The end of WON. Everyone knew it would come soon, but they didnt know when. There has just been some news from Valve's marketing director, Doug Lombardi
"Starting July 26th, the shutdown of the WON authentication servers will begin. This process will be completed on July 31st. This means players will no longer be able to access Internet features of Valve games, such as Counter-Strike 1.5, using the WON authentication servers. Users can continue using Valve games on the Steam service by downloading the Steam installer and setting up a Steam account. For more information visit www.steampowered.com. Counter-Strike 1.5 players will be upgraded to Counter-Strike 1.6 free of charge through Steam."
The end of WON is near, and Steam is here to take its place. I know about half of the TFC community is still using WON, but the change has come. Its now time to move over to Steam. But dont worry, with Half-Life 2, TFC:S, and eventually TF2 around the corner, its best to switch over or else you will never be able to play the games mentioned above.
If you think you are ready to switch now, head over to the Other Files section and download Steam or get it from the official Steam website, www.steampowered.com. |

There has been a lack of updates on this site, so I thought I would give everyone one today.
As you should know, today is a holiday in America, Independence Day it is called, so I would like to say happy holidays!
Secondly, Im not sure anyone knows this, so now is a good time to say it. Half-Life 2, the second game in the Half-Life series, is going to be released soon on a brand new engine! And along with that comes TFC:Source. That is TFC running on the Source engine (the name for the HL2 engine). What can we expect? Lots of things! Realtime phyisics, brand new weapons models, new player models, maps will be redone, lighting will be superb, and so on! It will be great. So if you are very interested, stop by this site every once in a while to see if there are any updates on TFC:S. |

| There comes a point in all website's life where they reach a certain age. This is not an exception. I never thought I'd see the day when I would actually have a website or even one with 10,000 hits! Now it has happened though, so continue coming here and hopefully one day this site can reach the 1 million hits mark. Way to go everyone and thank you!! |

| I have fixed the server status page so that it now shows the status of 5 different servers, including 1 DoD one, and 1 CS one. I have also changed around some things concerning the Screenshot of the Week, so now it shows more images at random with captions. I will try to keep the site a bit more updated, like the creations page, which I plan on changing soon. Stay tuned! |

Well im just so happy! As promised, I have finshed my first map, desertland! Its a 2fort style map with different features located in a remote desert, far, far away from any life. The map is in rotation on my server, so if you want to play it, go there! The server IP is 24.14.208.223:27020. Also, to download the map, click on the maps link or download it directly from here: desertland.zip.
Happy fraggin'! |

Finally! My site is up again after about 1 month. Gah, it was a big ordeal with me running around trying to get my other domain back but thats just not possible right now. So i switched from www.stfcc.net to www.stfcc.org. If you still have the .net domain bookmarked, Update it to .org. So once again, its finally up. No, I didnt die or anything like that, I was just having troubles with my domain. But anyway, now that i switched to this much better hosting, I have every single map on here available for download with really good speeds. The forums work now which is also good, but only one thing doesnt. The server status pages still dont work for some unknown reason. So once i get those to work, everything will be back in place.
One more thing. If you have any cool or funny screenshots from tfc, please send me an email; Im testing out some image randomization code instead of the Screenshot of The Week (SoTW). |

| Sorry for the lack of updates, but ive been really busy. But since im here now, might aswell tell you whats important. I dont think ill have my domain name or my webhosting for this domain any longer, so im switching back to my website running off my computer, once more. If i get too many hits, I will try to get someone to sponsor me. So once this site goes down, please visit http://tfc-center.no-ip.org. And yes, this one is different from my last one since they wanted to charge me a fee for the ftphost.net domain. And lastly, Happy New Year everyone!! (3 days late) |

| Here we go again. Once more, my ISP has changed my ip! This is getting revolting. But since I dont feel like doing anything or calling them to keep it once and for all, ill stick with my new one. So if for some reason you need it, its 24.14.208.223 |

| After some delay, i have decided to make a new status page for all the servers. Yes, this means that the ads will be removed and it will be easier to view the status of the server. It also comes with some new features, so go check that out. I will also add some more servers to the list, including one DoD server and another TFC server. |

