|
Mar 06, 2008 - 1:53 PM - by Focused News

TF2 Custom Map Night:
Many thanks to Bane for getting into gear to organise our first TF2 Custom Map Night on Mar 10th starting from 6PM EST. Make sure you check out the thread and pre-download the maps, so you can get in game faster. We'd love to hear your feedback on the new maps, which will determine if they stay or if they go.
We also have a new IP alias for the TF2 server to make a direct IP connection easier to remember:
tf2.focusedgaming.com
Enter this whenever you would normally enter a direct IP for our TF2 server and you'll get straight in.
FFoW Server Updates:
Frontlines: Fuel of War made a great start here and we're looking forward to this title bringing us the large-scale teamwork we've been wanting. Hidus will be taking over as Game Manager as Santa works out how to make his Commodore 64 run the title.
Don't forget to check out our Getting Started with FFoW thread if you're just getting going and also our Server Details thread for up to date info about the server.
Email Accounts for Subscribers:
As an added bonus and thank-you for subscribers, we're offering you all your own email addresses @focusedgaming.com. Features include:
- 6GB online storage.
- Webmail access.
- IMAP / POP access.
- Built-in SPAM and virus filtering.
- Email forwarding.
Just send me a PM to get you started.
AudioSurf:
Zoraster has rolled out our first AudioSurf Weekly Song Competition. For those new to AudioSurf, it's a super-addictive budget music racer available now on Steam. Check out the About AudioSurf thread for more details and to see sample gameplay.
Crank up your speakers and ride your music!

FFoW Retails in 4 Days:
Get ready to take those sick days in preparation for the release of Frontlines: Fuel of War from KAOS Studios on Feb 25th. Check in on our FFoW Forums for some Breaking News, handy hints and user contributions. There have been many improvements since the Beta, with a confirmed changelist posted.
Hidus has a new Teamwork Video entitled "Double Barrel" showing off a two-squad pincer attack on the Streets map in the Beta. Check it out, comment on it and rate it up where you can.
We also have some great hints on how to play the roles set up as stickies, so don't miss out.
A bunch of people have expressed interest in buying FFoW, with a large majority going with the option of a Steam purchase.
AudioSurf:
A great new budget offering from Steam at $9.95, which is taking Focused by storm: AudioSurf. Ride your music with custom tracks loaded from your own music library. Offering gameplay from a calm meander to a heart-thumping adrenaline ride, it's entirely up to you. Check out the sample videos in the About AudioSurf thread for more info and start bragging about your awesome skills in the AudioSurf Forums. You won't be sorry.

 January 2008 Review |
|
Feb 16, 2008 - 3:52 PM - by Focused News

Well, it's been a month since the new site went live and what a month it's been. We could not have expected the kind of support and success we've achieved in such a short space in time. Thanks go out to all of our subscribers who helped pay for our outgoing expenses. That's not to forget those of you who couldn't afford to subscribe, but instead chose to contribute with your time and effort to help enhance our focus on teamwork. All of your contributions are much appreciated.
With the gushing and back-slapping aside, let's get onto the news:
FFoW Teamwork Video: "Pressure"
Hidus has been busy recording some great FFoW footage and released his inspirational first video: Frontlines Teamwork "Pressure".
Be sure to check it out where published, add comments and rate it up.
TF2 Highlander Event:
Zoraster will be organising the first Team Fortress 2 Highlander Event where two teams duke it out with only one class of each available being fielded in a battle of teamwork and skill. This event will be taking place Sunday night at 8PM Eastern, so be sure to jump on TeamSpeak to root for your team.

Subscriptions, TF2 Reserved Slots and SourceTV |
|
Jan 24, 2008 - 5:05 PM - by Focused News

We are pleased to announce some new features at Focused Gaming:
Subscriptions:
We are now accepting subscriptions from members who wish to show their support for the community and get access to extra features and benefits.
We'll be rolling out detailed benefits over the coming weeks, but reserved slots are available right now on the TF2 server. This feature will extend to all new servers we host.
So, if you like it here and want to show your support, while saving the wait in line to get on the server(s), then feel free to sign up. We thank you for your support to keep us online 
TF2 Reserved Slots:
We have enabled Reserved Slots on our TF2 Server for subscribers. It's just one of the benefits we're offering to subscribers, with more coming in the near future. Keep checking back for updates as they are implemented.
SourceTV on the TF2 Server:
We have enabled SourceTV for TF2, so those of you who just like to watch can do so without occupying a slot on the server. Whether you're just idling for fun or checking out just how that nemesis of yours manages to kill you so much, it's a great way to view the action and entertain yourself.
Let us know what you think.

We've got our Steam Community online and ready to meet up with your fellow gamers. We'll be posting special events and manning the chat room should you have any questions to ask. This is an open group, so feel free to join up and say hi.
Remember that any member of the group can invite anyone else to join as well, so if you run across good team players on the server and feel like inviting them, don't hesitate to do so.
Also, idle in the chat room whenever you can to interact with fellow members.
Focused Gaming Steam Community Group.
