Hello everyone!
The teams here at Antimatter Games and Tripwire are working hard towards bring you the upcoming 1.09 update. This update will not only be Quality of Life update, centered around addressing community feedback and bugs, but will also lay the groundwork for further upcoming gameplay additions, such as Multiplayer Campaign!
Two of the items coming in 1.09 are map variations of Operation Forrest and Quang Tri, adding support for Territories and Supremacy gamemodes to each map respectively. As part of this, we are looking at pushing out both of these maps to the Community Test Branch (CTB), so players can provide feedback prior to their full release in the 1.09 update!
We’ve also previously indicated that one of the things we are working towards is separating out the existing North Vietnamese factions to help them feel more distinct in weaponry, function and commander abilities. To help with that we want your input in which weapons and traps you feel these factions need! Please take a moment to fill out the following survey:

We’ll be talking more about these plans, as well as Multiplayer Campaign and how the different factions as well as their weapon loadouts and abilities will be available and changed as players move between early, mid and late stages of the campaign in the coming weeks!
Finally, we have an upcoming 1.08.5 hotfix going live shortly! This will contain a potential fix for a crash that could happen on Hue as well as a fix for a condition where players could get into a jittery movement state after proning.
