A. As well as a number of bug fixes and tweaks based on community feedback we are going to be releasing two new maps created by community members. Wake Island makes its return to Battlefield PC thanks to the guys at Sir. Community and a map which you may have heard of called Anzio will be appearing with a name change as Operation Shingle created by Jason Brice.

Hellgate: London Patch v1.2 Released

A new patch has been issued for the first person shooter cum MMORPG hybrid, Hellgate: London. The patch has been released to live servers and can be downloaded via the game’s auto-updater. According to the official site:

This patch is has some major skill changes, a few vital balance tweaks, some pesky bug fixes, and a highly-requested new feature. First and foremost is the introduction of our in-game mail system. This is something that we know is of vital interest to our community, and is the foundation for our consignment / auction house system. Players can not only send and receive messages with anyone in

the game, but they can also attach Palladium and items to their mail. This makes getting items from one character to another – even your own – much simpler and more convenient. And while you need to be in a Station to attach or receive items and Palladium, you can read your messages anywhere, anytime.
