Free Weekend and XMas Update!

Come play The Wall for free this weekend!

The XMas Update, 1.6.4, contains more content, huge bug fixes, and optimizations, and starting Friday all newcomers can try the game free!

Ballistic Shield
The ballistic shield has been introduced into the game as a tier 2 weapon. The shield can be used to rush enemy defenses or sneak out of dangerous engagements.

Elevators
The introduction of elevators has changed the game for base-building. Create complex forts or even gain early-game advantages by peering over your enemies.

XMas Spirit
To honor the festive month, all maps are now winter-themed, complete with lights, ornaments, and presents!

Other
The networking has received yet another revamp. All OS' should be able to connect smoothly and quickly and receive no hiccups during matches. A major bug that was fixed was unstable clients actually causing servers to freeze. The new networking solution now operates asynchronously and is much smoother!
