Build Team Applications
Now, you can apply to join the official Brawl Build Team! Due to many things needing to be built, we have decided to open up applications for the Build Team. The team will consist of talented and experienced builders dedicated to improving Brawl. If your application is accepted, you will receive a message on the forums from our Build Team leader, Birdgirl, and will be put into trial stage. If your application is denied, then you will also receive a message on the forums explaining what you can improve on. You may re-apply after one month if you aren’t accepted. You can apply for the Brawl Build Team here. We look forward to reading your applications! Read more...

CTF: Wave X Released
For those unfamiliar with how CTF map rotations work, similar to MCPVP we use waves to add new CTF maps built by our very own community members. Waves are also used to remove maps that people don’t enjoy playing anymore. Maps that are added can consist of remakes of original CTF maps, and also completely new maps. For a chance for your map to be added into the next wave, XI, submit your map on the submission form here. The incredible trailer for Wave X by @Quarrelt can be viewed below. Read more...

CTF: Out of Beta
After finishing CTF statistic recording, we are pleased to now announce that we are officially leaving the beta stage of Capture the Flag! A few changes came with this transition, starting with multitude of minor fixes taking place, and as well as this, the main reason why CTF came out of beta was the tracking of stats. You can now view your statistics here, and in the future we will be importing McPVP stats and they will be displayed in what is called the “Hall of Fame”, but they will not be counted toward overall stats. Flags as well have once again been changed, home flags are now entities as well, meaning they have no hitbox. Hopefully, this is a good compromise between the old wool mechanics and banners.

MC-WarZ Practice Server
With popular demand, we have introduced a fun alternative to WarZ, a practice server coded by @Mario. The server uses similar gamemodes to MC-War, however requires the same combat skills used in WarZ. In the future we plan to add a WarZ mode to KitBrawl rather than having it’s own server. You can join this practice server by connecting with the IP: 20.mc-warz.com. We hope you enjoy playing on this server. Read more...

Minor MC-WarZ Changes
This month, many things were fixed and added into WarZ! This includes quite a few cosmetic changes as well as bug fixes that were requested by the community, such as guns opening chests when shooting. As well as these changes there are now sounds such as reloading that can be heard by others, so be careful, this can give out your position! Read more...

Wild West Progress
Wild West, coded by @Signatured and @Mario has now been announced! Wild West is a western themed version the popular game Arma 3. As a player, you can have two possible roles, either a bandit or a sheriff. Due to needing sheriffs that have to be trusted, there will be an application process to obtain it. A bandit’s goal is to make money through either illegal or legal means, buy better equipment and survive in a world where anyone could be a threat. Sheriffs are there to protect innocent people, bust criminals and send them to prison to pay off their bounty. There are many ways to make money in the Wild West, including raiding indian camps, robbing a bank, going on drug runs, and even run a cartel! Doing illegal activity however raises your bounty, which makes it longer to pay off your bounty while in prison. Houses are also available in all towns, and this can include even having your very own base HQ for your gang. All houses come with a limited amount of chests to store your loot in. These things are just skimming the surface of Wild West, and more details for the server will be available once the server is released. The only few things left to do is a minor fixes and additions. We very much look forward to the release of this server, and we hope you are too! Read more...

Video of the Week/Month Changes
Video of the Week will be discontinued since recently it has been very hard for us to find videos that meet the requirements. We hardly ever had a choice and it was always a struggle to select a new one every week. If we see a really good and unique video, it might still be featured in the monthly Brawl News.
