2nd SFR Gets a New Unit Patch

The 2nd Special Forces Regiment Unit (of Gamers Core) gets a new unit patch today. Thanks to (myself) for (my) hours of careful work in Photoshop to create a new unit emblem and patch that reflects our namesake and our unit.

Twelve New Server Maps!

We've added twelve new maps to our two CSS servers: de_forest, de_spirits, fy_bloodarena3, fy_funtimes, gg_desertstorm_v3, gg_DustTownAbandoned_Dusk, gg_giza, gg_prodforts, gg_simpsons_burg, gg_simpsons_street, gg_wmd_missle, and gg_churches_x_final_fixed. Visit our servers page to see screenshots of the new maps and to download a copy to your computer (beats downloading from the server).

We've also removed de_apehouse since it is apparently bugged. It caused our server to reboot only a few minutes into play.

Switch the Tags!

In an effort to shorten the length of our lengthy tag, we've shortened it to "GC|" / "GC-#|". Read the full announcement.

Four New Server Maps!

We've added four new maps to our two CSS servers: de_wanda, de_alps, ag_tex_rushcube, and gg_2_forts. Visit our servers page to see screenshots of the new maps and to download a copy to your computer (beats downloading from the server).

Community Map Project: cs_deadhouse

Here are the latest work-in-progress screenshots from our community lead level project: cs_deadhouse. The project is currently being modeled and designed by two of our very own: Hellspawn and Delta. They are looking for suggestions and help, so if you have any experience with level design or want to contribute, contact them for more information.

Happy Birthdays!

This weekend we are celebrating two member birthdays: Owl (18) and Raven_NL (27). Congratulations to both of them and everyone here at Gamers Core wishes you both a festive birthday filled with cake, candy, friends, and good times!

New European Counter-Strike:Source Server

We've removed out MB2 server and replaced it with a EU CS:S server instead. This was done after a long discussion with the community members and it was decided that a EU-based server was needed for our European majority. The good news to this is that our EU friends can now enjoy low pings of about 30 ms. Unfortunately, for those of us on the North American continennt, we'll experience ping times of 120 ms and greater.

The EU server will run GunGame for the majority of each week unless there is an event or practice/training, in which case it will run regular CS:S. As usual, our server is secured and administered via the Mani Admin plugin for Source:MM. If you find there is a troublemaker or cheater on our server, please feel free to look up an admin and report him or her.

I've also updated our game server tracker. You can view the updated tracker on our server page.
