New Map - Institution!
This is the sixth update for a new map, called Institution.
Barren is a small to medium sized storage facility with lots of dense cover and foliage around the warehouses. This map is largely suited to short range weapons such as pistols or shotguns, but also to medium range weapons like machine guns and sub-machine guns in certain areas.
This map offers allot of cover and protection in the form of crates, barrels, mobile buildings, large structures and much more. In most areas of the map the combat is condensed and fast paced.
Functionality Improvement - Magnified Sights
Grunt1914 has received a new update that allows players to magnify their shooting and aim down sight view through magnified sights.
This effect has differing properties on different sights, ensuring each sight feels unique. Certain sights can view larger magnifications and others smaller magnifications , it depends on the respective sight and the players needs.
This system doesn't replace the scoping system, this is for sights exclusively. Scopes will still zoom in based on field of view, and will still have much larger zoom ranges.
This system will allow smoother and more intuitive aiming and shooting down sights.
Functionality Improvement - Updated Server List
Grunt1914 has gotten a new selection of servers to boost the play-ability for players around the globe. These new servers mean that players in more obscure locations will be able to play the game at a much better network speed.
These lower pings will help players to enjoy the game more and provide a far more fair challenge to all players, as you can now play with people in the same network zone as you.
These new servers include areas from all around the globe, with the most notable one being a server in Johannesburg, South Africa. This one is most notable because the game has a large South African following and I (the developer) am from South Africa, making it easier and better to test the game for me too.
I hope that this will make the game alot better for those who previously suffered form lag issues, on the network side. To select the network region, simply find the regions button in the main menu and select from there.
New Weapon - Old Timer Throwing Knife
This is the update for a new weapon, the Old Timer Throwing Knife.
The Old Timer Throwing Knife was a very scarcely used weapon in among American infantry in world war history. This makes it a very interesting and exiting addition for Grunt1914.
Very few of these were ever produced and even then they were used mostly as a training weapon, not many saw the light of day, nonetheless any combat!
This deadly weapon can be very difficult to master, but get it right and its deadly! Being a one hit one kill weapon, this is one of the most dangerous weapons in the entire game - if used correctly!
The player can carry three of these per spawn and so is supplied with a few chances to hit and kill their enemies! Good hunting!
New weapon - Fedorov Avtomat
This is the update for a new weapon, the Fedorov Avtomat semi automatic rifle.
The Fedorov Avtomat was used among Russian infantry in the great world war, although with a limited 3000 or so units built - it was quite scarce. This makes it a very interesting and superb addition for Grunt1914's weapons roster.
The Avtomat rifle was designed in accordance to the Chuachat, where the designer, Fedorov - took some ideas and design notes from the larger weapon. This meant that the Fedorov Avtomat was similar to the Chauchat, but much more mobile and lighter, making it an incredibly deadly weapon.
The gun has a high rate of fire and a lightweight structure. This combines to make a very accurate and low recoil rifle that fires primarily in semi automatic mode as to not overheat.
Game Mode - Hardcore Game Mode
Grunt1914 now has a Hardcore game mode!
This is the most difficult and challenging game mode in the game. In this game mode the player is left without any HUD or in game information that the player would usually have available at their disposal. The player is also unable to see from where gunshots come when being fired on.
In this game mode the player is also left without any abilities that usually are available to the player to select at will. This extra measure makes the game mode more strategic and allot more difficult to excel at.
All of the maps are supported in this game mode, as the mode has no special requirements. Night mode maps are especially difficult on this game mode as spotting player can be very testing to achieve. The objective of this mode is similar to death-match, the player with the most kills when the timer runs out wins, or whoever reaches the score limit first.
New weapon - Nahkampfmesser
This is the update for a new weapon, the Nahkampfmesser.
The Nahkampfmesser is a widely used weapon in world war history among the German infantry. This makes it a very interesting addition for Grunt1914.
This weapon is extremely fast and lightweight, making it a firm favorite among its users. These blades were incredibly sharp and had a high pierce ability because of the sharp tip. Its smaller size also allowed it to be concealed and used as a backup weapon.
This weapon has high stab damage, but low charge and swing damage, making it useful as quick slash melee option. One hits kills are often possible with this weapon, if aimed at the upper body or head region of a soldier.
