ATTENTION/FYI: New players
Setting a "Handicap" will make you WEAKER.
If you find online play frustrating, check and see that you have turned off Handicap.
The purpose of this setting is for personal challenges, and players that are aware that they're too good in certain servers. It will not make you stronger!
Thank you!
p.s. Generations Arena really needs the Hovertank, Dangerous Dave and the Catacomb guy
