    Jailbreak Source v0.3 Released

    A mod that has seen releases across multiple games over the years, has now found its way onto the Source engine. I'm talking about none other than Jailbreak Source. Commonly referred to as Jailbreak!, the latest version has all of the Source bells and whistles and has new maps, new gameplay mechanics, and other goodies.



    If you've ever played or heard of a game called "Release" in your younger days, that's what Jailbreak! is all about. Two teams square off against each other, with kills resulting in the person becoming captured and thrown in a jail in the opposing team's base. Their only options of escape are either through secret passages or waiting for a free teammate to activate the release mechanism. Failure to be released results in the captive players dieing in a number of unique ways in their jail cell.[break="hop the bump for download mirrors, a few images, and a link to the video"]Download Mirrors:Images:



    And finally, a lovely link to the video. I used be a part of the team involved with the Jailbreak! mod for the Half-Life 1 engine, and the mod is an absolute blast no matter which engine or game you play it on. I haven't had a chance to try this version out yet, but I wish the team good luck in this venture!

    JB Source is great, I wish they had more servers supporting them!

      Interesting concept. Though I have not played it, I wonder what the nexus of action is in this game. Is it breaking out, or regular style choke points?

        I believe I remember this as a plugin from 1.5...



        It was an AMX plugin IIRC. I remember playing it on this 24/7 militia server back then..It had three horizontal rings of different colors for the 'bars' and you were sent there when you were killed. The holding place on this particular map was T spawn. I forgot how players were released, and where they went when they were, though... =\

          A plugin for 1.5? Never knew that even existed. The HL1 based one was a full fledged mod along the same vein as this one.

              Weird. Well, definitely give the full mods a go. For some reason I think they're a whole lot better than what that turned out to be.

                I've been playing JB source for a while. The main action comes in releasing your teammates cause when you die, you respawn in the jail. It's pretty much deathmatch plus base infiltration. The entire other team has to be in jail at the same time to win the round.
