Game-Changing Update!

:rofl: some skins, voice packs, bug fixes and weapons tweaks. Such groundbreaking changes it hurts.

These are certainly good things, but the shit all you fanboys have been promising is right around the corner isn't coming out for months, and probably closer to a year. Least you all can do is be straight-up with us so at least we know what to expect from this game.

What we are releasing this week is not what we have been working on for the past 6 months. Setbacks came and raped us, sorry. :(

We even might be a bit more angry about this than you.

Today is a very special day for everyone here at InstantAction, especially the guys on the Legions team. The update at 8:30 am PST has been a long time coming, and when you see everything we've included, you'll see why. We've put a lot of long hours into this update and are extremely proud to present to you all of the following changes. I hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed creating them.

Good job with the updates guys. I like the new Tribesque laser rifle a lot.

Quit lurking here tdub and go give it another shot.

I might just come back now. I like the new set up so far. We'll see if it attracts more people.
