Operation: Cold Blood CTE is now closed

Well, another Community Test Environment has come and gone.

Thank you to all the players that took part and tried out some of the upcoming content for Operation: Cold Blood, we have received some excellent feedback to help us tweak the upcoming release.

If you did play the CTE and haven't filled the survey out yet, please take the 10 minutes to do so. The information we gather from the survey goes a long way in helping us understand concerns with content, finding any new bugs that didn't come up in internal testing, and giving us direct feedback on the upcoming release.

The survey is available here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ColdBloodCTE

We look forward to seeing you all on December 8th for the release!

1.9 CTE - Play with the Devs Event live Now! (Day 3)

In anticipation of our upcoming Operation: Cold Blood update, our Play with the Devs event is happening NOW from 11:00 AM MST - 12:00 PM MST on the Community Test Environment.

Help test upcoming content for Operation: Cold Blood on the Community Test Environment:
  • New map: Bab
  • Two new weapons (M110 SASS and M1 Garand)
  • New Weapon Upgrades

To play with us, go to your Steam Library and download “Insurgency: Sandstorm Community Test Environment". Boot up the CTE, and please set matchmaking regions to US East. Click Play, select Co-op, select New Outpost Maps, and Find Match. All of the devs won’t necessarily be in one game, but you’ll see us floating around your matches!

During the CTE, we will be restricting the playlists to focus solely on the new content.

Please note that all devs will have a DEV tag next to their name in-game. Anyone posing as a dev without the DEV tag is not an NWI developer.

After playing, please fill out our CTE survey. The only other place the team will be funneling feedback is on our Steam CTE Sub-Forum. Please ensure to use the search function in the Sub Forum to see if your feedback/question has already been posted, and stick to ONE topic per thread.
