This weeks changes are mainly new sound effects, some crash fixes and tweaks to the logging system. No balance tweaks at all, I think the classes and weapons are finally ready. I've had a couple of server crashes this week, but failed to save my PDBs from that build, so I haven't been able to debug them. I'm not happy releasing a crashy server build as a Beta so we're going to hold on for a bit longer and test this for another week to two.
Special thanks to
DontAsk4470 for his work on sound effects for this alpha.
