Hi all,

this is a fast note that I'll be giving about the web & structure. Currently you're looking at the Old engine. Afaik, !Base is not ideal way to communicate with, even though my coding talents are good enough, but I prefer to work with vBulletin.

For that the reason vBulletin is active on the forums, how they're looking is just "Basic" and will change through the time. There for, please be patient because I'm still looking for a graphical designer to help me improoving all pages.

Then also included will be the all page conversions as included this on RavenClans.com, RavenFiles.com & RavenCommunity.net. RavenArchives.net will run this version of engine but all login and registrations will be disabled. Furthermore, I'll try to seek a way where I can input all or most of this news on the vB page/section.

So far this quick news, more will be following. You will be able to track most of this via our forums.

regards,
EuT.be

This just came from the Raven Soft forums. C.Bernstein has posted the next text to inform us all that they will be closing their boards.

Everyone. We regret to inform you that we will be shutting down the message boards. The message boards on the forums.ravensoft.com website will be down for an indefinite period of time.

By this, I think that RGN is in the urge of getting the website done and finished in order to welcome the guy's from over Raven Boards

Hi everyone and welcome!
I am John the new owner of the Raven Community.
We took over a little while ago but after some problems with the content management system and then some more bugs and issues we finally have everything ironed out!

There is a ton of awesome information here and as a gaming freak I am excited to carry on the legacy of the previous owners and contributors.

Much will remain the same like informative information from Jorge and Col.J.P. and some things will change a little. A new CMS will be added in the relatively near future and the forum will change soon as well. Don't worry nothing will be lost. All of the content and posts will move as well.

Enjoy!

John aka Freak

Maybe the next version will have buildings you can enter and an underground jail! Not much cover here so grabbing and capping the flags will be fun. A must for you to try out.

"I'm writing this open letter to announce my resignation from Raven Software effective Wednesday, June 30th and to let everyone know that this pending departure is both amicable and mutual. What can I say? It's been a hell of a ride.

In the past seven plus years I was fortunate enough to be able to contribute to twelve Raven Software titles alongside the most talented group of people I've ever had the good fortune to work with. I want to thank Raven for giving me the opportunity to start my career in game development and I send out my best wishes to everyone at Raven and Activision for their continued success. I know you'll all do well.

I'm sure the question many of you are asking is "why?" (Then again, maybe you aren't!) Put simply, I've reached a point in my life where it's time for me to move on to new challenges…to take some risks and make some time for a few things I've always wanted to do. I don't deal well with "what might have been" scenarios. That said, there are some shots I need to take and I believe now is the time for me to take them. The way I see it, if I don't do it now, I may never get the chance again."

Good luck Kenn!

Here is the fixed version of The Shop Nightfall for Soldier of Fortune II from Rapier! All errors and bugs have been fixed, so now you can enjoy the map as intended to be. The map supports CTF, DM, TDM and INF game types and will host 16 players.

This map is only a variation on our usual "Shop Nights" but I believe it will be worth it!

Check it out at SoF II Files!

This map is awesome! Its a medium sized map for Soldier of Fortune II based on a town theme. There are plenty of places to explore here, buildings under ground tunnels roof tops the lot. I tested this map in CTF mode, and I must say grabbing and capping the flags are sure going to be interesting!

This map will also suit the snipers out there, and there are plenty of places for the ambushers as well. This map supports dm, tdm, ctf, inf, cctf, elim and dem gametypes and will host 16 players.

And, in the author own words:

"This map also has buildings that appear only in certain gametypes. With a few secrets and overall fast paced action for fragging and lots of good snipe angles. Flag postions are also placed in some great locations.

After some consideration , I removed the CTDM gametype that forced it to D/L if on a server. If anyone wants that game type added, I' ll release it with the added gametype."

So there you got it, almost a masterpiece, you can't miss this one so go get it at SoF II Files!
