FFX Squared V2.3 (Beta) Released!
The next round of attributes, features, map add-ons and other goodies isnow available on the Downloads Page! This release coincides with the final release of the Strangers "What If?" Danger Room pack and completes the mod support required from FFX Squared.

Freedom Force X-Squared is an unofficial add-on to Irrational Games' Freedom Force. It opens up over 100 new attributes which can be purchased for your characters (whether you're a modder or a player creating custom characters), giving you the option to buy abilities such as shapeshifting, telekinesis, bring inanimate objects to life to fight for you, to name but a few.

It also introduces about 20 new attack types:- offensive ones like crystallisation, vertigo, gravity control and shrinking, and beneficial powers such as shielding others and making allies temporarily invisible. A few optional rules are included to allow (for example) freezing attacks to do progressive damage, or superstrong characters to automatically snap stasis attacks.

The new attributes and states are all compatible with campaigns, danger room, EZ Danger Room, mulitplayer (subject to restrictions) and a growing number of mods.

See the online manual for details.

And some more bugs have been fixed.
New attributes (see the online manual for details):

ENVIRONMENT CONTROL: Make the sky rain fire (or acid), make magma craters appear in the ground (or water jets) - whatever you customise this attribute to do.
SUPERLEAPER: Make big horizontal jumps across the map, or up onto rooftops if combined with JUMPER
