On Monday (May 9th), the top 3 reported scores will win a key for the full game!
Here's what the mission looks like:
Now, show me your tacticool skills!
NB: I've changed the scoring system a bit on the demo to be less about speed and more about team preservation and objectives.

Character Customization
This one has been one of the most requested feature and it's finally here! A picture is worth a thousand words, right? Then a video should be worth even more. Check out the possibilities:
Obviously, the SWAT is the faction that offers the most combinations with all their fancy camos, pouches and patches.
It's just visual customization and doesn't have any impact on the gameplay. Also you'll have access to all the items, colors, etc from the get go, no need to unlock them.
Planning View
You can now decide if you want to plan your mission in your cosy killhouse or directly on the live field.
Your choice will be saved between missions and can also be changed directly in the settings menu.
UI Scaling
Not all of you are found of the size of the UI, sometimes even judging it too "mobile like". You can now reduce the size of the UI in the settings menu.
