Black Project's Balance Mod Version 1.0

[Black Project]

Sorry for the long delay guys, it seems like V0.2 to be quite unbalanced, favouring the cannon/rail classes unfortunately.

V1.0 starts all again from scratch, this time, balanced than the previous versions.

Then again, this Balance Mod looks for solving all the balance issues ingame.

Any ideas/suggestions regarding about WZ gamebalancing is welcome.

The mod now includes 3 archives compatibe with each Warzone builds (2.3.5, 3.0.x or Master-YYYY-MM-DD).

Is this for a 2.3.x or the 3.0 beta?

[NoQ]

Wibble199, Those Big Yellow Letters in BP's message. Read them (: (: (:

Oops

Now everyone knows I don't read the entire post (actually I do most of the time, but not when its this long)

B.T.W, just call me Wibble

Don't ask me to make a 2.3.x compatible one, since it's no more supported by the WZ Staff.

I believe that the 2.3.5 release is still supported by staff since it's still the current stable release. But it's better if the staff confirms this. But it's cool if you wanna keep your mod to the 3.0 beta releases.

Updated first post, now you have 3 mod archives compabitle for each builds (2.3.5, 3.0.x or Master)
