Noticed their sims had notifications all skewed to the left, moved it so they're more readable for ya now, pup. We're going on that mission REAL SOON yeah? I know Reyes has been dicking you around for weeks now. As soon as you're goin, drag me in, I love to watch a good alien slaughter. [UNRECOGNIZED IMAGE // DISCARDING] See ya round, puppy."

"Heya puppy! I broke into their subsystems like you asked. They had a loooot of safety protocols set up for the War Games sims. So I may have disabled one... or two. Only a couple! Always said you wanted to run as fast as you do outside the sim, so... Anyways, as for news of your brother, haven't found him yet, honestly you didn't give me much to go on, yknow!? Maybe someday I'll find him, but don't count on it, ONI doesn't exactly keep solid records of the Twos. With how the world out here is lookin, I wouldn't be too hopeful. Bring me along next time you go on a mission, we could raise some hell you and I. Oh, my little hacks into ONI's tech maybe kinda left some debug text when the sim boots up... I wouldn't worry about it but, if the techs ask, you didn't see shit. Catch ya round, INTRUSION LOGGED -- DATA REDACTED // EXPUNGED"


Sundance v2.3: Mild lore updates, sprint speed increased to a flat 2 vs retails 1.6798, medal timing increased from 1.5 to 3 seconds, allowing you more opportunity to get a Killionaire in firefight when some of the non grunts show up.

2.2.7: The Steam Deck Update
HUD quality of life changes to make it comfier on the Steam Deck and other 16:10 ratio displays.

2.2.6.1 - fixed elite hud placement for "hold e to do something" messages and spartan lives in vs with radar on and off

accidentally left in the backup, whoops.

2.2.6: minor updates and improvements, plasma pistol hud flash overlay for heat meter moved to correct position, plasma repeater hud now has an ammo display because i felt like it, visors have better reflections

Special thanks: ILoveAGoodCrisp for their Foundry tool, allowing me to rebake cubemaps for the entire map at a vastly higher resolution, allowing for better reflections off player visors and glass scopes like the DMR.

it would help if i included the finalized atlas fsb now wouldn't it.
