    I wonder if you missed to mention Darn's leaving intentionally....
    Though he was considered by a lot as a jerk, noone can ignore his contribution to the community: either by testing maps or running events.
    Personally, I will miss him...

    So will they come on YouTube again? They are pretty interesting and educational :wink:

    So, I'd like to explain The Shotbow Network's logic in creating this new game, but before that let's go back some months ago.

    "We are removing Shotbow Games because it was unoriginal and imbalanced because of Hulk"

    Then comes this game, "Assault" which is a BLATANT copy of Starwars Battlefront 2. So what Shotbow is saying is that Shotbow Games was unoriginal but this obvious copy of SBF 2 isn't? Please explain to me why you couldn't just remove Hulk kit and keep your best game in my opinion...
    Thanks for listening!
