USA/SIBERIA CONTENT
SPY MISSION & SIBERIA:
* Northern Siberia Spy Mission (24km2 terrains added, includes some updated assets from my old games). The location of this mission is marked on the USA map, in Seaportle city.
* Completing the mission rewards the player with 10 000 in-game dollars.
* There are wolves, bears, deers, etc in Siberia.
* The objective is to take pictures of objects marked with a red X, which can be seen on the map the CIA has given the player. The camera as well as some supplies, will be found near the extraction point along with some crates.
* In Siberia; you can heat yourself by placing down a bonfire with your Zippo lighter (recharges every 2 minutes or from proximity to firewood stacks in Siberian villages) or by going to houses with smoke coming out of the chimney and a black stove inside. Your body temperature is displayed as a colour on your Health status on the top left side of the screen. Teal/blue means you are cold, orange means you are warm.
* You are disguised upon entry to Siberia and because of this, you can get close to guards. But get too close and your disguise will be lost. Having any weapon in hand, including the camera - will lead to your cover being blown. When your disguise is lost, only enemies that directly saw through you and your disguise, will attack you. You can find stronger weapons, such as scoped Mosins in some Siberian village houses, as well as vodka - which when held in hand, will improve your disguise. Additionally, drinking vodka will heat up the player a bit.
BUG FIXES/ADJUSTMENTS:
* Criminals in USA will now target player when having sidearm equipped too.
* Fix for interrupted reload on KOLT wAR15.
* Wolves have had their health reduced
