Existing testers who have read their email or read our last post know that we are planning to open up the beta servers for a limited time this weekend. This test will be ALL about balance testing two maps:
- Hue City and
- Cu Chi
As part of this test we are updating the build and will put it through a brief test to make sure it is playable.
Now this build is special in a few ways. It is not a "ready for shipping" build like many of the previous beta waves have been. We did not stop development/work and sign off on every aspect of the game and test it for this update. There will be things we know are broken and things we don't know. However if the build is playable we plan to ship it later today to all existing testers in this state.
Our ONLY goal with this build is to get player feedback on the balance changes going into these two maps so we can take further action if it is needed before Closed Beta Wave 7.
If for some reason we end up not being able to ship this build we will make an announcement later today. Our current plan has us pushing this update live sometime mid afternoon (EST time zone) if perliminary testing checks out.
