Network Overhaul Closed Beta begins!

This month we hit a major milestone, our first international closed beta of the upcoming network overhaul.

Behind the scenes players from over 50 countries are helping test the new network code, latency issues and logging bugs for our devs to tackle in the coming months.

This is the first of at least two closed betas we will hold in the next few months - if you are keen to take part in the next one, sign up here.

New Map Pack

Next up, we’re releasing Zombie Map Pack 2 October 1st. 

It includes 4 new spooky maps, just in time for Halloween season.

To celebrate Halloween, we’re unlocking Zombie Mode for all of October for all players - no premium required. 

There’s never been a better time to check out the game mode and drive those zombies back once and for all. To celebrate, we’re holding a zombie mode tournament in October with chances to win the new maps and more. ** Sign up here by October 5th.
