Summer News Roundup

Posted Sep 1, 17:33 by Dr Pepper

The summer holiday season is pretty much over and everyone’s going back to work, so it’s a good time to have a quick catch-up with the events that have happened in the Self Preservation Society in recent weeks. First and foremost, EasyTarget has become the Society’s newest member, and is the first member we’ve recruited from outside the UK (Sweden, to be precise). Välkommen, Easy!

Oo Did Dat has been busy mastering DoD’s mapmaking tool, Hammer, and has already completed 2 whole maps. dod_oo_did_dat is a tight, fast-paced map with stacks of close-quarters combat opportunities. It’s proven very popular and has even been added to the rotation over on Average@Best. dod_eye_did_dat will get it world-premiere outing on Sunday 7th Sept and great things are expected :D

Speaking of A@B, over the summer they’ve kicked off a regular series of Battle Royales – 45 minute extended plays on maps not normally played on either SPS or A@B. The next is on Sunday 7th and the featured map is Oo’s latest and greatest so arrive early or you won’t get a slot on the server!

The Society has also introduced a number of new maps to our server and had a re-jig of our rotation. Commando, Flash2_b1, Fury, Harbor_b3, and Seg3c_b2 were added to the server, and the rotation has been expanded to feature 30 maps (15 official, 15 custom). We now have more than 60 maps on the server (full list here), and even more additions are planned for the next few weeks. As always, if you like a map that we don’t have yet just let us know (via our forum) and we’ll take a look at it.
