Fortress Forever is now available

Fortress Forever is a Half Life 2 Mod, for Team Fortress Play. Now, if you are pretty new to first person shooters, Team Fortress is, in my opinion, the best game modification in the history of time.

Players choose a “class” of player, such as sniper, medic, etc. Each class has strengths and weaknesses, and every player usually has their own preference.

The game play is usually a capture the flag scenario, with some players defending their base, while others attack the enemy’s base.

The team with the highest score wins. If there is no score, or a tie, usually the team with the highest number of kills wins.

Half Life 2, Episode 2 is supposed to include the much waited for Team Fortress 2, which will look more like a cartoon than the original’s dark and gritty feel. Personally I think I’ll like Fortress Forever better, since I am such a big fan of the original.

Right now I am waiting on File Planet’s FTP servers, and I think I am going to be waiting for awhile.

If I am ever able to download it, I would love to play it tonight. I would be willing to bet that the servers will be just crammed for at least a few days.

Update: The wait wasn’t too bad. But don’t try to refresh that window, or you’ll end up starting over.
