Keep your eyes open and grab an extra pair of clean underwear: zombies are coming back to the battlefield this Halloween! At Darklight Games we like to dabble in dark arts, and we couldn't miss out on the opportunity to sneak some spooky stuff into the game once again. This year's Halloween event includes:

• A new map: Haunted Pariserplatz Survival.
• Haunted Hattert and Haunted Fury maps making a return.
• Unique Halloween vehicle skins and zombie characters (available on Haunted maps).
• Spooky zombie voice lines.
• And more

All the unholy content is now available on our servers, and will stay on for an entire week from October 30th to November 7th.

Survive the Pariserplatz

A small groups of soldiers of various nations have found themselves surrounded by hordes of undead Nazis in the middle of Berlin. Will they survive? Who knows, but we're sure it will a hell of a fight! This is a unique rendition of the old Red Orchestra map where you'll be able to pick your side either as a brain dead zombie or a lucky survivor. Zombies can't use weapons, but they are numerous, and they won't go down from a single shot to the chest. Outnumbered and low on supplies, if survivors want to get out of this doozy alive, their only option is to work together and watch each other's back.

New features in v10.2

Along with the Halloween event, today marks a new feature release which includes a couple of fresh additions to German arsenal.

Maschinenpistole 3008

When situation was dire, Germans looked abroad for inspiration and came up with this oddly familiar firearm. Meant as a last ditch weapon, this STEN's foreign cousin can be mainly found in the hands of Volkssturmm troops.

Sd.Kfz. 251/9 Ausf. D Stummel

A new modification of the ever-present German half-track has arrived. Equipped with a short 7.5cm KwK 37 gun and a paper thin armor, Stummel might find itself outgunned against heavier armored vehicles; nevertheless, it was proven to be highly effective at blasting through fortifications and fighting lightly armored targets. The Stummel has been added to the following maps:

• Armored Arad Clash
• Armored Balaton Clash
• Armored Bautzen Clash
• Armored Cagny Clash
• Armored Celles Clash
• Armored Freyneux Advance
• Armored Fruhlingserwachen Clash
• Armored La Feuillie Clash
• Armored Preaux Clash
• Barashka Clash
• Cambes-En-Plaine Clash
• Champs Advance
• Cheneux Advance
• Fury Clash
• Hattert Clash
• Kommerscheidt Advance
• La Gleize Advance
• Nuenen Clash
• Ogledow Clash
• Putot-en-Bessin Advance
• Stavelot Push
• Stoumont Advance
• Valko Advance
• Wanne Advance

Other Changes

• Reduced players max stamina by 20%. This change drops the maximum distance a player can cross in one go to 200 meters.
• Temprorary increased shovel damage for the duration of the Halloween event.
• Fixed the bug where internal squad orders were shown on compass for everyone on the team.
• Made half-tracks to be treated as armored vehicles in the code (half-tracks now use the same damage model as armored vehicles).

See you on the battlefield, Darklight Games
