[Mr. Green]

Updates to Nation Red have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

- Chinese version of Nation Red now available
- Added a new radial comms. menu (default binding: 'z'). This makes it much quicker to ask for help, indicate powerups, etc
- Your Perk mode is now saved between games. For example if you always use Auto Perk mode, you will never need to set it again.
- All achievements are now enabled in on-line and local coop.
- Mission stats (unlocked mission and earned mission stars) will now also be saved on Steam's Stats servers. This will make them browsable plus makes it unlikely your mission progress can be lost.
- On-line games where the host has selected Auto Perk and Shared Xp will now give correct level up time to other players
- Weapon balancing: M107 reload time has been reduced by 35%. Damage from M240B, Uzi/Dual Uzi has been increased by 15%. AK47, Beretta 93R and M4A1 damage increased 10%.
- Dead zombies can now drop powerups outside the map area if at least one of the players has a Powerup Hook/Snare perk.
- Some boss tweaks: Minigun and AK47 boss' armor and spawn rate has been reduced. Brawler's armor has been slightly increased. Ak47 Boss firing rate has been slightly ramped up on later levels/waves. Melee Bosses have slightly increased armor.
