****************************************************************************************** INTRODUCTION ****************************************************************************************** This is an ALPHA release. This is very, very far from what our final game will be. Expect to see a lot of temporary skins, animations, and models as this game is still very much in active development. We are eager to hear your feedback and suggestions about the game, but please keep in mind that almost everything you will see in this version is not in its final form. We are releasing it for gameplay testing purposes and to give the Battlefield Vietnam community a taste of things to come. ****************************************************************************************** PROBLEMS/ISSUES ****************************************************************************************** -We strongly suggest that you disable the auto-reload feature of the Battlefield Vietnam controls. If you do not, then you won't have the option of firing a musket and immediately using a melee attack, you will begin the reloading sequence automatically, which could get you killed in the heat of battle. -The current (and temporary) installer program may give you a wierd error message when it finishes installing. Just hit "ignore" and let it finish, it seems to have no effect on the installation whatsoever. ****************************************************************************************** CURRENT FEATURES ****************************************************************************************** -18th century warfare with muzzle-loading muskets! Make your shots count or prepare for intense melee combat. -4 different muskets to choose from, including the Brown Bess with bayonet, the Blunderbuss, and the Kentucky Long Rifle -Lingering smoke effects. After a few seconds of fighting, the battlefield will be smoke- filled mayhem. -Right-click bayonet attack. Don't worry about trying to switch to melee in the middle of combat, if your musket has a bayonet, just use the alternate attack to stab with it. -Single-shot, slow-firing weapons allow for huge servers to play with very little lag! 64 player servers are actually playable when there's no full-auto fire everywhere. ****************************************************************************************** UPCOMING FEATURES ****************************************************************************************** You can expect the following in future versions of Insurrection 1776. -Unique player models for every class with historically accurate uniforms/attire. -Both mobile and stationary artillery including cannons, mortars and howitzers. -Extensive fort combat using destructible buildings and operational gates. -Huge naval combat system with features including but not limited to: -Large battleships with many guns, more maneuverable boats with less firepower, and many other types of 18th century watercraft right down to the simple rowboat. -Every boat (except small transport craft like rowboats) will have lowerable gangplanks that can be used to board enemy ships, resulting in an intense on- board melee. -Objective-driven maps, such as storming a port, capturing a supply of artillery, and then using it to bombard a fort. -New weapons and equipment such as the cutlass sword, belt knife, telescope and powder keg ****************************************************************************************** LEGAL STUFF ****************************************************************************************** Insurrection 1776 is a mod of Battlefield Vietnam created by Dice and published by Electronic Arts.
