Next Beta Build in 2017

We’ve been hard at work trying to root out and squash some really nasty networking issues, and this work will carry over into January. We tried hard to get a build out before the holidays, but we didn’t want to rush anything out to testers that we weren’t happy with.

The good news is our first beta build of 2017 returns bot play to the game, allowing you to add bots to local and online matches. Bots are so merciless, we haven’t even allowed them to use their secondary weapons yet! They’re best used in free-for-all deathmatch, as they still need some driving lessons for team deathmatch mode.

Our next beta build will include requested revisions to our Ghost Town map (it’s a bit smaller, now has more areas of interest, and is now a nighttime map), and we’re adding a new (work in progress) map to the mix for testing.

The team is still rolling out improvements and features as per our roadmap. Next major features are our vehicle loadout configurator and Base Assault Mode. If you have a feature suggestion or comment about the game, feel free to post in the forum or our Discord server.

Happy Holidays!

The team at Phantom Compass is taking a well-earned break over the next week or so. This scheduled downtime will give us some valuable recharge time. Wishing you and yours a happy and peaceful holiday season!
