Over the last few months there has been an influx of new Team Fortress 2 players in South Africa, this has been the trend in the relaxed, less serious form of the game, known to most as pubs. This has become a huge problem for the competitive side of TF2 as not alot if not any of them have tried to get themselves into the competitive side of Team Fortress 2 and start new clans. We do tend to see a decent amount of new guys playing in pickups, but still this is not helping the competitive community in any way. 

The existing Clans in Team Fortress 2 are all lead by players that have experience from when Team Fortress 2 first hit South Africa. In an attempt to try and give a boost to the Team Fortress 2 competitive scene miNt Gaming and Equilibrium.TF2 have teamed up with IS Gaming to host a 1v1 Soldier competition. The main objective is to get all those new players that enjoy playing on the public servers to be more involved with the competitive side of the Team Fortress 2 community. This will not only help nurture young talent, but will also help players looking to join a team be more recognised whilst showing everyone how much fun Team Fortress 2 can really be if players are committed. This competition will be free to enter and will have no prize at the end, but players will be able to gauge their skill compared to other Team Fortress 2 players in South Africa. I think we owe it to ourselves to show other gamers that Team Fortress 2 is not just a comic strip, but more a complete game that requires great skill and a lot of dedication and time to get good at.

We are going to be cleaning up the clan admins as there has been a lot of abuse of late. All clans are required to go through the steps to get their admin reactivated before the upgrade is done. The changes can be found here.

We are happy to announce the new COD4 admins for ISGaming. The admins will have full roles granted to them across all COD4 based servers.

As there is a trial period for these admins, players can be added and/or removed as required. So this list is not final...

As the topic states we are going to be doing a cleanup of the IS TS Server. We will require that you please have a representative for your group or clan in your channel on Wednesday the 5th of August 2009 at 8pm. We will also be removing all the SA from all members and will be reassigning them as required. Members that haven't made use of their account for more than a month will also be terminated.

We are proud to announce the launch of the first -IS- FarCry 2 server for ISGaming!

The Dedicated server had been suffering from serious instability and random delays. This is since been fixed with the 1.03 patch. The server details and patch details can be found in the Game server Details list. A forum has also been created for you to comment and give suggestions.

America's Army 3 is the full version release of the official U.S. Army game and has more authentic military elements including training, technology, weapons, and audio than any other military game produced so far. AA3 delivers stunningly realistic characters (the Army had Special Forces Soldiers show up at the studio to get every movement just right), environments, lighting effects, animations, and team-based experiences.

This is a first person shooter game where players are bound by Rules of Engagement (ROE) and gain experience as they navigate challenges in team-based, multiplayer, force-on-force operations. With 15 different map/mission combinations and exclusive advanced training that allows you to unlock new abilities and customize your gear, you'll experience Soldiering in the U.S. Army like never before.

We are proud to announce the return of the -IS- MIXED SNIPERLESS server. The server has all of the most popular maps. The post for the addition of maps are listed here. A zip file with the needed maps can be found here. This is a player managed server so let us know how you want it setup and run.
