Open Beta 1.4 Released!Posted on June 13, 2010 by RnL Dev Team

We hope you all have had fun playing the Open Beta this last month. More importantly, we appreciate all of the support and feedback you've given us. Without everyone that stuck around through the long period between Alpha and Open Beta and the plethora of new players that have started playing, we would not be able to return these patches to you at the rate we have. With that being said, it is time to release Patch 1.4.
This week we have decided, once again, to focus on fixing bugs and implementing some of your feedback. This patch will consist of map alterations, glitch fixes, crash fixes, and a couple weapon alterations. Remember that this is just a patch and you will need to have the Open Beta 1.0 build installed before you apply it.
  
Also, here is a collection of gameplay screenshots to feature Patch 1.4 along with its changelog.
