"Like the game of Quake II itself, Capture the Flag is an incredibly fun experience, but even that can be heightened greatly by understanding the basic and advanced strategies used by veteran players to frag and cap with ease. These strategies involve the knowledge and implementation of the game's 'Tech Powerups,' standard Deathmatch skills to employ in fights, and later, communication with members of your team, setting up offensive and defensive squads, and much more. CTF, as a 'goal-based' game, redefines standard free-for-all and team games, and is truly the Thinking Man's Quake II."

"The site was founded 7th February 2005 to serve the players of Action Quake 2 — the greatest game of them all. Here we provide all kinds of material to help the players make their gaming experience even more enjoyable, you can see everything we offer at the moment in the left-side menu. Remember — there is always new stuff coming, so pay us a visit every now and then :-) In matter of fact, the project was started already in year 2003, but it drained out cause of lack of interest. If you remember 'Action Adrenaline', then you'll know what we're talking about. What-so-ever, now we're here to finish the job. And for all of you developers: Please share your work, because it keeps this scene fresh and more alive."
