Repeated intro

Hello, this is Taehyun Kim, director of Sudden Attack Zero Point. After extensive internal testing, we are ready to move into the Final CBT to conduct one last round of evaluation for the build. Since last year's Steam Next Fest, we have made major improvements to overall optimization. We've also introduced new maps, weapons, weapon parts, and a Black Market system. These additions are aimed at delivering a wider range of content within a much smoother gameplay environment. We appreciate your continued interest and support as we head into this final stage.
