Gang Garrison 2.1

There’s a new version of the multiplayer Team Fortress 2 demake Gang Garrison. It’s feature-packed:

We’ve added the Control Point gamemode and a bunch of new maps. We’ve given the Healer the ability to Ubercharge (although we call it a Superburst), and the Overweight now has a Manvich to munch on and gain HP. The game now has a timer, a killcam, an afk kicker, and a humiliation round. There are also new sound effects, HUDs, and all sorts of other features.

And here’s a bit more good news: the Team Fortress 2 guys have nothing but good things to say about this latest release (probably to the chagrin of many lawyers)! Faucet and its community are also hard at work other open-source projects, like Left 4 Dead, Garry’s Mod, and Portal demakes (Magenta Box?). Hit up the first link for more information on how to participate.

    It’s awesome that Valve is not only ok with GG2 but that they promote it on their blog. Has anyone tried this new version, how’s the network performance? I’ll try to hop on tonight.

    After the update it has been very laggy. I hope it improves soon.

    Love you guys for posting this! We’re all really excited about this release because it addresses some of the community’s most common feature requests.

    If you’re having trouble with lag, all I can say is try as many servers as you can until you find one good for you. Along with the flood of new users came a ton of new servers, some of which aren’t very good connections. I’d suggest to start with Bacon Town and /v/idya, which are often reliable servers.

    Please check out our forums, and come talk on the irc! We’re on irc.esper.net, server #gg2. Or you could go here:
