Ho Ho Holiday Update!
We've got a stocking full with a major update to Siege and some exciting changes for server hosts. Easier initial server set up and Linux server testing are just a few of the changes we have in store! Thank you so much for a wonderful 2017 and we can't wait to bring you more in 2018!
Updated Map
Siege map updated and touched up with new art and assets. The new map is entitled “Hydra” and is an Extract map.
More maps will be updated in the coming year.
Server Registration
Server admins need not register their servers anymore. Simply start a server using the Host a Server tool and you are good to go. The new server will appear in the browser for all players.
Dedicated Servers
We are testing our official servers on Linux dedicated servers. We expect to be able to release these to the public for use sometime early in 2018.

We've really had a blast playing it and I'm looking forward to see what you think.
Think positive thoughts,
say positive words,
do positive actions
and the positive grows.
You didn't forget to reset your gamma, did you?
This has been a test of the emergency flame-fest system. Please do not adjust your set.
Would be nice to do all cardboard maps like this including bridge and if you have time add a small village to each side of bridge
Thanks for some of the admin panel updates hopefully soon we will get Force weapons
The new bangable window on front porch is interesting. The water fountain thingy north allows me to shoot with my eyeballs. And alllll the supported positions make me sad
That said, I like the new take on siege. Anything is better than the training maps that were released. The training maps should have been replaced Day 1 of official release. Hydra will take some getting used to, and overall I like it.
Maybe this weekend I wont get kicked from a server and I can play it for more than 10 minutes. I'll crack some belgian beers and write something constructive.
