Action: Source Server Hosting, Explained

What is Action: Source?

New to Action: Source?

What is Action: Source?

Action: Source is a free multiplayer shooter on the Source engine, a remake of the Action Half-Life mod, built to feel like being in an action movie. Its Movie Realism means you can take a few hits and keep going: you bleed and break bones, then bandage yourself up. You are not invincible, though, and a headshot can be fatal or leave you an inch from death. Dive around with guns blazing to gain an edge or escape certain death, in free-for-all deathmatch or teamplay.

Movie Realism.

Take a few hits, bleed, break bones and bandage up, like an action hero.

Stunts.

Dive around while you fire to win a fight or escape one.

Why rent a server?

What is Action: Source Server Hosting?

An Action: Source dedicated server is a match that is always there for your group, with no PC left on at home. Public servers are often empty, so your own server with a password lets your friends play whenever they want. On our servers you set the server name, password, start map, max players and team play in the panel, change match rules and game modes in the config editor, run it remotely with RCON, and get full file access over SFTP and SSH.

Always Online.

Your server stays up when you log off, so your group can play any time.

Full Control.

Set your game modes, rules and passwords from one panel.
