As it turns out we are one of those teams and as a result some unfortunate changes will be coming to Warbits in the upcoming 1.1.5 patch. Leader boards for various multiplayer stats will be removed and there will no longer be support for custom Tag Matches. It pained us to gut the code for these wonderful features, but due to the Parse shutdown and a chain of incompatibilities with the technology that makes up Warbits, we are unable to migrate these features to a new backend.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>The not so awful news is that multiplayer games still work just fine and official tag match making is still functional. We sincerely apologize for this disappointing change. For all those players out there that fought the good fight we\u2019d like to <a href=\"https:\/\/riskylab.com\/leaderboards\/\">share the results of the multiplayer season<\/a> with you. We aren\u2019t done with Warbits by any means and would love to hear your feedback about its future.
