Hey all,
The Wasteland update is finally here. Some of the changes we had planned were released earlier as a smaller patch in 0.2.5 which focused mostly on gameplay and balance. This second half of the Wasteland update features a major upgrade to the environment with an entirely new terrain system, new destructible props and objects, new compounds and more. Change list:
-- Environment--
• New GPU based terrain system for faster terrain generation.
• New biome: Desert
• Improved visuals for all biomes, with new terrain, props and effects.
• A rework of compounds to provide more of a challenge with a greater reward.
• More compound variants.
• New weather and lighting for each biome.
• Hazardous storms that roll in every 10 minutes and affect heat generation.
• Greatly expanded destruction system. Trees, buildings and many other objects are now destroyable. Shells can destroy or ricochet off objects in the environment.
-- Gameplay --
• Improvements to AI navigation, particularly getting stuck & bumping into obstacles.
• The Panzer IV replaces the M4A1 at Tier 4
• The M103 replaces the T55 at Tier 6.
• Borderless windowed mode.
• Graphics options for terrain.
We hope you enjoy the changes to the wasteland and will share more details soon about our plans for the Warfare update.
