Hi everyone! I just released the new update to Ravenfield which is centered around the new, completely reworked Archipelago level!
The level is centered around naval combat, where the Eagles are attacking a group of small islands with their aircraft carrier. To increase the chaos of battle there are now attack boats armed with autocannons and mortars, time to lay down some supressive fire for your ground troops! You can also use the new wire-guided missile launcher to take out armor from afar. Keep in mind that the missile will loose tracking after a certain distance, so don't expect to snipe that helicopter on the other side of the map out of the sky! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULuXYGRcTp8 Here's the full list of changes: Content

• Completely reworked Archipelago!
• Added Attack Boat
• Added stationary wire-guided missile launcher

• Added new difficulty level and tweaked existing ones.
• Increased tank health from 2000 to 3000 hit points.
• Increased plane machine gun clip size and added convergence to the bullets.
• Flags will now stay neutral until fully captured, which slows down attackers somewhat.

• Major AI decision making improvements to handle the multiple islands of Archipelago better.
• There are now three AI difficulties: Easy (same as old easy), Normal (slightly easier than old challenging), Hard (slightly harder than old challenging).
• Improved cover point finding, AI will now pick better spots to camp when defending a flag, and also will avoid taking cover next to (or inside) stationary turrets.
• Improved plane AI, they are way better at engaging targets now. This still needs some tweaks, but it's a major improvement.
• Sped up AI movement speed when engaging enemies, will only walk if the target enemy is very close.
• AI aiming tweaks, makes them slightly at keeping their sights roughtly on target but slightly worse at sniping.
• AI pathfinding improvements, including the ability to navigate shallow waters on foot and in some watercrafts (like the RHIBS)
• AI can no longer teamkill close teammates (especially noticable in transport vehicles)
• AI is somewhat more inclined to staying and defending a point if people are attacking it.

• Added checkbox to disable joystick binding (useful if you have a joystick plugged in that prevents other inputs from being bound)
• Fixed sniper reload animations sometimes not playing
• Capture points now uses cylindrical radius queries instead of spherical. This means that I can now make sure you can't capture flags from unexpected places (such as one floor above or below the actual flag point)
• Improved UI hiding (with home and end keys) so that the UI no longer pops up again after death. Flag capture messages are now also hidden if gameplay UI is hidden.
• Added respawn button to loadout (access it by pressing enter) while alive. You can use this instead of the suicide button (K)
• Can no longer melee or kick yourself.

• Should solve the issue of pressing spacebar causing the player character to die.
