Beta Patch 1
Back in October we released a followup patch for our Beta client. The patch squashed a few bugs and added in some new content. A full list of mirrors and information can be found here.
Patch 2
Patch 2 is in final internal testing, it should be released sometime soon once we've polished it all off. Patch 2 adds in newer content, changes some balancing and fixes a few errors that slipped int Patch 1. Expect that soon.

Interviews and Reviews
As you may hve already known, we've been featured in a few magazines and on gaming websites since the release of our beta client:
Exclusive Interview with EA.
We had a chance to have an interview with EA Apoc, the community manager for the Command & Conquer series last month, we're the first (and only) mod to ever be advertised by the official company and/or on the official Command & Conquer website. Thus strengthening our relations with Electronic Arts in a goal to provide the fans with a great product in the future that can be enjoied by everyone. To read the interview click here.
Spotlighting during C&C Battlecast Primetime Episode 3
EA Apoc gave us a shotout during his regular 'community corner' segment on the Command & Conquer Battlecast Primetime internet tv show (thats a mouthfull) we got quite a bit of exposure from that and Apoc has told us he wants to do more things with us in the future. You can see the footage here, just select episode 3 and watch it (it's around the 15 min mark)

Our leader, Chronojam was asked to be interviewd for the eGames magazine mod of the week section back in October, they though it went well so they decided to review us as well. You can check them both our here (review) and here (interview). You can read the English translations here.

One of our fans spotted a little article in Game Informers 'Modworld' which we got featured in. This was an independant review which we didn't know they'd do so lucky for us a fan spotted it and submitted a scan for us to post. Click here to see the article.
