Once again Shifter returns, delivering yet another batch of much-wanted features for your gaming enjoyment.

First and foremost, Shifter brings to Deus Ex a feature which is long-overdo: Alt-Fire. More than half the weapons now have alternate modes of fire, ranging from ricochet-shot plasma bolts to good ol' fashioned knife-throwing. For those weapons without Alt-Fire, pressing the button will activate the weapon's scope. (if present)

As a companion to the existing "skillpoints for kills/KOs" feature, players will now receive "stealth bonuses" for completing missions without alerting NPCs to their presence. The amount the player receives depends on how close they got to each NPC, and can be reduced/nullified by alterting them partially or completely to the player's presence.

The Laser Sight Mod has been reworked, now behaving like... well, a real Laser Sight. The laser will "wander" within your current accuracy; when the weapon is fired the bullet will go *exactly* where the laser is pointing at that moment.

And in the "purely for aesthetics and fun" category, Shifter now uses vaguely realistic physics calculations for dying NPCs. Roughly translated: boomstick + NPC = flying NPC. Try not to have too much fun.

And now the boilerplate: As usual there are many many many other changes, all fully detailed within the included readme.
