A fresh look
Our three new crew members are really adding to the team. H2 is pumping out new fresh textures at a steady rate which will give the maps a new look. You will get to see these when we release screenshots from the updated maps.
Hunted and Vcc2cc are working together on a new map called Nightville which will feature the good old SoW classic gameplay. Their developer journal along with screenshots can be found here:

Return to Basrah
One our old great SoW1 mappers called Awesomepossum has returned to the team and begun working on a SoW2 map. The working title is "Return to Basrah" and will be utilizing the rally gameplay introduced in beta 1. You can follow his progress and see the first early screenshots here:

SoW2 Beta 2
Along with the new maps presented above we also have SoW2_Abandoned which is a new map by Bluestrike which will arrive in beta2. All maps from beta 1 will be receiving updates regarding everything from bug fixes to gameplay adjustment.
We are going to continue our strategy with fast and iterative releases which means that we are passionate about getting beta 2 ready fast. We would also like to let it be more mature than beta 1, so it might take some time.
