So the 213 park homes rework is really cool, I really enjoy the atmosphere that's been created and how it looks more like a meth lab.

2 BIG ISSUES THOUGH!

- The meth in the desk in the tent house is too far back and you can't grab it without great difficulty

-The attic area is really cool, however you can only enter the attic because if you try to leave there's an invisible barrier stopping you. You can't duck under it or anything.

Thanks for this. Should be a patch soon fixing some of those gamebreaking errors. Funnily enough in our pre-patch testing i never ran into that issue! Standard hey?

Can't wait.

Speaking of hotel map ambiences, are there helicopters circling around outside the mission start? If not would be pretty cool to see news choppers orbiting.

There will be a lot more focus on these cool details a little later! :)

Nice addition to the feature having team view viewable with HUD off! I wish a dev would read this but it’s also nice to allow players enable player names with HUD turned off.

Makes sense

Anyone knows what this means?

Volume balance across tons of sounds

Thank you! The main reason why I can't play the game as much as I want. Everything else being too quiet except for gunshots and C2. I'm fine with gunshots being loud for those who want it, but dragging the SFX volume slider in the settings a little bit down shouldn't make everything else silent. Hopefully this allows me to play the game again without taking away the loud gunshots for those who want it.

My brain is too farted out to fully breakdown stereo width, but in essence it means that the sound will now spread across both ears more realistically now

As for the second thing you mention, what sounds are you finding too quiet? I'll make note of this for the future
