R7 Client and R10 Server Changelist

Our current plan is to allow Steam to test the patch tonight and all being well we will look to release R7 client and R10 servers on Wednesday morning European time. I'll update more on that later once the details are finalised.

In the mean time here is the R7 client changelist.

* SP – Updating to R7 will invalidate your single player save game. If you update you will need to play your last mission from the start. If you do not update you will not be able to play multiplayer.

Here is the R10 Server changelist

* Punkbuster is required ON for ranked servers
* Ranked servers cannot be started with a password
* Autobalance message goes to text-chat instead of in the middle of the screen
* Added weapon balance tweaks to a number of weapons – we are eagerly awaiting feedback!


We aren't going to tell you what weapon balance tweaks we have done, we want your unbiased views on the changes before we detail what has changed.

I do have to say there are some good bug fixes in there.

And that last bit makes me laugh !!
