No there hasn’t really been all that much news recently. Title Update 2 will be launching within the next week however, which will bring some much anticipated changes to the game. Matchmaking rankings will be changing, maps will have things removed and lots of other minor changes will take place.
As for the RPWS, we’re still looking to start up Autumn ‘08 in early October. Right now, nothing is set in stone until we get the mess that is school and college back underway and that we have some sort of benchmark as to who/when/where we have available.
If all does go according to plan, we should be starting early October on the usual Sunday, but with the timeslot pushed much earlier to 5pm EST. This gives a much larger window of players as it helps to incorprate Europe better without forcing them to play in the early hours of the morning in their local time.
Also, once last thing to note is that with daylight savings time ending at two different dates for both the US and Europe, there may be some discrepancy as to when exactly the games will take place. If we are going to start getting confused, then the games will be scheduled off of UTC time (i.e. the global base Internet time), and from there you can find your local time. Hopefully we can all this through those few weeks without everyone arriving an hour late and wondering where the heck we are!
