Saturday & Sunday Scheduled Public Games!
Saturday & Sunday Public Game
Hey guys! It's been a little while since we've last had an officially scheduled Saturday game. As you now can guess, we were busy finalizing the patch for release. Now that the patch is live, we can get back to having our Saturday pub games! If you haven't tried out the new patch yet, today's matches are a perfect opportunity to do so! The changelog for the patch can be found here. Give it a once over to check out what we've been working on, then hop in a game to experience them yourself!
We also recently dropped the price of NS2: Combat as well as the 4-pack, so tell your friends to pick up a copy...or 4!
Since we've begun to grow the community, we won't be doing two separate game times for EU and NA respectively. Instead we are going to announce a starting time and have continuous matches throughout the day. Join up when you're ready to show some skillz!
Game Start Time:
NA Time Zone: 4:00 PM EST/1:00 PM PT
EU Time Zone: 8:00 PM/20:00 UTC
Servers:
We will be on whichever server is best suited for the majority of players at any one time
We hope to see you there!
Edit:
We are also adding Sunday to the official weekend scheduled line-up.

NS2: Combat Price Reduced!
We've dropped the price of Combat!
Tell your friends! Tell your family! Tell a complete stranger you meet on the street! You can now pick up NS2: Combat for $5.99! That's less than a Chinese lunch special!
This price drop comes right on the heels of our big 9.12.2015 update, so now's the perfect time to pick up a copy and come check out the action!
To sweeten the deal even further, we've dropped the 4-pack price as well! You can now get yourself and 3 of your friends in on the epic battle of marines versus aliens for only $9.99!
Check it out!

NS2: Combat 9.12.2015 Update
It's Finally here! After many months of work and testing, we have finally released the update that has been talked about so much. There are a lot of changes to Combat compared to the last build. We've overhauled the UI as well as how XP is rewarded and how the Hive/CC take damage. These changes are aimed at shrinking the level gap to insure everyone has fun playing as well as to eliminate stalemates and keep the game fun.
There are many other changes that have been made. The changelog is posted below. If you haven't hopped into a game of Combat in awhile, now is the time!
