Hello all,
Today we release an unassuming bonus Halloween update to the server, containing a new map, PoolDay, as well as a new event for the Cyberpunk map that mixes future with history!
Unlike our usual tradition, the update is unnamed and unnumbered. Therefore October 2024 will always be remembered for being home to only two numbered updates: the Three Quarters Update, and Update 1.25. Totally adds up!
NEW MAP: POOL DAY
Pool Day is a small classic PVP map from CS2 built by pale1. Offering claustrophobic gameplay like no other, it is the perfect map for a Halloween jumpscare! Available in TDM, Arms Race, and King of the Hill (King of the Pool?).
NEW MAP: POOL DAY (ZOMBIE SIEGE)
A unique, much larger layout for Pool Day is also available for Zombie Siege, allowing access to an expanded waterpark-themed playable area! Defend the water slides from the zombie threat, or climb them in an effort to defeat the humans!
CYBERPUNK EVENT: THE PAST VISITS THE FUTURE
Today is exactly two years since the Cyberpunk map was first released – a very spooky anniversary! This seems like a fitting time to launch an event, specifically allowing you to play in this dystopian arena as soldiers from world war two! Hah isn’t that funny? Right? Right?…
For a limited time, you will be able to play on Cyberpunk in the PVP mode on one of the three scenarios: Stalingrad, Normandy, and AtlanticWall. The juxtaposition of the past and future should make for a unique gameplay experience, as well as a reminder to players that the past may yet visit the future some day.
Don’t ask why Mannerheim was left out … I guess it just doesn’t have enough of the right vibes.
RANDOM INTERWAR FACTS!
We are also announcing that from now on, on seemingly random days we will occasionally announce random history facts about the interwar period! Hope you have your bottle of Illegal Alcohol ready at a moment’s notice to adequately consume these pieces of information that have nothing to do whatsoever about the game!
MOB-ARENA CHANGES
We just added map descriptions to Mob-Arena, and they’re already being updated? Huh.
- The Cyberpunk’s map description has been updated to flip it to the other side of the century line, now taking place in 2122 instead of 2078. I mean we had to mention the word “century” somewhere in this post, right?
- It’s a bit more advanced for sure, but this still isn’t the year 5700 – don’t expect your enemies to blast you with space lasers quite yet.
- Also, since this is still Halloween, we have launched a slight update for another Halloween-themed map, Graveyard. An additional skill has now been added to one of the bosses. Ehh, probably nothing to worry about.
