It's here.
Happy holidays, it's been a long, long time in the making, but it's here. The first official beta.
We would have liked to do more, and we have a ton of half-finished stuff, but we wanted to release in the hopes of receiving the support of more talented people.

There are also 3 dedicated servers available for players to hop on, much thanks goes out to GHG Clan for providing 2 of the servers and the mirrors for the download links, as well as Ministry of Action.
Now the bad news. We had to cut some maps due to last minute problems. We would like to release them in a patch along with proper models if a modeller would like to step up to the plate.
In conclusion, Happy holidays from the Distraction team and we look forward to playing with you all in the coming year.
Enjoy, & feel free to visit us at #distraction on the gamesurge network.
p.s: Thank you very much to all your support, we are no longer in need of any mirrors for the time being.

Definitely!
No, seriously. Kudos for the release, but I'm sure you all agree it's not yet in a playable state.

Its entirely playable, Thats why we released it.
If you feel it lacks in certain areas, like lets say, modelling.
Do something about it, you now have the mod, locally, and can replace the models yourself, we'll be more then happy to answer questions and provide support.
All we can do on our own, is patch to fix bugs,balance, add small features, and maps.
I updated the Team page on the site btw, essentially, we are down to 3 mappers and a coder.

I don't care about visuals. It's just no fun to play yet.

| Hey, I decided to quit being such a lurker and post. I'm really glad you guys have gotten so far. It has potential and I can't wait to see how it grows. I'll see if I can find anything to do and help. I think some modding would be a fun experience |

no, its not. the game feels horrible. This feels like a bad alpha, not even close to being able to be called beta. You guys should have really held back from releasing it in the state it is in. It just makes your mod look worse than what you invision it to be. |
