5.03 proved to be a little more "beta" than usual, so i'm releasing a hot fix in the form of beta 5.04 today.

Give your thanks to Stahlhagel and ]OX[Typheron when you see them in-game for their bug reports and feedback.

5.04 has the following changes:

• The plasma pistol's rate of fire has been limited to one shot every 0.8 seconds.  Take your time and aim, plasma spam wont work anymore.
• The visual effect for the plasma bolt has been scaled down to 50%
• Plasma bolt damage has been reduced to 50 from 80.  It's more like a bolt gun hit than a cannon now.
• The plasma pistol combo has had it's missing materials and animation glitches fixed.
• The experimental particle system code has been removed from the meltagun.  No more red X blinding.

As usual check the Downloads Page (http://www.40ksource.com/common/wiki_manual/index.php/Downloads) for the latest patch and installer.

There is going to be a scheduled game to test the bug fixes and balance changes in 5.04 between 14:00 and 15:00 BST on Sunday the 27th.  See you there.
