In the meantime, you can play with your friends by creating your own lobby.[/quote] [b]Small Soldiers[/b], We're incredibly proud to announce the launch of our #10th major update! Woohoo! None of this would have been possible without your support. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! If you're a fan of Halo infection or remember TimeSplitters 2 Virus mode, then you're in for a big treat. Happy Halloween! There are no tricks here... Only [i]treats[/i]! Things are getting spooky in the world of Hypercharge... There are pumpkins, cobwebs, and some shiny lights scattered throughout each level. But there's something else... You can [i]run[/i], and you can [i]hide[/i], but how long can you [i]survive[/i]? Welcome to the new Infection Mode! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29250844/48d6cae3dd59314c2ba5ccee74869ca2ea8a3720.jpg[/img] So, what's exactly new? Well, first, I'd like to point out that we're still working on improvements and fixes for this mode. We'd love to hear your [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/523660/discussions/15]feedback[/url] to help us further improve it. Infection mode ([i]think of it as Plague 2.0[/i]) introduces a cool new feature - "Boss Infected". The boss infected has the ability to fire green blasts that can render areas of the map inaccessible -this means survivors can no longer camp in frustrating/impossible places to reach. We've also invested a lot of time into the player bots, which is good news for offline players who will have a much better experience playing alone. Infection mode is a blast to play, and we highly recommend playing with friends. What are you waiting? It's time to [i]survive[/i]!
