Anyway, mod needs a fair bit of work for full release, still enjoyable though.

Well i got a better score than all of you.

You don't count.. You had your name as the default for too long.. I swear there's something about that in the readme... Ah here it is:

If you join a server with the default name for more than 2 rounds, all bragging rights related to score are revoked

SEE!! If it's in the readme it must be true

[MrBungle]

Now how did i miss that.

[inz]

been there, downloaded that

[Q17]

might grab it, i hope its not like every other game iv done so in the last month,
once i get it theres no servers + players

[Suntzu]

I have a confession to make.

I am the Mighty: Gus McRusty

Yes, It were me blasting you devil redcoats with my trusty musket and sword. Only occassionally after being outnumbered by the dirty pomms was the Eviiil MrBungle able to sneakily backstab me when i wasnt looking. Dirty scoundrel!

Its a fun game, a bit simplistic and its HL2 S made to look like HL1 . I dont knwo how they managed that. Also, no cannons were to be found by me.

This game would be great with about 20 plrs. You need buddies to cover you while you reload/have a sandwich/beer/feed the dog etc. Otherwsie you GET STABBED TILL U DIES!

Let us know when you are having another go and well see if we can get a few more in the server.

cheers

lol team node

Oh yeah.. I beat you too

[Agent_Dark]

Hmm, the basics were pretty fun. Wasn't really much else to the gameplay to keep ya interested though...

[Suntzu]

Yeah its fun. But the basic arse graphics put me off a bit.

[Ignant]

It's an early beta, essentially a port of the original. They'll get the graphics tweaked son enough
