We are excited to announce the Closed Beta for Half-Life: Cross Product Multiplayer on Steam.
This beta is a major milestone as we bring the game to Steam for the first time. Selected players will be granted access via a Beta CD Key, which can be redeemed and activated on Steam; testing spaces are limited, so join early if you'd like to be involved.
HOW TO JOIN
To apply for access, join our official Discord server and follow the instructions in the channel named "closedbeta-apply" once you have verified your membership.
WHAT'S NEW IN 2.9.2 - STEAM RELEASE UPDATE
Among testing against general network quirks, and the many gamemodes we have to offer, here's some of what you'll be testing in this build:
Kasino: now uses texture-based lighting for enhanced performance and visuals.
CTF maps: now playable across all gamemodes.
Displacement gametype is now on the Instagib gametype—an accurate enough shot gets you a frag.
Bullet-hole decals now display as expected.
New sound effects for the Shield/Suit Armour Regeneration, and the Shock Rifle.
Full Steam Input support—controller vibration, PlayStation Light Bar support
In CTF, flag carriers are now marked with a flag icon on the scoreboard.
There are more details about 2.9.2 in the Discord Server, once you have been accepted into the Closed Beta program.
WHY A CLOSED BETA?
To keep testing focused, all participants agree to a short set of testing terms which are nothing heavy or complicated, but just a few rules to ensure fair play, respectful feedback, and a consistent experience across testers. These also help prevent unfinished content from being shared or misinterpreted ahead of our full release. Before diving in you'll be given a moment to review these terms.
GIVE US YOUR FEEDBACK
Once you're in, you'll see dedicated channels on the Discord Server which are available for bug reports, suggestions, and gameplay discussion. We're looking for all kinds of feedback, big or small, so don't feel you have to hold back.
So, what are you waiting for? Apply NOW! Discord.gg
And we hope to see you on the virtual battlefield!
Until next time...
