Thanks ETWUnofficial

Good find! I was just about to post this :P.

How are you people so quick with the news? It's unnatural I tells ye.

Perhaps this should also be posted in the Multiplayer section? I'll let you do the honors ETWUnofficial.

Things the Video Tells Us:

* A variety of customisable multiplayer modes
* Steam Achievements! (Yes! I totally predicted this!)
* Persistent online career
* Compete in ranked matches
* There are rocket launchers.

Heh, I'm a sucker for steam achievements, so maybe I'll try multiplayer this time.

great find, what exactly are steam achievements what will it include? least impressive of the 5 videos but still worth watching, and it was indeed about multiplayer, but didnt mention a multiplayer campaign so much

Steam achievements are basically little medals you get for completing certain things in a game.

Here are the achievements for Team Fortress 2, a multiplayer shooter on Steam.

They're essentially meaningless, but when done with humor I find them pretty entertaining.

Heh, just a lucky check of the official site really. I had a spare 5 minutes at work so I'd thought I'd take a quick look... and then I got all excited

Um, I'm not sure how to move it? I thought only mods could do that..

I am most excited about the rocket launchers... I love stuff that flies, is loud, involves fire and/or looks cool... and all the boxes are checked in this case

I think the ever modest Sir Beane is letting you repost it in that forum too.

The Brits had those rocket launchers in N2TW, they were fun but basically useless unless your super lucky. *Which alas, I am not and am just happy I didn't hit my own men.*

So now that we have the last dev diary, what are we supposed to do for the rest of Jan. and all of Feb.?

I suddenly feel a great deal of despair.

I'll hope for demo.........
