Jailbreak: Source Update

[Evo]

The guys behind the Jailbreak: Source mod have just got in touch with us with some lovely news and new screens...[br]

The countdown to the release of Jailbreak 0.4 continues today with six new in game shots of Iridium, once again from our Wednesday night beta test. You can also see three more of our new weapons; the Combine Pistol, the Railgun (!) and the Non-Propelling Matter Transport Device (!?).[br]This week we're also revealing one of the new core features: Point Scoring! Aswell as frags for kills, players now recieve points based on their actions during the round. If you're a natural defender, you'll recieve bonus points for fragging enemies near the release button. If you're a talented escape artist, then you'll get points for breaking out! Likewise, releasing your team mates earns you two points per team member released![br]The team can also recieve round bonuses for impressive feats, such as the whole of your team avoiding jail for the entire round. There's many, many more ways to gain points, meaning that it doesn't matter if you're no good at shooting straight, just play as the role you're most comfortable within your team and earn points for doing so! Next week, you'll find out what you can spend these points on...

Two teams face each other. Each time someone is killed, they're imprisoned. Your team can come bust you out though.

So what do dead people do half the round? Sit around in cells and wait?

Sit and contemplate what has happened ... narr not really :thumbs: each of the maps has a devilish escape route out of each jail, made to tax the mind in a number of ways. From physics puzzles to straight out run for your lives, each require brains while some require team work.

So in other words there's never any point you have to just stand around and twiddle your thumbs, this is as fast paced death match style gameplay as your going to get, the kind of gameplay us guys at Jailbreak love and the kinda gameplay we hope all you guys enjoy soon also!!

That sounds much better then sitting in spectator mode.

and I'm totally liking the setting of these new maps.
