In NovaWorld’s DeathMatch games, players now have a greater chance of safely clearing the runway and proceeding to waypoint 2 to meet up with other players. Players are now invulnerable for 45 seconds after take-off.

There is now a “look-down” tactical map to show players where they are during the game. Objects on the map include base locations and runways.

Player’s AWACs will show on the radar as yellow. The enemy's will now appear as purple.

Player's shootlist now shows on the radar as white circles around the current target. All other players have blue circles.

Base markers now appear on player’s radar as boxes with an X inside them. This is an aide to help bombers identify targets for bombing and also to identify those bases that require protection. For example, blue boxes are friendly bases to protect, red boxes are enemy bases.

Now you can join NovaWorld smoothly directly from the game. You do not have to exit F-22 Raptor in order to proceed to NovaWorld. This function is also supported through standard browsers.

Our NovaWorld server now allows players to choose sides or join up with their squadrons to participate in our exclusive R.A.W. games.

Server options now allow for GPS guidance for bombers in R.A.W. Players can select ground targets and receive a cue to drop bombs instead of bombing by sight. This option can be enabled or disabled by the server before each game starts.

A host option in R.A.W. now allows bombers to carry the standard 2 side-bay sidewinders for more extensive firepower.
