Sorry for missing last Sunday's update. I shall now proceed to force myself through a sieve until I am a goopy mess.
In all honesty, there was nothing to report last week. This probably had nothing to do with the fact that I was working on a separate project the entire time. Shame on you for thinking that.
Anyways, I spent a good chunk of the week putting the weapons back in. The sniper-scope still has to be created and the shotgun put back in, but that shouldn't be to hard. So far the weapons include:
 - Battle rifle
- Pistol
- Sniper rifle
- Rocket launcher
- Mini-gun
But you people don't want to hear about what I did, you want to see the progress. Rather than a video, though, I've pulled together a demo of the game for everybody to try:

IMPORTANT: READ THESE NOTES BEFORE RUNNING THE GAME
INSTALLATION - You must extract the game before playing. If you don't, the level files won't be loaded and you will plummet into an endless abyss.
RESOLUTION SCREEN -
This is the first screen you see, which lets you pick your desired resolution. It's recommended if you have an older computer that you use one of the lower resolutions. In addition, fullscreen mode increases performance. "Fake 16:9" adds black bars to the top and bottom of non-widescreen resolutions to give the game a more cinematic feel.
CONTROLS -
Move/Control helicopter - WASD
Jump - Space
Crouch - Control
Run - Shift
Switch weapon - Tab
Pickup weapon/Enter helicopter - E
Fire weapon - Left click
One more thing about the demo; there's a framerate counter at the top of the screen in the middle. I ask that everybody includes their framerate with their feedback so I can continue to optimize the game. 
Well, I hope everybody likes it. Be sure to let me know what you all think.
