Talk:Half-Life 2: Capture the Flag

Reference URL help

I just added two references. I will come back to check the links and correct them when I have time between college classes. If anybody could look at my reference code and correct it so the site name displays instead of the url, yet have the link retain all information, it would be greatly appreciated.

And Someoneanother, Thanks for the extra references. Palehorse864 (talk) 08:34, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Hl2ctf-ctf atomicgarden-pro.png

Image:Hl2ctf-ctf atomicgarden-pro.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Cleanup

I've just tagged this article for clean up, there are several things I see wrong with it, most of it seems to be written like a game guide, which inappropriate. There is almost nothing about the history of the game, who created it? Valve? Is it an official mod or an unofficial one? There's basically nothing here someone unfamiliar with the subject would understand or want to know. No assertion of notability. Anyhoo, that's a start anyway. Rehevkor 03:38, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Plus it seems like it's a bad translation from a sketchy Japanese knockoff mod. A few pronouns and some punctuation wouldn't hurt here and there... Fultron89 (talk) 06:02, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

delete notfication???

provide a better reason then 'non notible mod'. The mod's devs actually faced off vs valve, i think thats pretty notible enough

i will edit this with history soon enough, but dont go on a deleting spree just becuase it makes you feel powerful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Polygon (talk • contribs) 09:48, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough. I tagged for clean up over a month ago (see above) and since then nothing was done, I'll leave it a bit longer before I move onto an AfD. As is the article gives no indication of any sort of notability, as well as lacking basic information about the mod that someone who is unfamiliar with the subject would understand. Oh, and please check out Wikipedia's guidelines on civility, good faith and possibly the information on conflicts of interest. HAND Rehevkor (talk) 14:13, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Valve Match Information Added

I added information on the two official matches against Valve. For those of you curious, here is a video taken from the second matc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUeIo_80xbI It omits the first half of the match and begins when Valve employ their hacked code to take the lead. Here is an announcement for one of the matches. http://halflife2.filefront.com/news/Valve_Match_Slated_for_6pm_Central;24902

Here also is the official announcement of the match through Steam. http://www.steampowered.com/Steam/Marketing/January27.2006/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Palehorse864 (talk • contribs) 08:38, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Valve match stuff cont

Someone deleted the part about the 'hacking' quote unquote in the valve match, i have the demos for this, and in my copious free time, i am going to convert it to a proper movie file, but it did happen, in the section above this we have a video of the match showing the alleged 'cheating'. Just leave the 'needs sources' until i or someone else can get a proper video up —Preceding unsigned comment added by Polygon (talk • contribs) 15:01, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Self published sources are not reliable sources. I'm going to remove the section for now until reliable sources are provided, as the "burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material", and no evidence has been provided. I watched the heavily edited video posted above and that is again, self published and unreliable (it's also hard to tell, what, if anything, is actually going on in it). Either way, a video of the match would never cut it, you'd need coverage from 3rd parties. Rehevkor ✉ 15:21, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Heh, it seems a bit silly to say that a video of the match itself doesn't constitute proof that it happened and cite "burden of proof" when someone else has furnished something you can see with your own eyes. Maybe pick some better phrasing. Say "Video evidence doesn't meet wikipedia standards" or something like that. Anyway, the section can be fully restored now as Rock Paper Shotgun has covered the videos and such, especially considering there was really no way for anyone but the game makers to do the things they did at that time.

To the original person, I would be interested in having these demos as I wish to chronicle this event in more detail, and submit better quality videos to certain outlets. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.48.70.193 (talk) 03:49, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Needs updating

The latest version of this game is 2.1. I have little experience with wikipedia or hl2ctf, but I'd just like to point that out in case anyone was interested.

official website

I'm not sure if the link to the official website should still be in the article - the only content the website has now (as of November 1, 2023 01:09 Europe/Warsaw timezone) is literally a slideshow with loud music that does not have any ON/OFF switch. And there is a text with version 2.5. And the red dot in upper right corner, that does absolutely nothing. 79.163.133.175 (talk) 00:12, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
