What changed on the servers and the site, newest first.

2026-11-13

  • SiteThe front page counts the people who have played here, all time and this week.
  • SiteBoth servers' GameTracker banners sit under the server list, linking to their listings. The site fetches the images itself, so visitors' browsers never talk to GameTracker.

2026-11-11

  • SiteEach custom weapon's page plays a short clip of it in the player's hands, firing.
  • SiteThe weapon pages tag a weapon only as Ported or Inspired.
  • SiteThe weapon pages and this changelog are open to everyone, in the menu and on the Gun Game page, which lists the whole pool.
