Well after a longtime in waiting the guys over at fortress forever have given a release date of Sept for there TF MOD..
i myself have been waiting to play this for 2+ yrs since the development started and i think it will bring New life back into the Fortress style mods
if you have not checked this MOD out i suggest you head over to the fortress forever site and take a look,
If there are Any old school TFC players here then this MOD will defo be the one for you guys.

Congrats to the DEV team who made this mod at one point i thought it was never going to get finished but a lot of hard work and persistance has got them through to the end..
i dont think people really realise how much work goes into makeing a MOD and hopefully it will be a MOD people install and dont uninstall after 10mins of gameplay

Ohh.. I'd forgotten about this, remember looking at it ages ago! Its a shame they're releasing it at pretty much the same time as TF2.. I wonder whats happened to Black Mesa Source as well..

Woohoo, been waiting for this one for a while. Good job FF for getting it out before TF2.

What about us old school QWTF players? Is it more similar to TFC or QWTF?

If I had to speculate I'd say it's likely to be a lot slower than QWTF and more in line with TFC.

Nice TF movie here btw: http://gamefiles.virginmedia.com/blueyondergames/movies/quakeworld/tfde2_hq.zip

Its a shame its been so long in development, there have been a lot of TF mods started that have never seen the light of day, so at least this one is being released.
I think this could help build the hype for TF2 but i do hope it doesnt split the playerbase, for these games to really suceed they need a large playerbase.

Have they got any information on the classes yet?

I'd love to see if they've finally made the Pyro useful.

I dabbled in the beta for a short while but due to circumstances beyond my control i had to drop out.

The pyro is useful now. I want to say more but I'll just let everyone see for themselves.

I have been beta testing and the odd bit of mapping this for 6 months now and much prefer it to TFC. Its faster than Vanilla TFC and the trick jumping is more prominent but at the same time much easier to get to grips with due to more intuitive controls as well as a built in hint system.

Classes been rebalanced so the pyro is actually a very effective class now whereas classes like the heavy are more refined and require a bit more skill.

Havent been able to compare it to TF2 yet but i feel this is much closer to original TFC classic than TF2 will be.
