A huge update for the iCOMBAT Engine (iCE) is releasing on February 24th. The update features a new look with the same easy-to-use interface you love. Simply connect to the internet and launch iCE to automatically update. We recommend ensuring your equipment is all on the latest version as well prior to gaming.
New features include:
- Preset Game Modes – requires a license, permits both ranked and unranked games of Juggernaut, SWAT, Hells Bells, Elimination, Blackhawk Down, Supply Grab, etc. Game modes are standardized matches, some of which require certain props. Assign your players to the appropriate team and you’re off! Some games explained at http://waukesha.icombat.com/lasertagexperience/scenarios/
- New Winning Modes or Missions – The triggers that automatically end games have been expanded. Aside from the last man/team standing and time limit, Team Deathmatch, Elimination, and Tickets have been added. Tickets give each team a number of deaths that players share. Every time a player dies, the team loses a ticket. Whoever reaches 0 first loses.
- Improved Armory with Sync Check – Better layout and sync mapping. You can see which vests are synced, and which gear is synced to each vest. This makes it easy to oversee all of your equipment while preventing mix-ups.
- Save Device Name separately from Player Name
- Improved performance of match screen – loading times have been greatly reduced.
- Redesigned Match Screen with Scores – New match screen layout to more easily distinguish teams, scores, and timelines. See who shot who and declare a winner all on a screen designed for that Game Mode.
- Improved Match Timer – Timer has been redesigned and placed in a central location for easier identification.
- New Match Notifications – Detailed, visual display of who shot who and what is happening during the game, all in a central location.
- Simplified iCE Menu
