The most comprehensive update for EoD is finished and ready for download! If you have purchased the game you'll automaticaly get the update via Steam. Here are the most important changes. To see more detailed information read the changelog below. By the way: a lot of these changes were suggestions by the community! Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any ideas for improvements or new things to add. Unfortunately not everything can be added right away. There are still plans to add a korean soldiers team and another map.

Leaderboard for singleplayer

A leaderboard for singleplayer highscores was implemented so you can compare your scores with others. I.e. what is the best lap of your friend in Jocoseness racing map?

Weapon sway and weapon accuracy, Stamina

A lot of improvements have been done on all the weapons. Soldiers will sway the weapons more realistic while running and also you can't shoot or reload anymore while running. Also the walk/run/ladder climb/swim speeds have been changed to more realistic values. In multiplayer the stamina was reduced so players can't run around all the time and must be thrifty with their breath.

Finally! Multiplayer bots!

Creating a room and wait for other players can be very very boring and this was the reason why no rooms/players are online most of the time. The reason was in the code of the AI: no network sync wich can cause a lot of trouble in online games. Now the bots are synced and you can play with bots and your friends online! Of course the admin can decide to kick the bots whenever he wants. The new bots are just available in 'Conquest' mode and maybe will be added to other game modes in a later update. Of course the bots have been generally improved, so you will notice a difference to the bots in earlier versions of EoD - also in singleplayer!

New maps Da Nang, Face to face and NVA Junglebase

In the last news post Da Nang and Face to face have been introduced. A third new map is NVA junglebase, wich was inspired by the game 'Vietcong 2'. Of course it's completely different and not just a clone. The map is very exciting cause it has a lot of corners to hide and 2 tunnels to get to the controlpoints on a differnt way.

NVA Junglebase
