Among various minor fixes & enhancements (see the Change Log), it finally brings you the new Profile system and the Seasonal Challenge mode!

fixedWhat's in the Season?With every Season comes the chance to unlock new in-game rewards and to win exclusive items by being the best Commander in USC Forces! Players with a Profile can participate in the new Challenge game mode, and any Single Mission they play (provided they're logged in) earns them experience toward their next rank and a chance to be displayed on the Single Mission leaderboards. (Scroll down to find more information about creating a Profile.) Season 1 unlockables: ːrd1ː Players who helped beta-testing the profile system automatically get the 'Camigo' (camouflage indigo) armor customization. A few select players who helped a lot also get the RD-1 Shoulders. They will be notified in e-mail. There are four Challenge Missions in Season 1. These all have a fixed random seed and almost all other parameters are pre-set and locked, so all players and all attempts will face the exact same odds. ːrd1ː Completing all four--regardless of what score you get--will earn you the 'Titanium camouflage' armor customization!
changedWhat's in the Season?'Carnage in the Mines': This is a 2-squad Seek & Destroy mission that will put your assault skills to the test. The difficulty level is adjustable, but to get the highest score, you'll surely need to ramp up things!
changedWhat's in the Season?'Low-budget tactics': What can you do with 50,000 Credits? With an adjustable difficulty and a fairly uncommon map layout, your expertise of using low-end gear to the best will be tested.
changedWhat's in the Season?'A databank too far': A tough data acquisition mission in a surface base where time runs short--a true test of tactics.
removedWhat's in the Season?'Hardcore survival': Help a low-rank squad survive 20 turns of hell while struggling to secure all databanks. Saving disabled. This will hurt ;-). ːuscdogtagː
