Fortress Forever Server Hosting, Explained

What is Fortress Forever?

New to Fortress Forever?

What is Fortress Forever?

Fortress Forever is a free Source mod inspired by the early Team Fortress games, Team Fortress Classic and QuakeWorld Team Fortress. An all-volunteer team built it from scratch and released it in 2007. Two or more teams pick from nine classes, plus the Civilian, and fight over each map's objective: capture the flag, territorial control, invade and defend and more. Offhand grenades, rocket jumps and bunnyhopping keep it fast, and play ranges from competitive and technical to absurd and chaotic.

Nine Classes.

Scout, Soldier, HWGuy, Medic, Engineer, Spy and more, each with its own abilities, plus the Civilian.

Map Objectives.

Carry the flag, hold territory, or attack and defend a base, with objectives scripted in Lua.

Why rent a server?

What is Fortress Forever Server Hosting?

Fortress Forever is played on community servers, so a server of your own gives your clan, scrim group or friends one reliable place to play. A dedicated server keeps it online around the clock, without a PC left on at home or ports to forward. With Physgun it deploys in minutes, with the server name, starting map, max players and passwords in the panel, match rules and class limits in the config editor, SourceMod one click away in the panel, and full file access over SFTP and SSH for your map rotation and configs.

Always Online.

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

Full Control.

Set your map rotation, rules, class limits and password, and run SourceMod.
