Wow, it’s been a while…
I’m officially back.
You might have noticed that I’ve been gone for a good while (around a month). You probably didn’t really wonder where I had gone off to. Well, I’m going to answer these non-existent questions of yours.
I’ve remade Operation: Strife from the ground up. No more crappy UI. No more buggy mechanics. No more bad handling. No more blocky arms, in fact.
I present to you… well, still Operation: Strife. Just remade so it’s five times better.
Let’s get into this devlog, shall we?
If you’re new here I have a series of these devlogs. Go check them out!

Overview
Essentially, I remade the game from the ground-up. It’s much more optimised than the crappy code I originally wrote and it allows for much more customisation.
This might shock some of you - we now have realistic arms. Yeah, you heard that right. I’m trying to go for a realistic style here so I thought I’d experiment with realistic view-models.
New weapon handling and loading system
I’m going to be honest here - the first version of the game didn’t have separate view model and guns. Each weapon model had its own arms. Yeah, bad optimisation, I know.
Now, I’ve finally learnt that Motor6D’s are a thing, so I don’t have to go through the lengthy process of adding arms in when I want to make a new gun. 
These beautiful objects are the base of my game.
in this beautiful image screenshotted by yours truly, you can see that the weapon model is fully rigged and ready to go.
New UI
I say this all the time, but my old UI was horrendous. Legend says people could catch all sorts of diseases, just by glancing at it. So, I revamped it.
It now goes for more of a minimalistic style and actually might not make your eyes bleed (10% success rate, 1/10 doctors recommend).
You might have noticed the new weapon silhouettes. I’m proud of them. heh
Obviously the UI will continue to be updated from time-to-time to make it less damaging to your eyes.
Sprinting and crouching
I think this may have been one of the most requested features to be added to the game. So, I added it because I was bored. It may or may not have taken me three hours to work out how to make the crouching system
Crouching
Sprinting
Other changes
• FPS counter, wow pog :PogU:
• Bolt now actually moves when you shoot for added realism B)
• New muzzle effects including smoke
• New “Play Legacy” button if you want to play the old version for whatever reason
• aHAHAHAHAHAH ADSING IS BACK
• Loading screen
I tried my very best to condense a month’s worth of work into one small dev-log! If you want the full experience you better play the game yourself.
