Headquarters Difficulty and Voice Chat Special Effects

Hello,

I just uploaded a small patch with a few adjustments.

I lowered the difficulty of several aspects of the headquarters level. It should be easier to complete.

The in-game voice chat is set to high quality audio. It has environmental and situational special effects that cannot be heard using outside voice chat. The mouths on the players animate when you speak. Your voice changes during certain status effects like being smaller, slowed or changed in some way. Different environments cause your voice to change and adjust for more realism.

I am still working on the next map that will use the in-game voice chat.

Thanks,

Shawn

I decided to take some time and implement these improvements for everyone here. The game will run much faster on older hardware (180-300 fps) and extremely fast on new hardware (600-800+ fps). I fixed several potential crashes, and network problems tha…
