SourceForts Classic Server Hosting, Explained

What is SourceForts Classic?

New to SourceForts Classic?

What is SourceForts Classic?

SourceForts is a Half-Life 2: Deathmatch mod where Combine and Rebels play capture the flag with a twist. In the build phase, each team builds bases and other structures from blocks and plates to protect its flag, which is actually a ball. In the combat phase, players fight and try to carry the enemy's flag back to their own base. Then the game returns to build, so teams can repair, improve and change their forts before the next fight. The mod is free, and its community still runs its own servers.

Build Your Fort.

Walls, ramps and mazes from blocks and plates, built around your flag in the build phase.

Then Take Theirs.

Pick a class, from Scout and Soldier to Rocketeer, break through the other team's fort and carry their flag home.
