Beta 1.4 coming May 13, 2005 to a server near you! In the meantime, here's a small taste of what we've been working on.

A look at some map work


We've also got 4 new game modes implemented.

Stopwatch CTF
Teams take turns attacking and defending and race to capture the flag faster than the last team

One Flag CTF
Teams have to pick up the neutral flag and run it into the enemy base to score

Domination CTF
Teams battle for control over the neutral flag to try to hold it the longest amount of time

CaptureStrike CTF
Players start with almost all the weapons and once killed will stay dead until a team is eliminated or a capture occurs.

What else have you got?
We've also added a list of chat macros that you can use to give your team vital information quickly such as your health, armor, weapon, ammo, etc. We've got a slew of new cvars to help configure your server even more, including a mercy rule, optional overtime, and more! We've also got at least one other addition that we haven't mentioned yet.

Release Party
We'll be having a release party on our IRC channel (#hl2ctf on irc.gamesurge.net) at 8pm EST on May 13 to celebrate the release of Beta 1.4. Hope to see you there!
