Hey guys,

Firstly we want to apologize, because we know you’ve been patiently waiting for our v1.5 update. We want you to experience the update in it's best form, and for that to happen, we need a few more weeks to make sure the new gamemodes, new maps, performance improvements, and other content are polished and balanced. We will be moving our V1.5 release to January.

Downpour Interactive has grown a ton in the past few months, and we really think you'll like what we've been working on. We believe this update will have a little something for everyone.

We again apologize for the delay and thank you for understanding.
