Playerbase Growth
We are very excited by the recent growth in playerbase which has more than doubled the past week (Thank you STALKEROS). In order to share our excitement with the community we’d like to take a moment to update you on the game’s upcoming content.
New Models
Some of our original models are over 6 years old and we found that they could use some touch ups. The Garrison was the first to get a makeover and has been usable since update 3.13c, the Spec Ops is next in line for a remodel. Pouchyboy and Spok have been hard at work on both of these models.

New Maps
Throughout the game’s lifecycle we have continued designing and building a varied portfolio of maps. The vast majority have been multiplayer focussed, but we know many of you would like to see more focus on singleplayer. We’re happy to share that we have multiple singleplayer maps in production.
Eradicate
Intel has shown that the rebels are hiding somewhere in this sector. It's time for the Combine forces to find better intel on the rebel base location and eradicate them. This will be the game's first mission with the Combine as the playable faction.

Episodes of the Truth
Young Alice is on a very important mission: What has happened to the Rebel headquarters? The truth might be worse than she imagined. As the title suggests this will be the game's first multi level mini-campaign.

Loading Screen Images
There are currently numerous community loading screen background images being used. We'd like to expand that collection of images. Please contact us through Discord if you want to help extend the collection.
Tournament
The team is looking at organizing another tournament. It’s a perfect opportunity for the best players to show their true potential, plus we get more data on balance at high level play. You can expect another post that goes into more detail about this in the future.
Balance Tweaks and Bugfixes
One thing that will always change and shift is the balance. A very specific process where one minor change here impacts the effectiveness elsewhere. Bugs are another thing that can have a heavy impact on the gameplay. In order to make the game as enjoyable and fair as possible we will continue to fix bugs and tweak the balance.
