Personal messages from the team (In alphabetical order):

AO:

I'm very happy to see LMS Coop 2.0 released. We have a lot of bugs fixed and and quite a few new large features. Most notably we now have support for playing the expansion pack in coop, thanks to Hobbes who has worked hard on the ROE Coop support for this release. We got new maps by kaiser with new monsters, improved plasma thrower by Calimer and more. There's completely rewritten AI network code which should help make reliable messages overflow very rare now. I'm happy with the amount of bugfixes we have, it will make for a much more solid experience over versions of LMS Coop.

Calimer:

I can't say enough how proud I am of my team.  I know I have said it before but I really could not have a better group of guys working with me on LMS.  It just amazes me all the time how much we accomplish.  It has to be one of my favorite things to see all these different projects within LMS that come together to form a release.  Hobbes in particular was outstanding in this release.  It is amazing to see how quickly he is advancing in coding and map fixing.  Not only did he kick ass in getting ROE Coop to work, but he fixed a ton of bugs and also got the 2.0 Mac binary to work which was not an easy feat in the least.  We spent many late nights working on our respective work and I never heard a complaint from him once about his workload.  AO too was a huge help in this release with all of the coding features and fixes, and got the linux binary to work with the ROE code which is a big deal.  A big thanks goes to AO for all of his hard work.  Burn deserves a lot of credit for his outstanding gameplay video.  He put in a lot of time and hardwork and it definitely shows because that trailer is one of the best I have ever seen.  And last but not least, Mercykiller did a great job of revamping some of his maps on this release.  The gameplay is much improved and they look nicer too which is definitely appreciated.  Thanks guys for all of your hard work, it is truly a pleasure to work with you on this project.  Thanks goes to the testers too for all of their hard work and dedication to help us find and crush bugs, thanks guys.

Hobbes:

Well it has taken longer for this release than we had planned but I think you will be happy with the result. Finally after many requests from players we have added support for the expansion pack. Though ROE Coop is not complete we have modified 7 of the 12 maps with more to follow. This release also has more bugs fixed such as that annoying "breathing sound" bug and Hellhole will now show the player scores and advance to the beginning instead of making them stare at a black screen. Kaiser has 3 new maps and I know that Calimer has been working hard on his improvements to Radio Tower. I want to give a special thanks to XxLaVaxX. Back in January I was such a Doom3 modding noob and if it was not for him teaching me how to use some of the console commands I never would have been able to get the knowledge to help out LMS. Thanks buddy for your help over the last 9 months. I also want to thank AO for all of the help you have given me with the coding. With your help my knowledge of the Doom3 SDK and C++ has been greatly improved. Thanks also goes out to Calimer. There have been some long nights trying to get some of the work done and our chats on IRC and Ventrilo made it possible to surge forward. I know we have said it before but the LMS community has been great in supporting us and we appreciate it very much I know you will have fun playing 2.0 and hope to see you on the servers.

Mercykiller:

My stuff in 2.0 consists of revamps...a great number (actually, only three) revamps. Kf_chambers has been completely redone graphically, kf_bunker has been tweaked gameplay wise, and kf_tunnel has been "replaced" by def_tunnel, though you can still access kf_tunnel via si_map if you really want to play it. Tremendous props to calimer and Hobbes for working so hard to get this release done...AO did a great job with the coding, and BurN released a kick-ass video. I hope ya'll have fun playing 2.0 and may the grabber be with you.

A special thanks from the Team:

Thanks to the community for continually supporting the development of LMS.  You guys make it all worth it.


Final note:

I hope you enjoy the mod and please feel free to contact us about any problems you have, whether you like it or dislike it, anything. We'd really like to hear from you. Take care.
