The <a href="http://www.nival.com/eng/sa_info.html">official Silent Storm: Sentinels site</a> over at <a href="http://www.nival.com/">Nival</a> is now live. There's not too much there, but here's a list of the features from it:
<br>
<br>
<ul><li>New campaign places you in new territories and a whole new conspiracy</li><li>Earn money on missions and weaponry, hire better mercenaries</li><li>Use latest postwar weapons to decimate an even better trained enemy</li><li>Take on new mission objectives, such as infiltration, demolition and assassination</li><li>Choose your weapons wisely - new reliability ratings affect durability & performance</li><li>Adjust difficulty levels to match your gaming style</li></ul>
<br>
<br>
Selling weapons found on the battlefield was one thing I wanted in the original. That makes me happy!

Yes, that's a welcome change. I'm not all that fond of weapon maintenance, but at least it makes the engineer more useful. I just hope that there's more to it than repairing your gun after firing x amount of rounds. More personality to the mercs and less repetitive VO's would be other nice changes. Then again, I'd be pretty content with the original game + AK-47's galore.

Less frequent VOs would be fine with me. I've had this game barely a week and I've already turned off the VOs--Rocco and Klaus are obnoxiously repetitive, and Holly's accent is awful.

Another thing I hope they tweak is the interrupt skill. They need to add a hotkey which means "No more interrupts for this character this turn." I'm tired of snipers getting 3-4 interrupts per turn when they're seven miles away from the current front line and lying prone with 2 APs left.

Don't get me wrong, though, I love this game. It's just got these minor-yet-annoying UI problems like bad spelling.

No, I think I saw somewhere it's supposed to be a standalone, but I could be wrong.
Heck, I'm not finished with the original and already looking forward to an expansion. :D
I'm currently tryin' to prove that I can go on with 2-4 hours sleep/night.
Long since a game engulfed me like this one has, even more than UFO:Aftermath, but that doesn't say too much, eh.

I find some VOs quite humourous: i.e. "It's nice to kill without paperwork" or "We have big plans for your women!" still makes me smile, but yes, some are annoying and some are too long.
