Community Event: AUS vs US TDM
The goal of this event is to get old veterans reinvested in the game, and to also give newer players a chance to get involved with the community.
Server
Unfortunately there aren't any active Australian servers at the moment. So the event will be held on the North American server: "For The Community, By The Community." Unless the Australian server situation changes.
How to Play
Two teams of ten players - one team consisting of US players and the other of AUS players - will fight it out in an arena. Players can respawn after death, but each team has a finite amount of tickets that will decrease as players of those teams die. The round ends when one team loses all of their tickets, and the team that still has tickets wins. The winning condition is going to be "first to three wins" (in other words, best three out of five rounds).
Event Rules
Don't disrupt the event - this includes anything that hinders the progress of the event and generally uncooperative behaviour.
Respect everyone - this is a community-driven event, so be nice, be friendly, but more importantly have fun!
Date
The date of the event is 19 December for USA, and 20 December for AUS.
USA: 8 PM EST, 7 PM CST
AUS: 12 PM AEDT, 11 PM AEST
Note: Dates/times of the events can change with short notice. Check the AUS vs US 2k15 group for updates.
If you have any questions, please ask any of the moderators or officers of the AUS vs US 2k15 group.
Wallpaper Engine Greenlight
Hey all, we just want to give a shout out to Biohazard and his amazing Wallpaper Engine. As most of you probably know Biohazard coded a significant amount of Blade Symphony. We would like to wish him luck with his greenlight campaign and urge you guys to check it out and maybe...just maybe...give it an up-vote if you like what you see.
The Wallpaper Engine allows you to create desktop backgrounds in 3D and 2D.
You can import models and images. Wallpaper Engine supports WebGL, HTML5, Javascript, Unity and Unreal4. You can even transform your desktop into a mini game.

Bio has hinted that Blade Symphony menuscenes could in theory be used to make 3D wallpapers, something we're looking forward to ourselves!
