Just a quick note to let everyone know that the NS World Cup is starting this weekend. NS Radio will be broadcasting commentary on many of the final matches, starting this Sunday. I'm assuming they will host HLTV servers as well, which should be a blast to watch. Get more info from the NS World Cup forums!
In other community news, NS Radio will be broadcasting a Christmas Show Saturday, December 17th (tomorrow). The exact time is still to be announced but if it's anything like their previous holiday shows, expect some surprises and lots of entertainment.
The NS team is happy to announce that NS v3.1.2 has now been released! It is a server-side balance patch to NS v3.1.1 and makes some adjustments to the recent hand grenade changes as well as improving the Gorge's support role and increasing its lifespan, something that he (she?) has needed for quite some time.
The patch is only required for server operators and can be downloaded here (both win32 and linux included). The complete changelog is listed here. Because of the small size of the file, we don't need any more mirrors.
Thanks to all the players and server operators that helped us test the patch. Enjoy!
