I personally would play this mod alot more if there was more player awareness.

The only CTF gameplay I like is Unreal Tournament style. It would be a waste of a download for me.

I've played it a bit, it's really not all that great, it's incredibly generic... fun for a little while but not much after.

As it stands, its pretty much the most polished piece of hl2 multiplayer mod work as of yet (that is playable).

Wiggles knows me as a ctf fan, and this mod has some great thing going about it. Yes it is still in the beta mode and that will change.

As it stands now this game mode should of shipped with hl2 when it was first released, as it stands Valve doesnt like to create its own online stuff, it would rather pinch other peoples success and pimp it for their own ends.

So give Val and the guys some credit and support them by giving it a go. Its not like hl2 dm in its movement or weapon behaviour anymore. The teamplay support is of the threewave and cs standard. In addition some game modes exist within the mod that are not your classic two bases two teams two flags setup.

For those that like to fling the flag around with the grav gun like the dm ball based ctf, this has been enabled, along with alot of cvar support for a great variety of different takes on the classic ctf stance.

I agree. I think this is a great mod and it keeps getting better with each release and honestly I play it more than I play CS. The only things I would like to see is the addition of bots and maybe one new weapon. Preferbaly, one that fits the HL universe.

The thing is, their maps look brilliant, but they are so horribly unoptimised it hurts to play them.

This is the last beta - the next issue is gona be 2.0!

The game has changed alot, its almost a completly new mod, even though its start was a ruble in the dm with flags - its now a roar in the tc line

No kidding, I can't play ctf_prisonriot because it displays 1 frame, 10 secs later at displays the 2nd if I don't get auto-kicked for ping before that happens .

I hope Beta 2 will be more original though. New weapons wouldn't hurt.

I would actualy take the time to dl if they added new weapons.
