Thank You Custom Stats Custom Stats has decided to resign from his position as Community Manager overseeing Counter-Strike. His departure leaves a big gap within the Community Management team due to the amount of work Custom took on to propel the success of CS upward. Serving as Community Manager since February of this year, Custom not only led the operational charge in CS but also spent countless hours, days, weeks and months working on behind the scenes projects as a tech contributor. Custom in nearly four years spent as a Leader within Counter-Strike, certainly left his mark building successful servers and happy players. While we will still see him around the community as an eGO admin, we're extremely thankful for his dedication to...

Game Overview: Back 4 Blood Back 4 Blood is a 4 player co-op game developed by Turtle Rock Studios. The game costs $59.99 on all available platforms (PC, Xbox, Playstation). The game features a card system that makes each run different from various enemy and level modifiers to perks and bonuses for your own character.

STORY The story is an interesting take on the genre. The world is completely overrun by infected and mutated humans that are hosts to "The Devil Worm" parasite. Instead of having a group of rag-tag survivors just trying to...

Tech November Newsletter Poll for Possible DevBlogs Please head over to this thread to read and vote about the possibility of DevBlogs that focus on specifics aspects of our infrastructure. Tech Team CM+ Structure The structure of the tech team has always been a little awkward. The amount of work and access required for people to successfully complete their projects does not really follow the standard eGO progression. To help with this, we are making tech more of an “engineering department” that has multiple Community Managers, each focusing on a different aspect within tech. That way each person has access to the tools and information they need to get their projects complete. The current structure is shown in the diagram to the...
