I've been working lately on improving the Soldat Dedicated server. There is a new version available for download. It detects some new cheats and improves the voting system (sends info about who casted the vote).
Important note: If you're using the in-game server please disable file downloading (open soldat.ini and change Allow_Download=0).

Another thing - I don't have much personal news to add here. If you want to announce something (a new Soldat page, league, movie, program, joke) please e-mail me the news text and I'll post it here.

The Soldat Electronic Sports League 3-3 ladder has been restarted to adapt for the new verion. All old matches have been deleted, so everyone starts up from 1000 ELO pts again. Take your chance and sign up to the ESL CTF Ladders now, to be among the first to compete for the first rank!
For more info head on to the ESL page:

Some of the changes need a few comments:

Server makes an automatic kick vote if cheating is detected to prevent unfortunate bans -
The best anti-cheat protection will be when people decide to kick the cheater. Please vote for kick when there appears a cheater on the server.
If the game detects cheating it will not kick the player but make an automatic vote kick so people can decide if he is guilty or not.

New Advance Mode - Players are limited to secondary weapons on game start. A new weapon can be selected every couple of kills
(every 10% of the Kill Limit or 10% 5 x Capture). So for example if the limit is 30, you get a new random weapon every 3 kills,
and lose a weapon every 3 deaths.

Weapons aim is affected by bullet hits - Named by one of the beta testers the bink effect. this option has the biggest impact on the Barret.
The rest of the weapons are slightly or not at all affected by this. If somebody shoots you, your aim gets worse (you can see it
when your cursor gets bigger). It has been implemented so that other weapons have greater chance against the Barret.

Bullet time effect - It appears when all players are on the same screen (they are close and see each other) and one of them dies.

So have fun.

The Project X movie is available again for download from selfkill.com (57MB). So check it out if you haven't yet.

The new version has been tested for some time now and it is expected to come out shortly. There is no release date of course.
