Just finished a four hour session of beta-testing on our Linux server, playing sf_skywalk and sf_reservoir, a new map by H.A.S.E.. We're very satisfied with how things are progressing, and so we've lifted the NDA on the beta-testers - you can now go and bother them about what is and isn't in the game . We've now been running games on both Linux and Windows with 12-13 players and over a hundred blocks, and it's been running fast and consistently.

I've uploaded a whole load (100+) of screenshots that I took during the tests. Some are in-game, some I noclipped to get a better view, but you can have a look at them here: http://www.sourcefortsmod.com/screenshots/beta .

So, anyway, there are a couple more bugs to iron out, and we're still tweaking weapons, health etc., but as I said yesterday, it's genuinely getting closer.

Good game guys... I guess when we release, I'll be able to find some players that offer more competition.

I really wish I had recorded my 30 second flag cap right as the fight round started. I literally bumped into two guys from the blue team from behind, and just let them pass as I didn't want to get slaughtered by their rockets.

After jumping into their flag (which later became a ridiculous nade box of horrible, and inescapable death) I trickjumped my way back to our flag and put one in for the home team. All without firing a shot.

"Kylegar: that was fast"

But yeah, definitely a fun session.

*Must restsist urge to want to be to beta test.* (Oh comon, cant blame me. I'm the only forumite that doesnt get to. :P)
