Hey guys! After a week of silence, I am presenting the 1st development update for OU.

INTRODUCING A NEW GAMEMODE: COMPETITIVE

Yes, OU will PROBABLY have its competitive mode. It is still in testing, so it will not really be a bug-free experience.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Since OU is made in Clickteam Fusion, it uses the Lacewing protocol to connect people online. Right now, it is hosted on DarkWire servers, but soon the servers will be self-hosted. You will be able to host your own OU server, too.

MEET YOUR MATCH

To get into a match, you will select a lobby. If the lobby is empty, you will be the lobby master, meaning you will be able to start the game. A regular match requires 6 players. You can start with fewer players, but the match will be unranked for everyone. In a match, everyone is for themselves against their own enemies.

ELO SYSTEM

Since there are 6 players against you, each place gives extra ELO, or decreases your ELO. When you survive a wave, you get 5 points, if you kill any enemy, you get 10 points, and if you do a task, you get 15 points. At the end of the match, your points get divided by 5 (For example, if you end up in 2nd place with 500 points, you get 100 + extra ELO). Here is a list of where you gain ELO and where you lose, and what extra you receive:

• 1st Place: ELO increase + 30 extra ELO

• 2nd Place: ELO increase + 15 extra ELO

• 3rd Place: ELO increase + No extra ELO

• 4th Place: ELO decrease + No extra ELO penalty

• 5th Place: ELO decrease + 15 extra ELO penalty

• 6th Place: ELO decrease + 30 extra ELO penalty

(Your ELO will not decrease if you are at ranks Bronze and Silver)

RANKS

Every competitive mode has ranks, including OU. Here is the list of ranks:

• Rank 1: Bronze 0-750 ELO

• Rank 2: Silver 750-1500 ELO

• Rank 3: Gold 1500-2250 ELO

• Rank 4: Diamond 2250-3000 ELO

• Rank 5: Emerald 3000-3750 ELO

• Rank 6: Master of Masters 3750-4500 ELO

After reaching 4500+ ELO, you will rebirth and unlock rebirth-only lobbies. If you have 1 or more rebirths, every classic lobby will be unranked for you to prevent smurfing.

MAP POOL

Right now, there are no maps in OU, but the goal for OU is to have a minimum of 10 maps. 5 of them are in the competitive map pool, while the other 5 are not in the competitive map pool. Maps that are not in the competitive map pool will result in unranked matches.

(Maps that are not in the competitive map pool will not be available in rebirth-only lobbies)

INTRODUCING A NEW MERCENARY: TESSA THE PHONE

DESCRIPTION:

At first glance, Tessa looks like an average old portable phone, but behind that forced smiley face is something much deeper. Even though she carries an AutoPneumatics SMG like a normal citizen at war, she can also spam-call anyone in her radius.

STATS:

• Class: Damage dealer

• Type: Standard

• Health: Average (150)

• Strength: Average (Maximum of items in inventory: 5)

• Speed: Average (50)

• Stamina: Average (150)

• Stealth: Average

ABILITY:

Spam call (Active)

Tessa sends multiple spam calls to her enemies, dealing 15 damage to each one within her radius. (Cooldown: 30 seconds)

WEAPON:

AutoPneumatics B2

Full model:

Description:

SMG that has the fastest fire rate out of any weapon, but comes with a major flaw. Magazine size. People call this SMG a bullet hose, spraying bullets everywhere it can. Only people with a strong grip can manage the recoil, so if your grip is not strong, then spray and pray.

Stats:

• Damage: 3

• Magazine size: 25

• Max. reload ammo: 1500

• Starting reload ammo: 500

• Projectile speed: Normal

• Firerate: Very fast

NEW THUMBNAIL AND HEADER

Yes, some overhaul to the thumbnail and header (By the way, if you think the mercenary models look strange, it's just because they're facing you with their backs to you.)

• Thumbnail:

  

• Header

  

That's all, folks! Stay tuned for new updates!
