<h2 data-rte-spaces-before="1" data-rte-spaces-after="1" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"> Different versions </h2>
<p data-rte-fromparser="true">Initially released on January 10, the mod was well received but eventually too many people found it too difficult, and as such an amended for difficulty version was released. Admittedly, too many traits of the classic late-1990's/early 2000's way of making mods were still present, including important areas behind pushwalls, larger amounts of enemies than what the ammo could hold, and so on. The most recent patch, <i>v1.2</i>, was released on January 31, 2020.
</p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">The first version initially took up a lot more space (122MB) than the amended version (57MB). The music featured is of notably higher quality than standard IMF's.
