News and Development (Last Update: October 24th 2004)

Welcome to the new We Were Snipers section of the Crimson Creations forums. This is the latest installment of suprises that CC has kept from the public. Best yet is that We Were Snipers WILL be released within a weeks time of this news posting. So be sure to keep updated and keep checking back.

Over the next couple of days more sections and more info will be added to the forums. Also, when a good enough collection of screen shots is acquired, you can expect to see that section pop up.

V1.1 News
Finally with the release of the 1.15 patch, We Were Snipers v1.1 patch will undergo the final stages of completion. I appologize for releasing a patch so quickly requiring you to download the 600kb map all over again however, there are a few things that I wish to fix up now that 1.15 has been released.

For more information on what the v1.1 will include head here.

Screen Shots Section Update
As mentioned before, I am still collecting screen shots for a We Were Snipers screen shots section. The reason I haven't finished one yet is because I keep forgeting to take screen shots while playing the game. But rest assured, I'll get one up soon enough. And I'll try to make it easy on the poor 56kers. :)

We Were Snipers v1.2 Beta released!
That's right v1.2 is finally released... well, the beta at least. There have been MANY changes and improvements since v1.1. Here are some:

• Players choose game length
• Re-worked cinematic trigger
• Made game mechanic changes prompting faster gameplay

For a complete list of changes and features, head to the Official Download Thread and check it out.

1000 Downloads!
That's right, We Were Snipers has been downloaded 1000 times at wc3sear.ch. Not too great of news but hey. That's not bad. Perhaps soon whenever a game is started only 25% of the people joining will need to dl. Perhaps that's too much to ask. Heh, either way, 1000 downloads!

Version 1.2 Final Coming Soon
You bet, I'm currently working on the first version of another map. Once I get that released, I'll fix up We Were Snipers 1.2 Beta and release the 1.2 final. It'll fix all currently known bugs... and perhaps even contain a suprise. This new map will be hosted here in the Crimson Creations forums and all I can tell you about it so far is the name: We Were Kings.

We Were Snipers v1.3 Coming Soon!
It's about time too. This version will be mostly bug fixes but will also introduce and new hiding spot for the american defense. On top of that I've gone through and updated the cover system. There are now more places you get cover and it is more accurately dipicted in most areas (less cover for at the edge of a bush than the middle).

Now Open Source!
That's right, not only is v1.3 coming out soon. But on top of that it will feature open source protection. You will be able to open the map in the world editor and figure out how everything is done. However, make changes and it'll corrupt the map, ruining the game (and you'll need to dl it again). I suggest turning off auto save before opening the map, just in case.

We Were Snipers v1.3 Completed
That's right, We Were Snipers v1.3 is finally completed and as promised, is completely open source. You can now easily check out how everything has been done. I appologize for poor documentation but I had limited time; perhaps next version.
