Hired Ops
Halloween in Hired Ops
Tomorrow, all the evil spirits of the world will celebrate one of the oldest holidays on the planet - Halloween, which marks the arrival of cold weather and the forces of darkness. On this day, it is customary to place pumpkins with terrible faces carved on them and a game-breaking bug inside, petting cheating cats, feeding bats with optimization and talking to ghosts of high frame rate.
In this regard, a patch is waiting for you tomorrow, in which we have provided a small event dedicated to Halloween, as well as improved optimization of the game.

What are we working on
We are glad to share with you information about what we are currently working on at Hired Ops!
So, we are in the process of switching to a more recent version of the Unity engine, which will allow us to install a new network component soon, which, in its turn, is designed to fix the desynchronization issues of those players in who still face them from time to time (often happens when using mobile modems).
Also, we continue working on optimization, as well as on a global levelling system. We will give more information about these and other features soon.
