Apologies for the delay in releasing the results, I was off travelling to Pinewood Studios to be in the VIP audience seats for Lee Mack's All Star Cast! For those in the UK who watch it, tune into it this Saturday night on BBC One and look at the front row by the sofa .

Time flies quickly it seems, next warfare map will be released tomorrow. We'll be going to the symmetrical desert map as we go back in to the normal rotation. Starting positions will not be released ahead of time and the middle objective will be the hospital.

New abilities are being created on Dev as we speak, a few of them are quite complicated so may take a while but they should be up pretty soon.

Another security announcement, if you have or had an account in the Battlefield Heroes Beta and used a password you used elsewhere you need to change that password now. All 550k accounts were just leaked, various sites I help moderate have already lost quite a few accounts to this leak. You have been warned.

Over the next few days we're migrating our service to Cloudflare. This involves updating our DNS records which take time to propagate around the Internet, so may leave you unable to connect for a while. We would advise everyone use either Google's DNS servers or OpenDNS instead of the ones provided by your ISP as these are normally quick to update and reliable. Instructions for switching to either can be found on their respective websites.

We would also like to remind all players that if you go to command prompt and type "ipconfig /flushdns" this will wipe your locally cached DNS records and is a good way to fix problems connecting to our site. Some browsers like Firefox like to keep their own caches and will require a restart if you start having problems.

We are still hosting our site through Fasthosts but all connections will be routed through Cloudflares' reverse proxy. This will result in much faster loading times for players around the world as you will always be pulling images and other static content from local nearby servers. It will also be increasing the sites security and give us some level of protection from DDOS attacks.
