Some new maps...and many fixes.
New maps:
attrition
bases
epicenter
fatties
palermo
waterpolo
well
Many original maps seem to have different file sizes...suggesting fixes/improvments. References to hunted in some of the files...(lua, materials and sounds)...but, no actual, official release. I've seen a version of hunted on some servers...but again, apparently nothing official. Also, no official 2fort as of yet. |

Do I sense some sarcasm there tigger.
I was quite surprised to find I was only the 21st download on fortresspimp.
I've been tweaking my home server late this evening...I believe I'll run this tomorrow evening after a few more tweaks. I hope some others will join me. |

real men use torrent
on the torrent(as of typing this at 3:30am!) 20 seeds, 1 peer, download speed was about 300 kb/s at highest(re-downloaded to check). |

It must be really frustrating to have made FF only to have TF2 be so awesome. |

They're both awsome for many reasons, appealing to different people for those same different reasons. Pub play is one thing. Structured league play is going to be very interesting with these mods. FF was made by the TFC community, for the TFC community...it wasn't meant to compete with TF2 or any other mod. It's essentially TFC:Source with some modifications.
Many new and young players are playing TF2...as well as former TFC players looking for a "complete" change. What I've been reading is that many, many CS teams are joining the TF2 fray. They will bring their team organization and competition skills to this mod...and completely own it in the growing leagues.
FF on the other hand, will see a "much" smaller influx of new players and bring back from the dead many of the old TFC clans...who typically had disruptive, idiots and hackers playing for them. I have no desire to play FF competitively. But, it IS what I expected it to be and I'm pleased with the changes. It's the mod that I (obviously) prefer, the one I'll do my best to promote and hopefully, the one I'd like to one day run a server for.
That server, if it ever happens, will be run in the same way our current TFC server is run...attracting fun, fairly well mannered people who get together to have some fun. That's my hope. |

Chips, hunted is in the mod...and it's official. At least, last time I checked.
I played it yesterday >.>
Anyways, I'll join you if you make a CfH FF server, and I'll be around as "The Spanish Inquisition"
Also, Well is simply a new lighting of the map released originally, I haven't played any others besides Fatties, which is missing textures, bases, which is only one base/no class choice (can only spec it), Palermo, which is awesome, and Epicenter, which is equally awesome. |

Hunted is in there...don't know how I missed that one.
I've been spending some time testing this weekend to get a reliable, well set up server going. I'm happy with what I have.
33 maps, including several conc maps, reasonable class limitations and a few fun sounds.
Gonna talk to our current host and see if he'll let me put something up for a week or two to see how the load is handled. I'll let ya know. |
