Well it's been a while since we've had a weekly update. Far more then a week for sure. However you have had that massive news update so I don't feel too bad for you all ;)

I'd Just like firstly to draw your attention to (I believe) the first proper modification release for Halflife 2.
Plan of Attack is an excellent game designed to bring strategy to the genre but still allow for short overall game times. I've just been playing it and went through three games (made up of several attack/defend rounds for each team) in about an hour so it's very good if you're looking for a quick burst of fun.
The player models are beautifully modelled and skinned along with everything else in the game including the maps even if there are only 2 player models for now. (This is just a beta release)
Overall a game well worth the 80mb odd download time.

And back to our own modification in case I get accused of treason. We have been tweaking many of the weapons models, including a brand new M14 thanks mainly to Waedoe who combined his model with elements of my own. With the arrival of a couple of skinners to the team we'll hopefully soon start to see skins for the currently untextured models.
Work on maps has also been proceeding well with one approaching the testing stage and others on their way.
Programming too has seen its way into our mod with the first appearance of our original code in game, including Team selection and Class selection menus! This is thanks to Olah who has proved a valuable new member to the team since he joined.

That's about all for now. Side will be away until sunday or monday so any emails or applications will be dealt with then. Remember we're still looking for talented mappers and programmers along with texture artists so apply now!

Until next time - Darg
