight or tomorrow.

-CTF aka Murder The Flag

We need to schedule MM customs night after the patch comes out. Share some good Halo maps.
I talked to Unknown and a few others about getting some 4v4 CTF and TDM matches together and then I need to show you guys the wonders of Infection CTF.
I have a few Halo maps so I will be editing those for weapon spawns before I start customs but if anyone else has any I would recommend doing the same by looking up map layouts from Halo 2/3
I'll probably set up my Sanc remake to have team spawns, weapon spawns and flag stands on it in the next couple of days.

Update 7 is coming soon.
Will have CTF and the ability to add spawn zones!
Sounds awesome.
YES YES WEAPONS ON MAP
Update looks phenomenal. I'm so down for customs.
That would be pretty awesome. Your Sanc remake is one of my favorites.

Not sure about spawn influence just yet since we were not able to extensively test that out with the amount of people in playtest but it seemed fine.
Also yes when placing a spawn just face they way you would want to spawn and add the spawn point.
The Update should be out today and I am trying to get the Murder Miners HUB guys and JForce to do a Past, Present and Future video for the game and the studio itself since I know some people want to know what current plans are or plans even further out than that.
I think(?) they are when Match Making comes around.

Bought it yesterday and i must say: i'm a fan already.
Great game.
Great game.
Yeah they also got bitched at when trying to address all the rip-off comments. Though they put the Greenlight thing on the newest release so that should help get more fans of the game to upvote it at least.
In other news the new update is out and it is awesome

I would love to see this game get a artstyle refresh, with a brighter/cleaner cel shaded look. Anyways, all the updates look awesome.. I need to play this again.
Hey who knows, when they actually put textures on the armor and guns that was a huge thing so maybe they will add some filters in or something since they are all about adding in options for players.
