With this, we’re excited to announce a couple new PC tournaments. For those of you here in the US, check out the tournament GGL is hosting. Anybody in the UK will want to check out ClanBase. Both tournaments are run by GGL, and each have tons of great prizes to be won!
Additionally, the Steam version of Patch 1.5 is also rolling out today – so expect your game to begin auto-updating shortly.
Aside from the PC Patch, the 1.5 Linux Dedicated Server is releasing concurrently. Check the PC sub-forum for download mirrors. Of course this is not a Linux game client – just a dedicated server for GSP’s and server administrators.
Oh, and there’s more – the Mod Tools 1.3 package is also releasing today. It is an incremental update, so be sure you have the main installation package, along with Mod Tools 1.2. This 1.3 package contains the new assets from Map Pack 2; modders will be able to immediately begin work on their custom Zombie levels with the new features introduced into Shi No Numa. Be sure to visit the Treyarch Wiki for more details and download mirrors.
