So I digged up Plan of Attack, an old source mod which I have fond memories of playing. Unfortunately no one plays it any more. I want to round up some people to play with. We're trying to round up some people now, but unless this succeeds then we will play tomorrow on the 7th October at 21:00 gmt

Information

Plan of Attack is all about gameplay. Strategic gameplay. Players are faced with important decisions each round that affect themselves and their team. What objective to attack, planning your defense, acquiring money or experience, bankrupting the enemy team, choosing your skill class, and planning your path to victory.
Key Features

* Strategy - you choose what to attack, what to defend, and how to fool the enemy team
* Multiple objectives - each map has multiple paths to victory, with games always playing out differently
* Attack and defend - alternating attack and defend rounds means you need to be good at both to capture and hold all of the objectives
* Experience levels - doing well increases your skill level, which leads to class-specific bonuses
* Stats package - a robust, web-based statistics package to track everything from kills and time played to assists and accuracy, across all Plan of Attack servers

Gameplay

* Fast paced - rounds are quick, keeping you in the action
* Multiple classes - encourages different styles of play; sneak up behind the enemy, kill them from a distance, or take them on full-force
* User friendly - designed for new players and experienced players alike: a map, radar, and other UI cues help new players know where to go and what's going on, but don't get in the way for experienced players
* New weapons - 15 new weapons, with 5 unique weapons per team
* Rocket launchers - one-shot RPGs can turn the tide of a battle
* In-game radar - shows the current map and your teammates' locations
* Coin toss round - the first round of every game is pistols-only, with all players visible on the map
* Persistent - each round builds upon the last, leading to an overall victory or loss for the team. No more doing the same thing over-and-over again
* Dynamic maps - the maps are non-linear and multi-dimensional, leading to more varied gameplay
* Money system - a buy system to purchase weapons


Small side note: We're playing over Skivs hamachi server

IMPORTANT: USE THIS DOWNLOAD AS THE ONE ON THEIR WEBSITE IS OUTDATED

Downloading now.

Downloading now I suppose, sounds interesting.

I'd be interested in playing, but what is it?
Can I have a genre?
RTS?
FPS?

Is it like Rakion?
Is it like Gunz?

I'm gonna guess I need at least 1 source engine game installed on my computer? This sounds sexalicious, but my steam account just...doesn't exist anymore, for some reason, so I don't have hl2 or anything.

edit: Facepalm'd. Just went to the forums, and I DO need HL2, which sucks much walrus. I still have o idea why my steam account just stopped existing.

(plus, check out mah new avatar, leviathan!)

downloading this, ill play.. looks fun

OT:the yellow thing looks like a banana on crack...

We will be meeting in the datarealms steam chat. Looking forward to seeing you guys at 21 gmt

edit: We'll be starting out and hour earlier as one of the people whom I thought could at 21 gmt only can at 20 gmt. This doesn't mean that we won't play at 21 gmt however. But, try to join as early as possible

I can't be in earlier than 21:00 GMT and may be around half an hour later. Eating out tonight.

EDIT: Disregard that, wrong day.

Just downloaded, copied to my steamapp/sourcemods folder, and restarted steam. I have NO installed source games/HL2/etc.

And it worked!

It automatically started downloading the source SDK to get whatever files it needs to run and installed them automatically. I do have HL2 *purchased*, but it's not installed, so YMMV.

Blast! I don't have steam.
Guess I can't play then.

Two short matches today, has great tactics possibilities with more people. Everyone just needs a mic.

Another heads up, we're migrating to DRLFF - DRLFF hamachi server since SkivPL was full

What are the details for that? And why is noone in IRC?

EDIT: Am in the hamachi server.