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! And since its a holiday, might as well post some special news. I have been really busy lately. So, since there hasnt been much news, ive decided to post some pictures of my new map. Cliffside is its name, and you can see the pictures by clicking Creations on the menu then Maps. I hope you like it.
And before I forget, i have joined a HL2 mod development team which I will be making maps and models for. I will post all the creations i made for them here aswell. The mod name is Coldwar: Melting Point. |

Sorry for the lack of updates. I have had many things to do, like school, family dilemmas, and such. I will update more often now. And since here is an update, i have a special, little, something for you guys. If you love HL2, then you will love this Half-Life 2 skin for Windows Media Player 9.
To download this skin, click here. |

CNN is now reporting on the leaked playable version of Half-Life 2. It's actually rather informative and sums things up pretty well:
"When hackers broke into the computing system of Valve Software, they stole more than just the source code to Half-Life 2. They also stole enough game maps and other components to put together a playable build of the game. Today, five days after the first leak, they have released that build.
Message boards and chat rooms were buzzing Tuesday morning with word of the leaked game. Some fan-based and hacker sites were even displaying in-game images. It is unclear whether the leaked version features the entire game or a limited number of levels. Also unclear is how current the assets used to create the game are...
Today's release of a playable version of the game brings Vivendi's comments from earlier today into question. Ramboz told Reuters "a third of the source code was stolen". However, with the stolen game now out, it's possible a more complete version of the source code was taken." |

Since this site is being payed for by someone other than me, to repay them back, the visitors to this site should click on the sponsor flash to help keep my site up. So please, if you come by this site, please support it by clicking on the sponsor flash located under the Screenshot Of The Week. Thank you.
In other news:
As quoted in PlanetHalfLife.com:
Security experts are blaming known but unpatched vulnerabilities in Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer for the theft and distribution of the source code for a much anticipated new video game.
"This is what happens when you have 31 publicly known unpatched vulnerabilities in IE," wrote Thor Larholm, senior security researcher for PivX Solutions LLC, in a posting to the NTBugTraq mailing list. "I have seen screenshots of successfully compiled HL2 installations, with WorldCraft and Model Viewer running atop a listing of directories such as hl2, tf2 and cstrike." |

| Seems like my ISP is really messed up. They changed my ip once, then again.. and today, again. So, if you ever want to go back to my old site, it should work now. Also, my TFC server should be up. The ip has changed to 12.250.40.15 This is a real pain! |

| Half-Life 2 is only 9 days away. That means that many people are anxious to get it, just like I am. HL2 will be the greatest game of its kind on the release day. But anyway, since right now there is no HL2, lets get on to the regular news. Steam will soon overtake HL and its mods, so we will have to use that. I have made an FAQ for people with questions about Steam/Steam play. To get that FAQ, click here. I will add more questions/answers to the FAQ as more people have questions. |

| Steam has now taken over HL. So i guess that means that after the 24th of september, we will no longer be able to play HL/TFC/CS without steam. They will be taking the WON servers down. That means that all banned people will be unbanned and all admins will be un-admined. Since Steam has been officially released, they are starting over with everything. This is bad news in some way. With past experiences, people think that Steam is spyware or some kind of a virus. Well, if you think it is, be my guest. But i can tell you one thing. Steam is NOT spyware/a virus. This will break up all the clans out there. So please, consider switching to Steam. If you dont, then you wont be playing HL/TFC/CS/HL2 (once it is released) ever again. So if you want Steam, grab it from my downloads page or directly from here. |

| Ive updated my Creations page by adding the maps section. Now, for all those people waiting to see my map, now you can. Click on the Creations on the Misc menu down the bottom of www.stfcc.net and then click maps. Since i do update my maps often, the screenshots may be out of date. Ill try to update the creations page as often as i have to. |
