Contagion Update for the new year!

Contagion Update out! Now with 100% less holiday cheer!

I don't know about you guys, but I used to be terrible at taking my Christmas tree down. It would stick around until it became a bona fide fire hazard. But eventually, it found it's way to the curb, and a nice man would come and take it away to the Old Christmas Trees Home.

Anyway, now we have a plastic Christmas tree and we promptly put it away after it's all said and done. I don't know what the moral of that story is, but the new update is out and all our old, out of season holiday decorations have been stowed safely away before they get the chance to burn the joint down. The old maps are back to their gritty, zombie bitten selves and the zombies are no longer as cheerful as they once were.

The official servers will be updated shortly; the patch will be out before they are updated, but we'll try to keep the downtime to a minimum. The servers should now all be up and running with the latest patch!

The changelog is short and sweet, but here it is:

-Removed Holiday content
-Removed Holiday option from multiplayer menu
-Bugfix in ContagionWorkshop.exe; missing tags now available

Thanks to everyone out there who's been patient with us (aw hell, and thanks to those who have not. Someone's got to keep us on our toes!) Now that we're all done with the eggnog, We've got a bunch of new, seasonally appropriate, potentially dangerous stuff brewing downstairs. We should have some more substantial updates coming soon!
