Red Solstice Tournament Results and...!!!
1st place: TEAM ROCK with 12305 points
2nd place: TEAM STH with 12265 points
3rd place: TEAM TFT with 12135 points
4th place: TEAM Rx with 8420 points..
Short recap:
Team ROCK, almost wiped at start with it's bold move to start the game by capturing the Point Capture, but managed to pull it out and secure the fastest evac by guarding and escorting squishy followers through entire game!
Team S*** Tier Heroes, controlled the flow of the game perfectly, every situation was well thought and and their tactic was executed flawlessly, but due to reviving followers at the dropship they lost those few precious seconds!
Team Failtrain, not executed perfectly, but definitely with most style, using terminator nukes just for showoff because they could, their downfall was being too late for the wave 15 last mission, and they lost too much time!
Team Rx, they were not hardcore veterans, but their game had the soul, it showed how a team can work very well togheter in unpredictable situations, and how things can rise and fall and change on the field. Specially noted for the Vindicator discharge in the middle of the team, and surviving that!
And because everyone showed such great moves and tactics, we're awarding FLUFFY SHOTGUN to EVERY participant of the tournament, including the people that were sitting on the bench as the backup!
And everyone who participated in the tournament will get access to closed alpha of the new thing that will be available next month!
Big thanks and appreciation to the community goes from Ironward!
The Red Solstice tournament update
[U]First of all [B]very important notice:[/U]
After careful analysis of practice rounds, we have decided to make a change to the scoring system. Staying in overrun will no longer grant extra points. Instead, every 35 seconds after wave 15, a 50 point penalty will be added.
A few more points and reminders:
- Team leaders must arrive on TeamSpeak on Sunday at 1PM US Eastern, or 5PM GMT.
- If you can sit on the bench throughout Sunday, while your team isn't competing, please let us know. We already have a few volunteers, ready to jump in a game should registered players not show. Thanks to everyone who raised their hand last Sunday on TeamSpeak.
- If you are willing to be on webcam during the stream, please let us know. We hope to get a minimum of 2 team members on the Skype Video Call, at the time their team plays. No microphone is necessary, and all you're expected to do is play the game.
- All events between Saturday and Sunday will be televised on Twitch.tv/opnoobsonline. Please bookmark the webpage at your earliest convenience.
We look forward to seeing you on Twitch, and more importantly, on TeamSpeak!
Good luck, happy practice time, and until Saturday!

New DLC and Steam Daily Deal 50%!
Ironward proudly presents Armory DLC pack and free content update!
The Armory Pack Contains:
- Ten helmets equippable by any class
- Two new weapon variants
- New Sector - Residential Sector
Free update contains:
- Three new missions
- New boss monster
- 20 new medals
Armory DLC pack:
Howell Barrex Inc. were always the best in the field of weapon production. Now they are presenting 2 new weapon variants for Special Forces to test in the field of battle. New Sector gates have been opened; explore the residential sector and face its perils.
New equippable helmets:
No matter what class he selects, player can pick one of eight class helmets to equip.
Additionally, player can choose one of two bonus helmets:
Viking helmet – because everyone wants to look like a Viking while fighting mutants.
Pumpkin helmet – because mutants are afraid of pumpkins. Or not?
New weapons:
LMG Bulwark pattern
- Weapon that excels while holding position
- Receives half the normal bonus from critical damage while holding position and has no critical chance while moving.
LMG Creed pattern
- Fires explosive rounds
- Does not deal critical damage, but damage increases with a number of mutants killed.
- Fills the gap between GAR and minigun, achieving high damage output while retaining reasonable ammo consumption.
New map, Residential sector:
Players who own the DLC pack can host games in a new residential sector. It features multitude of small residential structures connected to a central power system, and increased number of tough slow moving. It seems allowing fast food restaurants on Mars was a bad idea after all.
Additionally, all owners of The Red Solstice receive a free content update:
New boss type mutant:
The Specimen makes it’s appearance late into the game, in the overrun stage. It’s abilities make it… interesting to deal with.
Three new missions:
- Reaper turret, in which players need to locate and destroy the mighty Reaper turret. Turret will attack both players and mutants, so sometimes choosing not destroying the turret might be a good tactical decision
- Reaper assembly, where players need to locate three parts of Reaper turret and bring it to the assembly point, where the pieces will be put together. Assembled turret can be placed anywhere on the map, where it will present a great tactical asset, shredding through the enemies. Every now and then it will overheat and require manual reactivation.
- VLAK evacuation
Players will now be presented with the challenge of escaping the colony through the VLAK transport system. Players will need to defend their vehicle from being destroyed by mutant attacks while in transit.
20 New medals and achievements:
We have added the final batch of achievements to collect. Some of them are designed as an insanely difficult challenge for the most hardened players, while others can be achieved by ordinary mortals. Medals are granted per successful evacuation and completion of a story mission.
