Bard's TF Hanbook is a new guide for quake TF. Have a look if you are interested in gaining more knowledge in everything from demo to spy, tactics to clan activity. Even if you are a TFC player, many of the class and general tactics still apply. Check it out. Interested... then tryout... Quake TF Handbook. It is a must for a good read.

A new site has landed at PlanetFortress called TFC Encyclopedia. It is the place to go if you need to know anything about the basic functions of TFC. Its a site! So you want to know more about the basic functions of TFC... then tryout... TFC Encyclopedia

At the moment I am investigating a new mod for Quake, its similar to TF but... Its called "Nuke Match"

"Nuke Match is a Team Fortress style multiplayer Quake mod with multiple player classes. There are two teams (blue and red) and each team has a base, one on either end of the map. When the game starts, players must pick their team and their class. Both teams start in their base and the object of the game for each team is to get the greatest number of frags. Unlike in Team Fortress, in Nuke Match each team has a nuclear missile silo in their base, and they must collect all the components of the missile from the storage bunker which is in the centre of the map, along with the nuclear warhead which is stored in the enemy base. Each team must carefully guard the other team's warhead, because if any team succeeds in launching the nuke, everyone on the opposing team will die, and everyone on the team which launched the nuke will get one frag for everyone on the other team who died. As a result, huge numbers of frags can mount up, and teamwork is essential to prevent the other team from successfully launching the nuke. "

I will let you know more when I have finished looking into it myself! cya all l8r.

I would like to say welcome to another two new members they are... DeathWind - as some of you will know he is the Leader of the Soldier Guild, and also Predator.

Also have been playing TFC alot recently and testing it out, I hate to tell you all but, do you know all those nice dark places on TF you could place your SG, Well on TFC try and find a dark spot now! There isnt one Every part of the maps I have seen so far, are all well lighted up by lights above you! like in Half-Life.

Any way, some of you have prob played TFC already as TFC for the LAN (only) has already been released note as I say only you can download it if you wish but it will not work accross the Net! You can download the LanParty version of TFC by clicking here or you can goto PlanetFortress.

Its a whopping 18Mb though! - Well if you do have fun.

I am still waiting to here about the realease of the NET version of TFC, they are still "Beta Testing", but the 24 hour clock should start soon for its release! When it does, i'll let you know!

I am now getting questions about the -=GC.ENG=- tag, and what is it, well sorry I havn't replied to your e-mail's as I have had a back log of e-mail's to go through, but the tag is to be placed in front of your TF name or behind, it doesnt matter what way round. I will even make you an offer to do it for you using a name maker if you wish, just contact me. Ok I think thats it for the moment, cya l8r!

The -=BeAsT=--=GC.ENG=- Engineer Guild Leader

Well, some of you are now asking about "TAGS" and does the Engineering Guild have one? Me and Jug discussed this a while ago and really havn't thought any more about it. But now I have noticed that dear old [TF] Ringo at The Scout Guild has now gone ahead with the TAG! So what the hell you have to go witht the flow eh? So I now announce the Engineer Guild Tag!!!

-=GC.ENG=-

The tag may only be worn by fully fledged members, listed on the members page, and may not be altered in any way. However it is not a requirement of being a member, and hence optional.
