To all of the HL2 DM players in our clan:
I invite you to play HL2CTF on the Tomb. You can download the latest public version, 1.7
here.
It still confounds me as to how it is possible for our clan to have such a large number of active players, but less than 10 percent of those play HL2CTF on a regular basis. For those of you who do not own HL2, it's a small investment, only abound $20 if you know where to look. Please, give CTF a try. How many excuses can you possibly have left?
Maps: Almost all of the maps available on the Crypt in HL2DM form have been ported or are in the process of being ported over to CTF. New weapons, playing styles and much much more are open to you if you simply decide to join us in CTF.
DM v CTF: Some of our members have complained they do not like the mod. Yes, getting used to a new mod is a challenge, but it is the willingness to try new things and the persistence through repeated deaths that furthers our clan's reputation.
In the current league season of CTF and the past ILDM HL2CTF league, we have been/are ranked among the lowest of all participating clans. Is it not demoralizing that the in the only mod in which our clan currently competes has the support of less than 10 of its members, 5 on a regular basis?
I know that moving to CTF may be difficult for old-school DM players. When CTF first became a relatively larger mod with the 1.7 release, I too was not overjoyed about the Tomb migrating to CTF. But with regular practice and eventually an invitation into this clan, I know I have improved greatly. A trade off is in order: Players who play on the Crypt regularly should join us in CTF. Most of us CTF players on the Tomb do occasionally journey into the Crypt as well, so please return our favor.
