Week 1 Update: We’ve Got A Brand New Map For You!

[p]Soldiers,[/p][p][/p][p]It’s been a week since the start of our first offensive, and we’ve got a little surprise to keep morale high…
[/p][h3]Introducing: Barricade Bridge[/h3][p]Barricade Bridge is a brand-new Capture & Hold map set on a mighty steel bridge! Hovering over a cascading river, your aim is to fight your way through a confined space and gain control over the bridge.

One perfectly timed clap and you can catapult your enemies into the current, one misstep and you’re the one going for a swim. It’s a high-octane, high-stakes battle for control. And it’s loads of fun.[/p][p][/p][h3]Tweaks to the Server System[/h3][p]
We’ve noticed that a lot of you have been running into issues with our server browser, specifically when it comes to finding games in other regions. That’s why we’ve implemented a brand-new subsystem allowing for non-region locked servers and ping measurements. You’ll finally be able to play with your friends in different parts of the world and freely choose the server that best suits your needs!

Headshotting your friend on the other side of the globe sounds fun, doesn’t it? [/p][p][/p][h3]A Small Thank You[/h3][p][/p][p]We decided to drop an update so soon after release as a small thank you note to the community. It’s been one week since we’ve released into Early Access and your reaction has been overwhelming! From the frenzied discussions on Discord, to the huge amount of reviews you guys left on our store page, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Don’t worry, we’ve already celebrated with some Belgian beers. But we also wanted you to have something to celebrate with, so we hope you’ll enjoy the new map! 
[/p][p]That’s it for now, soldiers! We’re steadily cranking out bug fixes & improvements, so if you find anything that’s FUBAR, hop on our Discord or on Steam Discussions to let us know. And of course, we’re also sneakily grinding away at our next big Roadmap update… [/p][p]Patch notes: [/p]
  • [p]New map: Barricade Bridge (Capture & Hold)[/p]
  • [p]New online subsystem which allows for global non region locked servers and ping measurements[/p]
  • [p]Tweaked some networking setting that smooth out gameplay a bit more (might still need more tweaks)[/p]
  • [p]Fixed motorcycle out of combat and death from exiting bug[/p]
  • [p]Fixed potential similar issue with tanks and planes[/p]
  • [p]Increased launch force on enemies from all types of explosions with 50%[/p]
  • [p]Fixed bots sometimes still showing a golden name in scoreboard[/p]

We can’t wait to share all the cool stuff we’re working on!

Chaotic new multiplayer shooter is a WW2 version of Team Fortress 2

WWII was one of the deadliest human conflicts in history. The scale of the devastation is mind-boggling to consider. But these grave facts have not prevented generations of comedians, artists, and game developers from getting silly with it. Heroes of Valor is a more absurd take on the chaos of Battlefield: 1942. It's a class-based team shooter in the spirit of Team Fortress 2. The game recently launched into early access and currently has a "very positive" rating on Steam.
