Community ContributionsAn EX fan
jfv00 has made a custom launcher icon (below) from some of our old PR renders, click the thumbnail to see the full sized image on Deviant Art. We also owe special thanks to The VMan for his contribution of large set of high quality particle effects that have improved EX in ways I had not thought possible.
Future PlansStahlhagel has been churning out models for new player classes and war gear in recent months. Expect to see Assault marines and Carnifex variations in alpha testing before too long.
Help WantedWe're using a lot of stock Source sound effects in EX and could really use help from a dedicated sound effects specialist to find/record/mix/edit custom sound effects for EX. We're also looking for graphic artists to improve things like our loading screens and objective markers.
