Also, you can kick without lowering your weapon. You can even kick and
shoot simultaneosly. Besides that.. so far I've noticed: RPG's leave a
smoke trail, mouse sensitivity can be greatly increased.

Possible changes (I'm unsure of these ones, maybe it's just me.
Hopefully others will verify these.): Some aliens seem to be placed
differently and might have have enhanced AI. The shotgun seems
slightly more powerful. Auto aiming is has been deminished slightly,
i.e. if you're using the pistol and shoot at a trashcan with your
crosshairs above it, you won't hit it whereas in 1.1 you would (must
actually AIM somewhat now..)  :)

I haven't played the new version much yet.. more changes will be noted
as I find them.

BTW, the new shareware version is called version 1.3d (cute eh?) so
that it can't be confused with the bootleg version 1.2 that some TEN
beta tester leaked.  See www.3drealms.com/duke3d.html for more info.
