By: groovyf (spam@groovyf.co.uk) — The highly awaited modification for Half-Life 2 called Fortress Forever is finally with us. It’s based on the HL1 mod Team Fortress Classic and although not a direct port, has many of the features of TFC but with new additions for some of the classes weapons-wise and also has had some general gameplay tweaks. It’s been a long journey for the developers since the idea for this game mod was first brainstormed over back in 2003.
The Fortress Forever Developers have announced: “These next few months are going to be great for TF fans and halflife2 gamers alike. It is with great pleasure that we announce Fortress Forever will be released on September 13th, and of course it will be free to all halflife 2 owners . The game will release with 10 core maps featuring 6 different game modes centering around capture the flag, and capture and defend gameplay. Spread the word and get ready for action!”
By: b0nes (b0nes@wireplay.co.uk) — With the imminent arrival of Team Fortress 2, it seems the Fortress Forever team have stepped up to the challenge to release before the eagerly awaited valve replacement for TFC.
Beta testing of FF has been going on for some time and we have been assured that it will be out before the end of the month. Head over to the Fortress Forever Website for more info.
With sign ups now closed for Wireplay’s well received return to hosting competitive Counterstrike events, attention has turned to the round 1 draw.
Rather than quickly pulling names out of a hat, it was decided to give the honour of drawing the round 1 fixtures to an individual not associated with the competition, but who had contributed to Wireplay in the past. Enter Dave Carter, also known by many as FiRe. Dave was formerly the Community Liaison for Wireplay Counterstrike and here are the round 1 fixtures he drew:
