The official Intel Extreme Edition Challenge III movie is finally done. The movie, which was made by 4kings Simon Bysshe shows footage from the bloodline event which was a tournament to find 2 new players to join the ranks of the 4kings clan, one of the best clans in the world.

In this movie you will see such things as:

– Profiles of the 8 bloodline competitors
– Map reviews by TsN
– In-game footage of the Grand Final
– Words from clan fnatics zr0 and Vo0
– The 4kings CS clan
– much much more

The movie weighs in at around 160 meg for the DivX version and 130 meg for the WMV version.

If you enjoyed EEC2 you will absolutely love EEC3, its bigger and badder than ever before. Make sure you download it NOW!

DC have sent us the installer for the Timer bug fix for PK 1.35 that was discussed previously. This installer removes the pain of faffing around with unzipping the file to the correct directory. You can find the fix installer HERE.

The fix seems to work perfectly when applied to servers. We are unsure whether the fix works for clients but we believe it does. This change was also baked into the 1.5 BooH release so those with the expansion should not fret.

Bluesnews comes through yet again with linkage to 2 more BooH reviews. The first is from 1UP.com, and the second is from 2404.org. The first review unfortunately does not rate the game, but 2404.org give it a solid 9/10. Go check them out by clicking these links: 1UP 2404

It must be mappers day today :). [M]aniek has posted on our forums with 2 new beta maps for you to look over. DM_Maniek1a is the larger of the two maps and is remarkably like Q3DM6 😉 The map has no item placement as yet and I guess Maniek is still tuning the geometry.

DM_Maniek2 is the second of the 2 maps and is smaller with items placed around the map as a starting point. You can find both maps linked in his forum post HERE. Please check them out and give constructive feedback. Good luck to [M]aniek!

Pha3z and Tectonic have released a new DM Map for beta testing. The map is intended for duels but looks like it might squeeze a nice 2v2 in at the same time. Ive had a small run round and the map looks like it flows well. Fire it up and see what you think. You can download it HERE or from our FTP HERE.

The authors are looking for constructive feedback on the CPL forums HERE or if you prefer HERE on our forums. Please support them and give it a whirl. The more good maps we have to choose from, the better 🙂

**update** a new version of the map for 1v1 play specifically has been created. You can find it on our FTP HERE. Please provide feedback in the same places as before 🙂
