We’ve got our own Sourceforts server, a capture-the-flag mod for Half-Life 2: Death Match, with a twist:  the game is divided into two parts; a Build phase, and a Combat phase.  What are you waiting for?  Go capture some flags! [...]

If you were brought up on episodes of Bob the Builder and LEGO sets, you’ll relate to the Build phase, where engineer class characters spawn blocks around their flags and entrances.  This secures your flag and prevents enemies from getting hold of it.

As creation is often followed by destruction, the Build phase is followed by the Combat phase, where opposing teams attempt to capture each other’s flags.  Gamers choose from various classes such as snipers, soldiers, and engineers to bring maximum damage to their enemies.  The first team to get five captures wins the match.

You can grab the mod from the WAGE FTP site here.

If you don’t have a copy of Half-Life 2: Death Match but you’ve got an ATI graphics card in your computer don’t stress.  ATI and STEAM are offering a version that will work on certain machines with ATI graphics cards which you can get a hold of here.
