Thanks Kean_1.

Sounds like a new pistol.

Looks like that is exactly what it is....

I know it's not feasible for most folks due to the time but if you're interested in voicing your opinions to NWI and/or want to pose your questions......

"Our Reddit AMA starts now! Come join in! "

You could even simply browse through it as I'm sure others will have probably asked the same questions that are on all of our minds.

Additional news on the update from Alex in the Reddit Q&A:

"*As outlined in our The Insurgency Legacy Continues blog post we are still aiming to release the update before the end of the month. A preview of the update will be playable on our new Community Test Environment tomorrow from 4pm CET and be available over the weekend!

More details about tomorrows CTE can be found in our announcement here.

@kean_1 As always thanks for your service lol! I saw that question! The whole reddit thing confused the hell outta me lol thought it would be a live stream video 😂 but eventually I did see that question and answer. The only real question I was interested in currently about the update ETA so... Lol oh well is what it is and as far as the testing that’s cool I would participate unfortunately I will be working 36 hours over the weekend not leaving me a ton of time for other stuff especially since they are 12 hour night shifts what can ya do!

Just want to say it's really awesome we are getting a CTE. It's neat that we can get previews of upcoming updates, get to participate in testing them, and also have firsthand insight into how much goes into fixing bugs and optimizing each round.

Seems like NWI has dynamically shifted to respond to the lower play base and the players calls for communication. Developers talking with players allays a good portion of the angst of playing a long-anticipated and yet mostly beta-style release.

No worries. I moderate for another site and monitor Twitter for news on that one so it's not a big deal to just post about the update on here for you guys. I've been following this game ever since they announced it was coming to console. ......unfortunately, it's a much longer wait for me. 😞

Really vague on optimization. Also, I didn't see anything about fixing the map exploits.

Well, I don't know if you can still post in the thread on Reddit but they have said that they will continue to answer some of the unanswered questions. Perhaps you can still submit your question(s).

To much stuff to list anymore. Here's a direct link to the I:S Twitter account. More news on new tattoos, goggles, etc. Enjoy....

I love bright colored glasses. Makes it easier for us old guys to shoot people in the face.😁
