***Special Thanks***<br>
-------------------------------<br>
We want to offer special thanks to Norbert -Beppo- Bogenrieder, of Infiltration, for allowing us to <br>
use his M2HB code for our turret weapons. All original code is credited to him.<br>
<br>
<br>
***Known Issues with Turret Weapons***<br>
-----------------------------------------------------------<br>
As mentioned in the Infiltration documentation, there are a few known issues with the turret weapons. <br>
They include:<br>
<br>
1) Occasionally when walking away from the turret, your weapon disappears and you can't get them back. <br>
The only way to fix this is to simply walk back to the gun, wait till it activates, then walk away again. <br>
This GENERALLY fixes the problem.<br>
<br>
2) The weapon info for the turret is NOT displayed on the HUD during network games.<br>
<br>
