Hello all.

The 29th ID will be hosting a Search and Destroy tournament for the RO2/RS community. I have made a thread in the TWI forums General Discussion board with all the details: http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=103517

Although most players have not played Search and Destroy much, it's a great gametype and it's perfect for competitive play. It's also very easy to get into and it's very rewarding.

We've set up a server running SnD exclusively so that new players have a place to try the gamemode and so that players that will take part in the tournament has a place to brush up their skills.

So rally your friends, make a team and get ready for some good times playing competitive Search and Destroy!

In case you wondered why your game was updating, here's why!

Steam Group Discussion

Thanks to the fantastic support we've received during these past Sundays, we will be holding another session this Friday, 29th of November at 8pm GMT (3pm EST). The idea is to get Fridays as populated as Sundays, I hope you will come by and support this initiative.

Furthermore, now that the server has increased in popularity we want to start hosting Public Realism Scrimmages ("pubscrims"), something that a lot of people in RO2/RS have never experienced. Two hours after the above mentioned session (Friday 29th at 10pm GMT (5pm EST), we will hold the first pubscrim of many to come.

Both of these sessions have been scheduled within this Steam Group, so you will receive pop-up notifications when they start.

More details regarding both the Public Play Session and the Public Realism Scrimmage have been explained in the following post on the TWI Forums:

We have received a lot of support from the public players so far, I hope to see you join us this Friday for what will definitely be quite an enjoyable evening.

There has been a recent change in the Public Play Session. Before, we used to have two sessions every week. While this setup has proven efficient at times, with the peak being the server remaining smack-packed for three full days, we're now only going to have one session per week. This way we can put all our efforts into one single day instead of splitting it up.

The session has been scheduled for Sundays, 8pm GMT (3pm EST). Instead of 10-14 29th members, we are now looking at something like 20-25 29th members attending. This should surely give us the boost we need to get the server filled up. Once we have established ourselves with this single session we will look into starting a second one as well.

Of course, the sessions will still be announced via pop-up notifications. I'm looking forward to seeing you on Sunday.
