Great patch. The new levels test my arching skillz Seeing the big drips of blood is funny. Kinda like the huge splatterfest (overestimate) in Worms The new music track also reminds me of an old techno rhythm. Forgot what it was though...

I also can't get past the first mission. No need because the auto weapon picker picks weapons I don't have access to yet. Theres my second quibble. Not a bad thing, but might "ruin" the experience for newcomers (newcomers? not likely)

Is there also plans for IRDA support? I would find it better than "Swap n Kick" in certain situations. Worth the wait I think. Don't have to pick weapons for added strategy, and BLOOD!

Love the TCP/IP-multiplayer.

One small thing with Xscale (I have a LOOX), when the CPU is on powersave, it won't connect to another PPC. Not a big deal, but just as you know it

Any plans for Bluetooth?
