Over the weekend, hectic 1v1 shooter Straftat got yet much escaped maps successful an update. The developers added 8 caller cramped deathzones alongside a further 4 maps for owners of the "maps 'n' hats" DLC, past threw successful a caller submachine weapon and a euphony subordinate for bully measure. But implicit connected the game's Discord server, amid the mine-laying mercenaries and bum-sliding shootscum, the developers besides held a canvass that revealed aboriginal plans. They asked players what they'd prefer: a 2v2 mode oregon a four-player free-for-all?
"We'll bash both," said devbrother Leonard Lemaitre, "but it's a substance of which 1 comes first."
The poll, posted connected Saturday, presently puts the presumably chaotic 4 subordinate free-for-all mode ahead, with doubly arsenic galore votes arsenic the 2v2 mode, which I tin lone ideate volition beryllium an aggravated bonding workout for connoisseurs of aboriginal 2000s multiplayer FPS lobbies. Although the canvass is being conducted with emojis, and it's imaginable a batch of voters are getting the "two silhouetted people" emoji confused with the "two silhouettes hugging" emoji, thereby splitting the 2v2 vote. Is determination an electoral committee for frenzied first-person killsports? Nah, we tin lick this with a first-to-three successful Chateaux_13_Alt_Alt.
It's precise pleasing to spot the crippled pumping retired updates. It was already an "anarchic first-person velocity dater you'll autumn successful emotion with" according to our Straftat reappraisal from Rick, and that was earlier they added different heaving clump of maps to the factual slug brawler. Including this latest update, my estimation is present 192 maps (if you ain the DLC) though I could person easy mislaid count. There's a crushed it was 1 of our favourite games of 2024.
This weekend's update adds a fewer different bits and bobs. You tin present presumption your lucifer past successful the stats menu, for example. And you tin disable your crosshair successful the options, if you are immoderate benignant of instinctually accursed execution master. Don't matchmake with me, please, I don't similar that.
