It took us much longer than we'd hoped, as usual, but it's finally time to get this release out the door. We've got the usual bug fixes, all sorts of updated content, effects, and optimisations, as well as three new maps and two new weapons. Hopefully you'll enjoy playing this release as much as we've enjoyed working on it. This version should run on both Steam and non-Steam versions of Half-Life with no additional files, but since it has only been extensively tested on Steam we will not be offering support for people running it with the old versions of Half-life.

If any of you Linux server administrators were having trouble running yesterdays release due to missing libraries, try replacing the fa_i386.so in your \\firearms\\dlls\\ folder with the one from this archive.

If you run metamod on your Windows server, you'll want to grab this updated .dll that incorporates the new entities added to Firearms 2.9. We don't have a Linux version ready yet, but as soon as we do I'll post it here.

Trystan has been kind enough to set up a couple of torrents to help ease the load on the mirrors. For those of you who don't know, BitTorrent is a great little peer to peer application. The more people who download via the torrents, the faster the downloads will become.
