Update 6 - Multiplayer Lobby, Room Scale and Oculus Support
Hello!
Multiplayer Lobby
Now you'll be able to pick the game mode, pick sides or/and just wait for more people to play with.
It's important to note that you are able (and it's encouraged) to create or join a lobby while playing offline with bots.
Known bug, game slows down while in a lobby, to fix it just restart steam, i'm figuring out together with other developers the root cause of it.
Local Hosting
Although i'm committed to provide the best experience possible with dedicated servers, there's times like this (alpha state) that are helpful, take it with a grain of salt.
Be aware that you need to open port 7777 UDP in your router, game will try to do it with upnp but is not guaranteed to work for everyone.
Dedicated servers will be available 24/7 starting on Feb 27.
Room Scale
Yep, habemus room scale locomotion. Any feedback about it is appreciated it
Oculus
Oculus support is very basic and i'm unsure if i will fully support it for EA release, i need the hardware to do anything else at this moment.
In the mean time, there's snap turning (MENU on dominant hand) as air grabbing and the grip now functions as expected.
Patch Notes
0.8.16
- Fixed choppiness while walking downstairs
- Added room-scale locomotion
- Added multiplayer lobby
- Added local hosting support (open port UDP 7777)
- Added training area (wip)
- Added buy zone
- Added lose streak cash bonus in S&D
- Re-Added bullet trails
- Oculus: grip now functions as grab & drop
- Oculus: snap turn, MENU button, air grab
Cheers! ːsteamhappyː
Update 5 - Search & Destroy, New Controls and Better AI
What's up you guys?
In this update things start shaping up and getting ready for EA release, feedback is still welcome and appreciated!
New Controls
Now they're more standardized and it should be more familiar if you've played other shooters. See patch notes for details
Search & Destroy
Yep fully featured competitive game mode for those that just gunning around isn't enough. With this addition the map has been expanded and AI has been improved.

Knives can be thrown by releasing the trigger (will change in the future to throwing/stab mode)
Voice Chat
Voice chat has been refactored from the ground up and it will not longer cause lag

Roadmap, Discord & New Play Tests
Hello guys!
Roadmap
I've created a roadmap with the intention of having more community involvement, to show what's is planned, what am i working on right now and a way for you to express what would you like to get implemented next (by voting on cards)
Cards are roughly ordered in the way they'll get implemented next from top to bottom.
Discord
Im now actively on discord http://steamcommunity.com/app/555160/discussions/0/144512753469776924/
Online Play Testing
Join us this next saturday!

Update 3 - Dynamic Recoil, New Weapons & Siege Preview
Hello!
I have an interesting update for you all
