The Brawl News - May 2019

War - Huge Gun and Map Update
The War staff team have been spending the last couple of months rebalancing all the guns for you. The update is now ready and released - almost every gun has been changed to improve balance. As well as gun changes, we've also added 3 new maps!

CTF - Wave XV Testing
Wave XV has finally reached the public testing stage, where almost 50 community-made maps replaced the rotation for a week. Testing is over, and we're looking for your feedback on the maps. Testing and voting has now been completed. Head over to this thread for more information.

CTF - Staff Team Q&A
Ever wanted to hear the CTF staff team have a heated debate about pineapple on pizza? Me neither! But, you can also hear their responses to more important questions about the state of CTF, it's management, and more. We've also asked you some general questions about CTF. For a link to the video, or to leave your answers to our questions, check here: https://www.brawl.com/threads/74661/

CTF - Redstone Map Event
We've recently hosted an event on a special community-made map. Due to an abundance of redstone contraptions scattered all over the map, this provided some very unique gameplay that you won't find in regular CTF servers. Interested? We may host another in the future if it is popular enough!

Featured Brawler
This month's Featured Brawler is going to a staff member who has only been with us for a short while, but has shown a lot of potential ever since joining the team. They were relatively unknown when they first showed interest in applying but since then have improved drastically. They recently passed trial JMod after just 2 weeks, and has already contributed tons to the staff team, and I'm sure they'll have a huge positive impact on Brawl. This month's Featured Brawler is @yairster, congratulations!

Trivia Question
Last month's question was: how many reports were submitted in April? (Only /chatreports and reports on the website are counted!)
The answer is 561. @yairster got the closest answer and earned a forums trophy! (His guess was posted before he joined the staff team).

This month's question is: which CTF map is themed around a cave in New Zealand?
The answer will be revealed along with the winner in the next edition of The Brawl News.
