Some of this stuff is old, but it deserves recognition

- all the new little details, sounds, and things I don't notice that makes the game feel a whole lot better
- all artwork in general
- vehicle shadows & animation really add a lot
- flashlights look a lot better
- moving while aiming fixed -- yay! my #1 request
- perfect driving controls for turreted vehicles
- the pulse cannon's laser site - way cool looking. Also, the projectiles fly right, nad the weapon is now significantly more powerful than the low-tech stuff.
- little team icons on mouseover();
- windowed mode lets me play on my vertical screen in 768x768, a nice SQUARE area, no more horizontal-only creeping around. (meteor2.ini card = 2)
- flamer guy shoots in bursts, so that i can dodge between bursts.

Great, its nice to get good feedback (people only post about problems LOL!).

The laser/pulse crosshair is the same as the others?

One of the things I DON'T like about 1.4 is how the outside of the console screen has a hall of mirrors effect (ala DooM), and when you move the mouse, the cursor leaves copy image trails of itself everywhere. Of course for some that might be cool cause it's like a Painter Nozzle.

What I mean is: I like the short translucent red beam coming out of the pulse weapon.
...and the bobbing shadow under the motorboat is a good touch too.

I like how everything has a "mouse-over title or description".... Also I like how more things have a life meter and can be shot. Now if only those pesky lights around airfields and what-not could be shot more easily....

Theres a bug about the "units info mode" too. Pressing "u" (like in M1) says at the bottom "Units info Mods activated" and ect like in M1, but it doesnt do anything, probibly because you replaced it with mouse-over unit info, and forgot to remove to "u" key command.
