I was really hoping for an updated Local multiplayer option so that you could play Turf Wars locally, or at least 2p local online. It's so hard to show this game to people with such an awful local multiplayer mode. Happy for the update though. Would be fun if we got some teams together here.

"Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a wind swept field
Standing alone my senses reeled"
I`m liking the N-Zap 89 (the red one) for Turf war. It has a great rate of fire and high damage per second, makes it easy to claim turf and wipe out the enemy quickly. It comes with a sprinkler which is great for filling up your special meter as well. I would prefer Inkzooka and maybe the Kraken over Inkstrike, but it`s stilla good special for Turf. I`m still switching back and forth between .96 Gal Deco and Splattershot Pro Forged for Ranked. Definitely need a strong ranged weapon, I tried the Squelcher but it`s hard to use up close, and I`m often getting right up in enemy turf.
