August 13th, 201820th Anniversary Mapping Competition ExtendedA number of players who wanted to participate had too many other things going on in July, so we've extended the competition deadline to the end of August. Grab that new version of BSP and get mapping! Full details in this forum thread. New Version of BSP + Video Tutorial!Want to make a Paintball 2 map? Believe it or not BSP, the map editor, has been updated! Along with improvements and bug fixes in the editor itself, we've put together a new package that makes it easier to install and has better entity documentation and improved compiling tools. You can grab it on the downloads page. Follow this video tutorial to get started! July 8th, 201820 Year Anniversary Approaching!The first publicly playable version of Paintball 2 was released on July 31 1998. The 20-year anniversary is just around the corner! Since July 31 2018 is not on the weekend, feel free to jump on the servers at any time for some casual pub play. On the next Saturday, August 4th, we'll try to do some more organized events. If there's anything you'd like to see happen on that date, let us know on the forums!
For any mappers out there, we're also holding a mapping competition, so dust off those old Quake2 level editors and make something cool! January 24th, 2018Old School Player ReunionIt's been a while since we've gathered all the players from the early days together to catch up and play some games. Did you play this game several years ago? Come join us on Saturday, February 3rd, as we scrape off the rust and try to play again, or just hang out and chat!
Get on Discord and/or IRC around 3:00PM Eastern until whenever and have some fun!

Discord allows for both text and voice chatting. Servers Back Up (Obviously)Forgot to make a post indicating that the server was fixed. That happened shortly after it went down. Fortunately, the hard drive was fine, so no data was lost! June 13th, 2016DPLogin Server & Forums DownThe machine running the servers for the login service, server list, and forums appears to have had some sort of hardware failure or some other technical issue and is not responding. I've contacted the hosting service and they're trying to diagnose the problem. I'm not sure when it will be back up. Worst case, we may need to set up a new server and some data will be lost.
