Finally we're alone

This is perhaps the Jailbreak map that's taken the longest to complete. Spoondog writes on the subject of Isolated:

This map was really a community effort in the end... it went from the first JB map in development to... well, one of the last (spanning close to 5 years!)

This is a gorgeous map with great gameplay, and totally worth the wait and work that went into it (particular thanks to G.Lecter for tireless work on the betas). Go and get it.

The Name Dilemma Resolved!

Remember Jailbreak III, the version of Jailbreak we released for the original Unreal Tournament? And I guess you've heard about Unreal Tournament 3, the much-anticipated forthcoming game from Epic.

We plan on developing Jailbreak for this new game, but we have a problem: what do we call it so it doesn't get confused with Jailbreak III?

Well, after poring over suggestions from all parts of the community, we have found our new name....

We present to you:

UnrealBust

PS. April Fool!

Jailbreak Pickup

Say... what's a nice little Jailbreak like you doing here?

The Jailbreak pickup channel has been revived. So if you want to play a match, head there and find other jailbreakers: #jb.pickup on quakenet. Find out more about how it works in this thread.

It's always nice when other people agree with us. We think that Jailbreak 2004 is a great mod, but we also think that jailbreak, the game itself, is a concept that works well anywhere: two teams, two bases, two jails. Great gameplay comes from a simple idea.

Now jailbreak comes to one of the best shooters of recent years, as a team of two coders has just released Jailbreak for Half-Life 2.

I like this entry in their FAQ: Haven't you just copied Unreal / Quake / Half-Life - Jailbreak? Yes! Basically! We're not taking credit for any new innovations to the concept of Jailbreak, we're simply bringing the classic gaming fun of Jailbreak to Half-Life II.

We appreciate the compliment, guys. But I have one question: will there be headcrabs instead of llamas?
