What is Fortress Forever?

Fortress Forever is a FREE online, multiplayer, class-based mod for the Half-Life 2 PC computer game.

Gameplay

Classes

Wanna play as a medic, healing your teammates and infecting your enemies with a virus while you run out of the enemy's base with their flag? Do you feel that nesting in a corner and killing enemies from afar is a great strategy? Or are you the type that likes to infiltrate the enemy's base, completely undetected, and ruin their defenses without them noticing? Fortress Forever supports many types of gameplay thanks to it's class system!

Weapons

You have a deadly arsenal at your disposal. From a standard shotgun, a flamethrower, a rocket launcher to an enormous minigun that demolishes anything in it's path, Fortress Forever has a ton of kick-ass weapons that'd shred any elite military unit in a matter of seconds.

Game Types

Fortress Forever has a wide variety of gametypes. You can start off with Capture the Flag, where you must grab the flag in the enemy's base and bring it back to yours. If you feel that's too cliche, then try out Attack and Defend, where one team tries to take control of points while the defenders try to stop them. Or are you the type that wants to defend and control something? Give Territory Control a test drive, where players must successfully capture and defend points on a map. If you want something completely different, try out Hunted, where a weak civilian must be escorted to a point by bodyguards while assassins try to kill him. Wanna show off your skills? Try out a conc map, where players must strategically use grenades and jumping to overcome obstacles. Don't care about any of that crap? Chill out in deathmatch mode, where the only thing you have to worry about is killing enemies.

Maps

Fortress Forever has a large variety of maps. Wanna play CTF in monkey-themed ancient temples? Go to ff_monkey. Feel the need to capture control points in a futuristic arena? ff_cz2 is waiting. In the mood to take control of a ghost town in the desert? ff_dustbowl is for you. Ever has the urge to spill some blood at a soccer arena? ff_dm wants you!

Modability

Fortress Forever is extremely easy to mod, thanks to the LUA scripting language. With it, you can edit nearly everything, from how much ammo is in a backpack to floors that fling the player across the map. With some time, you can make new gamemodes, such as a race between two players, co-op maps that force players to work together to survive hazards and pass obstacles and even golf.

IN addition, you can make maps for Fortress Forever as soon as you install it. Fortress Forever uses Half-Life 2's resources in addition to custom-made ones, so there are plenty of themes for you to utilize in your maps, such as Combine, City 17, Wild West, urban and even classic Half-Life 1.
