 Probably the most important thing for any newcomer from either IS12, or from Escalation (what three of you left that haven't already played this and somehow aren't banned) is what's changed in the gameplay. So to make things convienent here are the differences

 * '''There are weapon attachments you can get in the character creation screen.''' You can only pick two though, and putting them on your gun will slow you down when the gun is in your hands. Keep in mind not all roles have access to attachments either.

 * '''The game mode actually works correctly now.''' It can be lost and won and end like a normal round of SS13, no more waiting for the admins/referees to declare a winner, and then the game crashing.
 * '''Reduced lag (as long as there are below 65 players).''' Escalation ran like shit. It still runs like shit. This one doesn't run like shit as much.
-* '''New projectile and aiming system.''' You now need to hold down right mouse button to aim properly, and projectiles no longer float lazily across the screen towards their target.

-The country of Tavoria is facing brutal hardships. An economic collapse has left a most of the population without work, and slow government response has left the people angry. With tensions on the rise, and the looming influence of the Rhinelands and Rus regions surrounding the country, the country has been left split between a separatist faction known as The People's Radical Party (Narodna Radikalna Stranka), and The Democratic Labor Party (Demokratska Laburisticka Stranka). The Radicals are backed by the communist led and Rus funded PMC group, the "Krasnyj Pakt" (Red Pact), while the Democratic Party has sought aid from the Royal Army of Tavoria, and the Rhineland backed and funded "Blauen Krallen" (Blue Talons) PMC group. The war is only just beginning... these are dark times for Tavoria...

−	'''IScal''' (name pending) is a highly modified fork of the July 2020 Escalation release~~. Originally "Toaster Escalation", run by Toaster, MJP and [[User:Matt \| Toaster's dad]], it is now its own project, entirely separate from and unrelated to Escalation~~. IScal is a "tactical" "shooter", where several military factions with unique looks, different guns, and different languages do small scale battle, to either eliminate each other, or attack or defend specific objectives. While it has a lot of extra features, improvements, and changes, at its core it is still very much an "SS13" experience, and its controls and general gameplay feel reflect that. Do not go in expecting the "most refined 2D shooting experience", SS13 jank cannot be escaped, it is just part of the experience.	+	'''IScal''' (name pending) is a highly modified fork of the July 2020 Escalation release.
