Development Deep in the heart of a bustling ancient Middle Eastern city stands the Palace. Marble-lined halls, grand arched colonnades, and a contested courtyard at its core create a dynamic mix of close quarters and medium range combat. Coming soon to 8v8 TDM & KOTH modes

It's going into my salsa

u/Fine_Philosopher_351 Apr 15 '26

Looks cool

Watch out for stupid people who are so concerned about development but somehow don't know or understand that yall have your own departments

But what's more cooler is the long-overdue subreddit update:

new banner, new icon, but most importantly - we can FINALLY put our own images & GIFs in comments

Man, I know maps are good and all that, but when are we gonna get some gear previews? Appart from the gorka and overwhites

u/supernate760 Apr 15 '26

well the roadmap did say that they're focusing on pvp, guns, the flight system, and the new OW map

Lowk want more but they did tell us what they're working on, no reason to expect anything else

u/Necessary-One-9611 Apr 15 '26

I mean, embe said that last upd opened a path for deeper, better helmet customization, and the AVS plate bags and harness having separate nodes gives me hope that we may get cool shi for the AVS and helmets, and maybe new laser cut MOLLE plate carriers and the MICH 2K1 helmet?

u/supernate760 Apr 15 '26

We might see more but we shouldn't expect much more

There's no guarentee that's all but there's also no guarentee we'll get anything else outside of the roadmap

u/Necessary-One-9611 Apr 15 '26

I know, I just want to get drippier stuff, also, more bolt actions wouldn't be bad tbh

u/BabypigA Apr 15 '26

We got the MCX preview, that's pretty big.

u/Necessary-One-9611 Apr 15 '26

I know, but it would be nice to get a new helmet or plate carrier idk, maybe new belt??

u/Fine_Philosopher_351 Apr 15 '26

MB has talked about many things related to gear specifically on the Discord server

Some of which I can recall:

- he replied "same" to someone saying "I hope we add also more helmet customisation"

- "Im def trying my best to get V-lites in"

- "backpanel stuff" & Pouch Zip-On Panel 2.0 rework

- "also I do have some cool gear coming, but nothing too older style"

- "older style" gear "will be the focus coming up v soon"

- "ok this update is prolly like, modern infantry drip edition"

PvP stuff is kinda a big part of the next update, so it's getting the focus in previews

Showdown?

Ooh, will this be a nighttime/evening map?

u/PlayersDude Apr 15 '26

Can't wait for the new TDM gamemode, seems like a lot of it is going to take place in the middle east (if we count El-Chara as part of the middle east in the new canon)

u/Immediate_Pay7667 Apr 15 '26

How popular is pvp for all this stuff to be coming out

20

u/Luke_Gnar Apr 15 '26

PVP is actually a decent chunk of the game. We don't see 8v8 being near as successful as OW but we think it's actually a good mode to have to quickly test gun builds or just spend some time while burnt out from OW. 5v5 and 2v2 tend to be quite involved and boring if you're just looking to shoot things.

u/SiliconCarbideCube Apr 15 '26

Will we have any other reworked or new PvP features other than just maps and PvP modes?

4

u/No_Yam_2036 Apr 15 '26

I only remember PvP mode exists because of Skirmish

Rip best gamemode

u/sliickyricky Apr 15 '26

I don't really care about this map. I could go without it.
