***ANNOUNCEMENT*** You have been warned that the TEXTURES are GARBAGE for this BETA RELEASE;***
-Don't post about the poor textures in the comment box; none one will be surprised, but every one of you that never read anything posts about it.
***BE WARNED*** Abuse of the File Rating System will result in having a claim filed against you/your entry***
- Posting a low file rating because of something as obvious as the poor textures is considered punishment for me posting a Beta release; ie: unfinished material.
- FYI - Beta means it's unfinished. It is noted in the title, description, comment box, and file docs that this is a Beta, AKA; unfinished material and a work in progress.
**Replacer Versions** All weapons are complete replacements until the end of the beta phase.
- The author finds it very useful to observe NPC's using the weapon in the game environment to ensure that results are universal, ensure full function, and are will produce balanced challenge and reward.
- Keep in mind these files are the original compiles that I use in the rounds of testing and for screenshots; It is counterproductive and unrealistic to format my released unfinished material, which will be receiving several updates, in a seperate structure than I am using to build in.
- NON REPLACERS ARE ALREADY PLANNED; WILL BE RELEASED AT THE END OF THE BETA PHASE-
***Rewards***Bug Reporting***Rewards*** If you have a legitimate function problem and are the first to post a bug report in the comments I will be sure to reward kudos to those who haven't received them from me before.
-Kudos cannot be given more than once to a single person as you are no doubt aware;
I know they're not worth much, but I'll hand them out like candy to those who report problems.
;Suggestions and requests are always welcome; though they may not appear be as timely as you'd like; which is no doubt immediately. I have many pots stirring right now with this and other releases; If it's a good idea and it's possible I'll see about incorporating it into future releases.

No, there will be no 'Fat Man' M2 Brownings on the 'to do list'.
Missile sized already stretched the reality of the dimensions past the limit.
