Hmmm, there's a few things I like and don't like about the latest CC release.

Like:
Campaign mode looks fun. Not exactly sure how it will play out, but it looks fun.
Mines. As in, land mines. Since the only type that doesn't rely on an actor picking it up and placing it is the cluster mine-bomb, it's most useful type. It can also be used during the build phase to plant minefields.
Grapple gun. Haven't used it yet, but hell yes.

Don't like:
Campaign mode features no AI. Not really fun at the moment.
Drop area during skirmish mode reduced to a tiny area around your base/brain. Annoying, since you're supposed to be dropping this stuff from orbit, in stuff that flies(I use the term very liberally), so you should be able to drop it anywhere you need. Sure, it might be balancing for base-to-base fighting, but it shouldn't be for something like orbital artillery(aka "Rods Crabs of God". Yes, God has crabs)
Crab-bombs seem to be a whole lot less useful, and not just because the reduced drop range.
It seems a bit buggier, although I don't have much experience with the previous version(didn't have the registered version, anyway). Campaign mode has some bugs, and it crashed about 10-15 minutes in during Skirmish.
The three color-coded bombs have been replaced with a single bomb/detonator. While not terribly useful, it did allow more elaborate explosive design.

Bump.
HIB now includes Atom Zombie Smasher!
Makes me think I should have paid more than I did.  :-[

I had it before the pack and I can tell you it's a freakin' wonderful game. It's got some flaws but they can be ironed out with the included "mods".

Goddamnit. I really wanna get the bundle, I really do, but why must 4/5 of this bundle contain games I already own?!

Atom Zombie Smasher is a very fun game. I already owned it, but its worth getting the bundle just for that.

I got both of the previous humble bundles, but I owned 4/5 of the original games and atom zombie smasher. I don't really care about the 2 games I don't have. Since I payed over average for the other two I'd feel a bit bad about paying a low amount in case I end up liking those games.

Does acquiring gold actually do anything in Hammerfight?

I'd really like this if you'll buy it, and there are still copies left.

Thanks for being awesome!

Oh, well that's the end of that, I suppose.

You can buy weapons in the Armoury later.

You can also (in the armory) buy shields (quite useful sometimes), an automatic revive (single use), and as many throwing weapons as you care to buy.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Additionally, if you die enough times in Solo mode, you'll be offered to skip the current level at the cost of all your money.
