Rising Storm 2 Update 1.6 Is Now Live

Grunts,

Update 1.6 is here and deploying to servers and clients now! It has been a long journey, but this run through the jungle has finished its last tour. The team would like to thank all the players and admins who have joined us along the way and become a part of our little part of the internet and gaming. As always we will strive to learn from our experiencing with Rising Storm 2: Vietnam and apply them towards our future projects to create even better games moving ahead! See you in the jungle.

Alan Wilson, Game Director of Rising Storm 2: Vietnam wanted to pass along this message to all:
I'd just like to say thanks to everyone involved in the last 7 years of development and support for Rising Storm 2: Vietnam. That includes everyone at Tripwire, AMG and all the other contractors that have worked on the game during that time; all the modders, community mappers, server admins and everyone investing their time and hard work into the game; and, as always, everyone who has played the game - and those still owning me in game. Just because we (Tripwire) have reached the point where we have to stop development, it doesn't mean anyone else has to stop and support will continue via the community team white listing community mods. I'm looking forward to enjoying the game for a long while yet, as we plot our next target in the franchise in the future - we'll see you in the jungle, as always. Roswell Six Actual out!​

In celebration of this update, Double XP has been turned on and will continue for the next week!
