Now he and his infected patient are stranded deep within the most vicious prison sectors of a wasteland called 'Earth'. In sixteen hours an orbital platform will initiate a total biohazard containment procedure: 50-megaton yield, detonated above sea level, to cleanse the contamination.Get the Pariah v1.02 patch off WP (25mb)

+ The Lonely Isle custom base map only had spawn points for one team...spawn points for the other team were added.

+ Fixed bug where some voices weren't being controlled by the Voice Volume slider in Audio Settings.
+ Pariah's version number is now displayed in the lower left corner of the initial welcome screen.
+ Sometimes the installer failed to decompress the sound packages resulting in garbled sounds. This patch will make sure that the sound packages are decompressed.
