A 40.1 MB patch consisting of numerous fixes and a new “Jungle” map has been released, Available from Codemasters
(more…)

Sorry for the lack of news I have been really busy.

A new site launched this weekend ProjectIGI.net which has a ResExtractor up for download already

If you have a Radeon 8500-9700 then download the new Drivers to fix problems in game.

And finally Gamespot put up a review which gave IGI 2 a 5.6 out of 10, I dont agree with all his points myself but i suppose he is entitled to his own opinion

Covertstrike have posted 4screens from the new Jungle Map and it looks sweet

Mike Rowland [Codies Community Liason Officer] just updated us with the Multiplayer changes on Version 1.1
They are;

MULTIPLAYER CHANGES

Fixed bug in weapon system causing network overload (unable to spawn, unable to change weapon.)

Possible to specify alternative network config files when starting server. See MP-README.txt for detais.

Fixed a spawn bug preventing players from sending new spawn requests if they were initially denied spawning.

Fixed problem with being thrown out from the terrain when sliding.

Fixed limiting of view-angle when lying down.

Fixed bug that left one player with no weapon when 2 players simultaneously tried to pick up a weapon.

Fixed Mission Complete credit, always showed server local player in listen mode.

Fixed so dead players don’t stand up where they died if respawning while they are in the death sequence.

Fixed so weapons don’t get stuck some times with autofire after dead.

Fixed so bomb don’t explode many times with laggy network.

Fixed so players can’t fire while disarming bomb.

Removed player-corpses’ knife-slashes which killed other players

Added the display of servername to score-screen

Enabled players who join after Obj1 is completed to disarm planted bomb

Ok in the last 2 days i have recieved a few hundered emails asking for cheats/tips/walkthroughs for IGI 2. To save me responding to everyone individually I thought I would post it here

1) The 2 cheats known to exist are Open all Levels and complete current Mission, these will be released by codemasters in the future (we hope)
2) Tips The main tip is Use Stealth more to follow
3) it takes time to write a walkthrough for games, I know absoluteigi.com started one (levels 1 and 2 available) but havent hered anything else, I am sure in a few weeks time more some will be released in the meantime use Codemasters Forum to ask for help or keep trying it yourself

Hope this clears this up.
Thanks
