Summary:

Finally we get the weapons that we have all been craving! It works surprisingly well and really fits into the game. The new modes are a lot of fun and bring a fresh challenge to the game. I did find that some of the old maps struggled to accommodate the weapons with narrow tracks and mines been a horrible tactic. Aside from that its a neat little package and for how cheap it is you would be crazy not to jump in. I really enjoyed it and didn’t think the game could get any better but here we are!
