Firstly, with this update map creators will be able to package their content into a single file (a .VPK). This will make displaying, downloading and installing the campaigns far easier for other users. The game’s matchmaking system will also be updated to reflect this, with “extensive support for custom add-on campaigns”. Valve explains:

When creating or searching for a lobby, a new option named “Add-on campaign” will let you select from among the add-on campaigns that you have installed. You can then find games or lobbies as well as create a lobby for that campaign. You can invite your friends, too. If they do not have the campaign installed, they will automatically be offered and an option to download it.

This is all going to be made possible via the release of the game’s SDK (source development kit), which are going to be officially rolled out to the userbase next week. This update will include the source files for all original campaign maps, making both the creation of new maps and the editing of existing ones a lot easier for the general population.

These high-spec machines are ideal if you want to set up and run your own gaming server. They all come with full root access - that means there aren’t any restrictions on what you can install. Basically, you can use it however you want. Host whatever games you like, restrict access or open it up to the world. It’s up to you.

Reliable and fast

Many dedicated servers are hosting in data centres which are rented from other companies. But one of the reasons we decided to join forces with Webfusion is that each of their servers is located in a datacentre which they own and manage. With their own staff on site, Webfusion can fix problems fast.

All Webfusion’s servers are located in the UK too, and connected to the internet through a tier one, superfast connection - so you get low latency and enough bandwidth for everyone to enjoy high performance. If you ever run into a problem, there’s 24/7 UK support too, so help’s never far away.

We’re talking serious performance too. Average ping times are as low as 20ms (depending on your own internet connection) and our high-end servers can support 10 - 15 simultaneous games with over 50 players.

We’ve put lots of information about our server range online. Just see the dedicated servers page for the full lowdown. And once you’ve had a look, give our sales team a call on 0800 0317 001. They’re happy to answer your questions and ready to hear from you.

It will feature new weapons such as chainsaws and loads of other cool stuff. The Expected release date for this game is the 17th November.

We will post more details on this as we get them.

For general guidance 194.154.191.x have become 94.136.46.x.

This scheduled downtime is due to relocation. Upon relocation the servers will have a change in IP addresses. Please visit your community forums for details of new IP’s which will be announced once known.

For enquiry’s about sponsored servers for CS:S, please contact red_ned on the forums. Sponsored clans can expect a public CS:S server, and access to Wireplay’s state of the art match server booking system.

More detailed stats can be found here.

Be sure to keep an eye out on our Left 4 Dead website for all the latest infomation, and of course get your clan signed up ready in advance.

What is Eternal-Silence
Eternal-Silence 2 is a multiplayer modification of the Source (Half-Life 2) engine created by VALVe Software. The mod puts you in the role of a soldier helping to fight the war between the United Terran Forces (UTF) and Neo Galactic Militia (NGM). The mod allows for extremely open-ended gameplay, allowing you to fight fast-paced dog fights in space, bombard an enemy capital ship with a heavy payload, or invade the enemy capital ship by foot and attack from the inside.

So a happy Christmas from all at Wireplay, and we hope to see your continued support in 2009.

Our public servers of course are open as usual during the Christmas period, so we hope to see you there.
