Seven stunning maps video
As mentioned yesterday we've got a brand new video showing some of the maps coming to Legions in the future. Go check out the video archive for the new video - New Legions Maps!
A total of seven great looking maps, all with exciting and fresh themes. No release date has been given yet, quite a few of these gorgeous maps are still in the alpha stage. Go check out that video now!
IAPlayers open for business
Looks like another fan site is now up and running, Joshua has emailed me to let you know about IAPlayers.com. It's a portal dedicated to all of the InstantAction games, with news and forums covering anything and everything about InstantAction. Go check it out!
Next release brings some new maps
The next release for open beta is coming shortly with some new maps.
First up we've got Frostbyte, it's a fairly small snow map which would probably be ideal for deathmatch games. Secondly there is Blade Run, an insanely large map mostly suited to CTF, it's great for long runs and building up lots of speed.
A few bug fixes are in as well, including the removal of suiciding players causing damage.
Just as a small teaser, more maps will be coming soon. Keep an eye out for a video coming soon, you won't be disappointed!
