Ho Ho Holiday Update!
We've got a stocking full with a major update to Siege and some exciting changes for server hosts. Easier initial server set up and Linux server testing are just a few of the changes we have in store! Thank you so much for a wonderful 2017 and we can't wait to bring you more in 2018!
Updated Map
Siege map updated and touched up with new art and assets. The new map is entitled “Hydra” and is an Extract map.
More maps will be updated in the coming year.
Server Registration
Server admins need not register their servers anymore. Simply start a server using the Host a Server tool and you are good to go. The new server will appear in the browser for all players.
Dedicated Servers
We are testing our official servers on Linux dedicated servers. We expect to be able to release these to the public for use sometime early in 2018.
