Just when you thought I was out of ideas and couldn't possibly add anything else to the game, I give you Crossbows!
These are a new item at the bottom of the special weapons menu. With slow reloads and arrow flight time, this should be a good challenge. I've also made new death states, so that anyone killed with an arrow will show the arrow sticking out of their body during death animation and in their corpse. The crossbow arrows will go through the BPvests.
Speaking of BPvests, they are now brighter and easier to see in all light levels. Being able to see that your opponent has one should be helpful.
Much thanks goes to AIGAD for the Crossbow and Arrow custom models. We are very fortunate to have an expert modeler/skinner here to help create LP exclusive weapons.

When the pain of where you are becomes greater then the fear of where your going, you'll move.

The Crossbow is SWEET!! You guys did an outstanding job on putting that together. I like the way you can see the arrows sticking out of things. When I died Lam shot me in the face and I could see the arrow sticking the other way out of me. It's pretty cool.

So this could be used as a mid-range stealth weapon? SWEET! Although you could see where the arrow came from, LOL. What was the name of that British WW2 soldier that used a Claymore sword and a bow?

OK, now I'm thinking Rambo, as in explodable arrows, and John Wayne, as in Flaming arrows, and James Bond, as in tight-rope-line-shooting arrows.
More is better, better is best!

This new weapon is so cool! You guys did an outstanding job on that! I dare say that this could possibly be a marketable item for you guys.... at least until the pirates got their "hooks" into it. <Thwack> "Message for you Sir..."
