The Brawl News - January 2019

Raid Map 5
Map 4 is coming to a close, and we have a new update and a new map ready for you. This update brings back a lot of old features and some new ones, as the community has requested. Map 5 will start on 7PM UTC. Read more here: https://www.brawl.com/threads/74226/

As always, we also have an EOTM event - an event we host at the end of the map just before Raid is reset for the new one. We're trying something a lot different this time, so hopefully this will get your attention. Read more here: https://www.brawl.com/threads/74252/

Capture the Flag Feedback and Testing
The CTF staff team is looking for some feedback on some upcoming changes to the game, including plans for necro and the ongoing chemist and flag poisoning testing. If you have anything you want to say, or want to see what we're currently working on, see here for more information: https://www.brawl.com/threads/74199/

War Gun Re-Balancing
We've released a new update to War with a load of new buffs and nerfs. In total, 10 guns and 1 piece of equipment have been re-balanced, including the MG4. Read more here: https://www.brawl.com/threads/74189/




Featured Brawler
This month's Featured Brawler is an ex-SMod who has resigned very recently. He has been a member of the staff team for 4 and a half years, and has served as the Creative Manager, Build Manager, Social Media Manager, Event Manager and Media Manager. He has contributed to Brawl immensely, being responsible for the success of Creative all those years ago, and the launch of War Fun Sundays. This month's Featured Brawler is @MrDasky.

Trivia Question
Last month's question was: how many people have completed both lobby parkour in total?
The answer is 1509. @DarkTitan_ was the closest with 156, and earned a forums trophy!

This month's question is: excluding owners, admins and devs, which staff member currently staff has been on the team for longest?
The answer will be revealed along with the winner in the next edition of The Brawl News.

I had a HG meme but it was way too inappropriate to put in the news
