Evening folks! I'm here from the DOS Reborn team to provide you with a huge update!
Sorry for the delay-- we've been working hard on this update, but a lot of us have had to adjust to new schools and colleges. As a result, work progressed a bit slower than usual with this one. Not to mention this update is freakin'
huge!!! Hope it was worth the wait!
Let's get right down to it, with a little help from one of our own!
"Greetings. I am DSN-002, more commonly known to my peers as Volt Man. I am here to showcase my unique weapon, the
Plasma Cutter."
"I use my electrically-charged claws to cut down faulty or malfunctioning power lines, but they are also useful when applied to combat. As you can see, this weapon channels that power into a close range weapon capable of dealing a shocking blow."
"That's not
all it does, however..."
"Land a hit once with this weapon..."
"...and you shall strike with more power, capable of sending your opponent far behind you. I find it useful to create space from pesky melee users, or perhaps to set up your own offensive with longer ranged weapons."
"I have taken the liberty of snapping a few screenshots of me and my brothers with it in use. Unfortunately, its lightning-quick speed makes it difficult to capture in full, but I believe you can get the gist of how it works."
"Pardon? You don't recognize the map we are skirmishing on?"
"That's my power plant, of course."
"This is the
Power Plant that I uphold. It holds a revolutionary hydro-electric power generator that exceeds the output of the other power plants that Monsteropolis employs. Unfortunately, it appears that it's being used for combat, instead..."
"In any case, that's all I have to show for now. Thank you for taking the time to learn about me. And may the odds ever be in your favor when we meet..."
"Bother... how in the world do I use this hunk of junk!?"
Thanks, Volt Man! He forgot to mention that the map was built AND textured by
Duora Super Gyro, and that the weapon was coded by
Badz and sprited by (who else?)
IamaMedalHunter! The screenshots were taken by
DarkAura, too, so big
props to them!
You may have noticed that there were no DOS weapons present on the version of the map we showed. There's a reason for this- custom weapons, while not inherently bad or anything, aren't always welcome when it comes to online play. After all, who would want to play Deathmatch in a server with this loaded and only get the juicy DOS Reborn weapons when you roll a DOS Reborn map? No thanks, man.
Instead, we decided to throw server hosts a bone and make a version of the maps where
only core weapons are present! This means that those who don't care for the weapons we roll out can enjoy the maps with all that core weapon goodness.
In other news, a few of our skins are getting updates as well. They'll be dropping in a new version of the skin pack whenever they're done. Some of them are fixing up minor issues, like color palettes, while others are getting total makeovers. We've also got more maps and weapons coming down the pipeline soon enough. We'll keep you posted as often as we can! Until next time!
