Hello everyone! It is gratifying to know that our subscribers have caught our pre-April Fool's joke. But we feel that some clarifications needed anyway. Yes, we really thinking about f2p model, but in yesterday's blog, we wanted to show the worst of all possible variants of its use. There are a lot of pessimists among our subscribers, who believe that everything that is done is always done in even worse way than they imagine. We wanted to test are we meet their expectations? :) To make people believe in the joke it should carry a charge of truth, is not it? Something from what was written yesterday we will actually put in the game, if we dwell on f2p-model, but of course not in such a terribly exaggerated and close to stupidity form. Of course, we will not create a marked imbalance in the game giving the opportunity to buy for real money the maximum level or units directly in combat. This would have undermined our efforts and killed the gameplay. And we don’t want to do this, so as you, judging by yesterday's comments. It’s April, 1 today, so we offer you a few more "features", which will be in the game. Or maybe not :)

• Support for Steam controller and adaptationof the game interface for it. No more complicated and cumbersome panels. You will be able to manage your units quickly and easily, using only a half of your fingers!
• Direct control is now even more direct! We have long thought over the main feature of the series - direct control, and have decided not to stop on achieved. Now the player can take control of one soldier and switch to first-person view, bind its equipment on the hotkeys and purchase weapons specifically for this fighter at any moment! In first-person mode reinforcements points can now be spent not only for buying new units, but for the revival of old ones. Animators are already working hard on animations for hands holding, aiming and reloading different types of weapons, and modelers making more detailed types of weapons especially for this purpose. We were inspired by Battlefield, Heroes and Generals etc. When we tested the new camera ( we have wrote about it earlier), we tested the game in the first person mode, and we all were delighted. Thereis an idea to throw out all the tactical component fro, the game and give our players a whole new experience. We are confident that by doing so we can increase the online and go beyond the audience of strategies.
• Soldiers: Arena has always been planned as a skills-oriented action strategy, but we want to deepen further the action-component, so now during the battle you can periodically see key combinations on the screen pressing properly and sufficiently quick on which you can add reinforcements points, run Slow Mo mode, or even get the charge of "KillEmAll" skill!
• Open World and non-linear plot. Yes, we add a global map into the game on which you will be able to travel completing quests from your command or neutral fractions. The outcome of the war now depends on each of your decision!
• We often read that the gameplay of a series has not changed since 2004, so we want to add some innovations. Now, during the battle you will be able to take the quests from your command.You can now enhance the experience rate or open the desired units by completing them. We spent some money and hired as a screenwriter one famous writer, whose first name we are not yet ready to name, but his last name is Martin and he will be ready to start in the near future, immediately after the close end of his own project. So we promise you a lot of interesting and bloody quests in the shortest possible time. Destroy, come and talk, collect, break down…
