That’s it haha. I’ve been working on art, but I’m not going to include art in a public release until the map is done. So for now, you get the ugly version . I have no plans to change any gameplay elements on the map at this point. This is finalized gameplay unless something huge comes up, which I do not forsee. Hope you like it!

If anyone wants to post in support of the map being used on the World Tour, please email CPL|Justin at justin.blanchard@thecpl.com

Feel free to post your thoughts about the map here or on Vicious’ thread at: http://forums.thecpl.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=30;t=000290

Over on the CPLs website ( www.thecpl.com ), it has been announced that CPL Germany has been cancelled.

The Cyberathlete Professional League (CPL) announced today that after careful consideration and extended discussions with its strategic partners and sponsors it has canceled the German World Tour stop.
The CPL partners encountered critical logistical challenges with the proposed venue, and with the use of Painkiller (a Mature-rated game) in Germany.

The CPL is in negotiations for a new stop in Europe that would take place after the United Kingdom stop, and before the end of the year.

Competitors that had confirmed air travel for Germany and need special assistance should contact Scott Valencia immediately via email. More information about the new World Tour stop will be available at a later date.

The CPL World Tour, the largest, first-ever, year-long competitive tour spotlighting the growing new sport of video game competitions, is primarily sponsored by Intel. Another leading sponsor of the World Tour is NVIDIA.

Team Dignitas has once again put some effort in doing a nice interview for the Painkiller audience. This is the first time there is a non-gamer being interviewed for the famous Painkiller Spotlight. The honourable person being chosen for this is no other than Liuokin from TsN – Team Sportcast Network. He is one of the World Tour 2005 shoutcasters and have done an amazing job during all the stops he attended. If you would like to know more about him, painkiller, the world tour and his thoughts regarding the job as a shoutcaster you should definitely read this interview.

Here is a snippet of the interview:
Team Dignitas:
What is the best thing about being a shoutcaster?

TsN|Liuokin:
We always strive to be professional, in both our video product and our audio. Its not easy going from a radio station to a media station like we have so there is bound to be problems along the way, but we always strive for improvement as you can see throughout the past few tour stops. As far as what we will improve on you will just have to tune in to the next tour stop! =)

The whole Dignitas PK Spotlight interview could be found here.

If you have not read the other great painkiller spotlights go to www.team-dignitas.com and go to news archive and select Painkiller Spotlights and you will get all of them.

Enjoy!
