NOTE: This mod is released pre-SDK using somewhat untested methods. The mod and it's methods may be invalidated by a SDK release.
Furthermore, modding you game this way would be outside the bounds of Activision Technical Support.
Basically don't request support if you are running a modded game.
 
= What =
A few tweaks to the Wolfenstein gameplay, started mainly as a proof of concept for pre-SDK modding.
See Modding.txt in the modding folder for more info about that.
The focus of the mod is to make it more challenging and fun.
It seems as if the balance of the normal game was little changed from the console versions, and with the accuracy and reaction speed a mouse provides it's possible to slaughter normal soldiers very quickly.
By improving the AI reaction times, the amount of damage they can take and their accuracy combat is a lot better (IMHO).
The weapon upgrade system is also too lax in my opinion, making the standard rifles much too accurate and powerful too quickly.
By upping the price you have to budget/choose a lot more carefully.
 
= Change Log =
Increased stamina recharge and max sprint time.
Decreased sprint start delay.
FOV increased from 80 to 90.
Roll on sprint view decreased.
