ZhouYu just posted a pretty awesome compilation of cap routes over several maps. Take a look and maybe learn a few to add to your arsenal of cap routes. Although, as a warning, several of these are harder than they look (or maybe just as hard as they look)! Head on over to the videos section and check it out or play it below:

From the IA Blog:
In celebration of the new Legions content, we are holding yet another Facebook photo contest. Since we all love explosions - I dare you to find one person who doesn't - we figured everyone would enjoy some destructive pics. Your mission is to take an in-game screenshot of the biggest and most creative explosion. Upload your picture to the Legions fan page and tag your character with your Facebook profile name. In addition, add a "comment" with your InstantAction username (so we know who you are).
The three best submissions will be awarded the COMPLETE set of Outrider skins and helmets. The deadline is 7/6 so keep your finger on the "print screen" button and blow stuff up!

Looks like along with some happenin' skins next week, we'll also be getting a new map! Take a look at this post from the Legions Blog on InstantAction, and see the video of the flythrough:
In preparation for the large update next week, we are going to give you a flythrough peek at the new map "Forgotten." As an additional bonus, you will notice that this is not your normal Raider character going through the map. We've attached on the "Pirate Skin" to him along with the new "Skull" helmet. Take a peek at what you will be able to run around on next week!
This is the new Legions map "Forgotten" being shown using the new "Pirate" Raider skin. This map, along with the new skin and helmet with be available next week on www.instantaction.com!

From the InstantAction blog:
Next week we'll be introducing Dedicated Servers for Legions in Australia. Those folks down under have been asking for a while now that we get dedicated servers up, and can finally rejoice in the fact that they'll be able to play Legions smooth as butter. That means no more blaming lag on your mid-air misses. Prepare yourselves.
It's finally time that our friends from down-under got some smooth playin'.

Recently InstantAction announced the future arrival of a Facebook application for Legions that allows players to play the single player version of Legions (www.PlayLegions.com) through Facebook. Here's a screenshot of the leaderboards that will accompany the single player time trials:

BugsPray has been busy with Fraps recently trying to convince us that Mirage doesn't suck with his latest video Cap Routes on Mirage - Blue. He shows us a variety of routes with easy/medium/hard options, proof that capping on Mirage isn't impossible!
Got a video you'd like us to feature on Legions Players? Upload it to YouTube or any other video site and contact us - if it's good we'll put it in our video archive and maybe even the front page!

It's summertime folks, which means finals, sun, camping, beaches, cute guys girls in speedos, and most importantly, a break to free us from our obligations! To celebrate, Legions Live! will be hosting a virtual campfire to remember the good times from the last year, the players, the teams, changes in Legions and its future. Apcizzle will lead the event with help from BugsPray and Ajaxis. Show up this Thursday with your IRC connected and mic working, because we'll be bringing lots of people on air this week to chat, play contests, and engage in general tomfoolery.
Unfortunately, this also starts a break for the show. Legions Live! will be taking the summer off, but we'll be back soon! This also means that LPR will be trying to focus on bringing you more competitive match coverage, and maybe some other cool stuff (we'll see!). Stay tuned!
Stop by in IRC to chat with the hosts and get your questions on air. As always we give away prizes to those who take part in the show, and to try and get more people involved we'll be extra prizes if we reach 50 listeners - so spread the word so we can give away that little bit more! :)

It's been a month since our last update, but rest assured LegionsPlayers fans, we are still here! We've been hard at work fixing up some crazy stuff that we cant really tell you about, because if we did we'd have to actually complete it in a timely manner. Alright, just to make us work a little bit harder:

Hey everybody. Due to several reasons, Legions Live! is moving to a monthly schedule. This means there no show this week, but be sure to tune in on May 7th for our next show!

It's time to debut some Legions fanfic (fan fiction)!
Some of you may have seen Rouge's story "Serra: Rise of the Empire and Fall of the Legions" in the IA forums. Well we've worked with him to bring his updated version to LegionsPlayers complete with some custom artwork by OmniSketch. Here's a snippet:
"The Dancing Rains gets its name from the constant torrent of water that falls from her skies, and how those rains ebb and flow like the tides. It's always raining—a never ending monsoon. I'm not sure what phenomenon causes it."
"The rain demoralised the Legions. Sometimes it would ease up, then the next moment it would come down hard. Our mood was sour within hours of our boots touching the ground. Then, a day after they landed, the Tribals came."
"They slaughtered the Legions, attacking as the rain eased up and retreating when it began to pour down. Encampments and bases were hit by men who where described as demons-as madmen."
He looked at me and smiled.
"Madmen who fought in the air. Madmen, in armour, who could fly."
Head on over to the Articles section and check out Chapter 1 of his epic tale.
If anyone has written fanfiction they'd like to be featured on LegionsPlayers.com, please email BugsPray.

The_Phroo and OmniRizzle have written up some excellent guides on the basics of Capture the Flag and Team Deathmatch. Phroo's CTF guide runs through flag awareness, game states and the various positions that are usually used. Rizzle's TDM guide walks through the loadouts, covering your teammates, using objectives to your advantage, and movement.
