Not really. I'd much rather have a "leaked" version given to the public to mull over for a few days, then have the bugs promptly sorted out.

I don't think anyone enjoys waiting a month to get the simplest shit fixed, it's fucking annoying.

i say that we get a leaked version tonight with only SMG buff and reload png file!

come to the IRC and pm me and will leak this version to you

BI-WINNING!

This is how i feel about the .60 pre release:

Smg is awesome. It is easier, but still gives a challenge.

New way for digging. All I will say is you have to switch off by right/left clicking.

Now on the left it says Duece7 (blue). When any1 kills some1 it goes on the right side.

Instead of restarting the map it stops the game and then starts a new map.

The reload is kinda rare. It only happened once, so it shouldn't distract people so much.

There are some more features there I haven't yet seen so there is more to discover. I even heard, like the mc launcher, you can put it on your desktop and go from there.

If Ben puts options to disable this and reenable this in the config folder, I'm fine.

SPOILERS, SIR! THOU HAST SPOILST THE SURPRISE AND RUINT ALL OF OURN FUN.

Here are my two cents on the matter:

1) The pickaxe should be brought back. I don't see the point of removing it.
2) Wireframes are annoying and unnecessary. Same goes for the reload notification. Remove.
3) You can configure all the buttons but not reassign the weapons to preferable buttons. What's up with that?
4) Global chat font colour should be changed to a color that's not in the block palette. White is really hard to see. Maybe magenta or yellow? Or why not customizable?
5) The server application should get a proper user interface. Here's a little doodle i made: http://i.imgur.com/qXDYo.jpg

That's about all i can think of in the moment.

They are removing the pick? This game is getting worse and worse by the sounds of it

Here is what im hearing that i dislike:
1: Pic removal
2: Wire fram
3: Reload banner
4: SMG not as powerfull

I love the new shovel, I also like the SMG's accuracy buff. This should help to quell all the crybabies that constantly complained about the rifle's superiority.

The SMG almost feels like a LMG (which is what it should have been in the first place).

1.Why remove the pick?
2.SMG looks awsome.
3.New chats fine.
4.I acually like the wireframe. To everyone who complains, you go make a game.
5.Reload banner...it's just...ugh...so obvious, in big red letters across the screen "RELOAD" I don't like it.

i8 thing the wire frames is cool

Well.

This is awesome :D except two things!

1. the wire frame.
2. the "reload" message.

other than that it's great ;)

The wireframes could be pretty helpful if you're in a hurry when building, I guess. Not to mention the team colour would help me remember which team I am on. It's very easy to forget that on most servers...

As for the reload text, well, it'll make the game feel even more like an arcade shooter which I guess is fine. And you can always replace it with a blank image if you really don't like it, I suppose.

Decreased recoil on the SMG is very welcome. Would make it a bit more useful.

I'd love a good machinegun though. Medium, bipod thing. Something to erase snipers with.

its color not colour

i dont want to sound like a troll but i can see the wire frame being exploited for wall hacks :(

otherwise really good :)

"its color not colour"

actually its spelt both ways. i think its only Americans though that spell it color.

^ true and in latin its spelt : color

but im english so its colour to me :)

Will the pixel bug for modded sights at 800x600 be fixed?

wireframe looks good for seeing if it in your range
but i got a better feature whom everyone will agree with
FASTER RELEASE OF UPDATES

Yep, I agree with your suggestion.

^same
