We wanted to start publishing a newsletter to let everyone know what's going on with the community. So here we go with the news for August.

Counter-Strike
In late July, we put up a Zombie Mod server bc our members said that they'd like to kill some zombies and to eat some human brains. The Zombie Mod server was difficult to set up and consume vast amount of system resources. As most of you saw, it was also very popular. It was full or near full 24/7 from the day we set it up. However, it was recently shut down bc our members have had their fill of brains. This should remove the lag that have been on the regular CSS server.

The next item for the CSS players is to determine which mod to play next. We'll put up a poll in the CSS forum soon asking for your input.

Battlefield 2
Our 2 servers aren't doing very well. We've seen many many crashes with both servers. Some of the crashes are from the extremely unstable BF2 1.3 server side patch. On top of that, the commander hack was made publicly available and that hack causes servers to crash due to texture overload. While we wait for 1.4 patch to be released, we are actively working on ways to identified the hackers on our server. So please understand that we are trying our hardest to keep your playing environment free of idiots, but it is not an easy job.

Battlefield 2142
October will bring the full release of this game. As we've announced previously, WiH will have a BF2142 ranked server for your gaming needs. However, cost will be increased since EA is rolling out a new licensing scheme for server operators like ourselves. Boo on EA!

Battlefield mods
Looks like POE2 is coming very soon. War is Hell will be supporting POE2 once it is out. The Owners are in the works with upgrading the server that currently serving up CSS and TS with a bigger dual dual-core Opterons w/ 2GB RAM and 3000GB of bandwidth to support CSS, TS, and POE2, EOD2 or FH2.

Just curious, but is there a street date attached to 2142. I haven't seen one.

How often can we expect these news briefs? Monthly? Bi-weekly? Whenever wihadmin gets the time in his busy schedule? "WIH August News" insinuates monthly but was just checking. :cool:

BTW Snake, diggin the new sig "Speak softly and carry a big ban stick." --Theodore Roosevelt :thumbsup:

But really, I think it says it all. We dont need a lot of drama, just follow the rules or get banned. It's that simple.

It reminds me of that everytime I post from now on.
