M3 Grease Gun

Our to-do list for overhauled Allied weaponry has shrunk once more. Thanks to Mechanic, our new animator Aarn, and other team members who helped along the way, Grease Gun has a received a complete visual rework. Its characteristics remained unchanged though; if this was your favorite weapon in the game, youll feel right at home.

Notice the dirt puffs on the ground!

Bullet Impacts

Bullet impacts have received a major step up in quality. Small arms fire now generates a much more distinct and realistic-looking effects. Youll notice them right away as dirt will shoot high up in the air, and chips and bits will fly off wooden and rocky objects.

Unique impact effects include: wood, dirt, snow, plants, rock, concrete, paper, brick, blood, water, sand, and more.

Jurques Advance

Finally, this update takes us to Jurques, a small French town near Caen. Jurques Advance is a medium-to-large sized advance map, which boasts detailed French suburbs, wide grassy countryside, Churchills, Jagdpanthers, and plenty of Bawbag! to go around. Some of you got familiar with Jurques during Beta. Thanks to your feedback, weve been able to identify and fix a bunch of issues, and get it ready for the release!
