Earth's Special Forces Server Hosting, Explained
New to ESF?
What is Earth's Special Forces?
Earth's Special Forces is a free Dragon Ball Z mod for Half-Life, in the works since around 2000. It is a fast paced, third person fighter: pick your favorite character, then fly, power up, transform, melee and beam your enemies. Some characters are stronger in hand to hand combat, others with energy attacks, and beam clashes let players fight over an energy attack in a power struggle. Matches run on maps based on places from the show, such as Namek, Kame House and the Cell Games arena.
Melee and Beams.
Fly, charge up, trade blows and fire signature energy attacks.
Three Game Modes.
Deathmatch, team deathmatch and Capture the Dragonballs.
Why rent a server?
What is Earth's Special Forces Server Hosting?
An ESF dedicated server keeps your matches online around the clock, without a PC left on at home or ports to forward.

You set the game mode, start map, max players and passwords in the panel, match rules and bots in the config editor, have AMX Mod X one click away in the panel, and get full file access over SFTP and SSH for your own maps. Players join with Half-Life on Steam and ESF 1.2.3.
Always Online.
Your server stays up when you log off, so your group can fight any time.
Full Control.
Set your mode, map, rules and bots, and add your own maps.
