* Restructured and improved menu: demos menu and multiple campaigns are back, also added an advanced menu containing ALL settings of the game

Houve reformulação do menu principal, com algumas melhorias no modo multiplayer. Mudanças no layout das armas, algumas sofreram apenas alterações de cores. Não sei se tem haver com o jogo, mas os servers gringos, apesar de estarem com o mesmo ping, notei uma certa lentidão.

Para quem jogava a versão 2.4.x, pode instalar tranquilamente, pois não houve nenhuma alteração dos requisitos mínimos.
