As promised we've released a new update this Week which includes our new map Barlowe Square. Currently only Hunted is available but Extraction and more will follow very soon (already playable). Quite a bit of work went in this week with new content, features, and optimization. We also touched up on other maps and CE_Biotec has made made some significant progress with another Escape map our ZPS friends may be interested in being discussed.
We have quite a few surprises for you this month and even after Full Release April 11th (almost there).
