HL2 CTF (the good ole' days are back!)

So I have been playing some Half-Life 2: Capture the Flag lately. Not really any other reason then because my friends can tolerate me kicking their asses constantly ; ) , but it reminded me of the old CTF days. We started up a dedicated server running on my computer. More and more people joined and eventually we had a real game going. This is quite a big deal because, recently, there has not been one server with people. Of course, my DSL couldn't handle it after a while, but then we moved to other server and all was good. I talked to one of the people behind the mod, and he said that the new version (1.75) should be due out soon. In the new release, you see yourself holding the flag and corpses gib (think Team Fortress 2\ Unreal Torneyment).

If you haven't played the mod, and have HL2\DM, its definitely a must. Even if you don't have HL2\DM, I would just buy it for this mod. The addicting gameplay is similar to the style of an Unreal Tournament CTF but uses unique tactics with the gravity gun. CTF has a small community. So, chances are, you'll be playing with the same people quite a bit. If you join a server, chances are, you'll see me. My name will be S.Alive 7sunami.
