The Sands of War team is proud to announce that the first public version of Sands of War 2 has been released! You can now download the mod and play it as soon as there are server up.
You can grab the 30MB release over at our download section:

We are still looking for a few more mirrors. If you can mirror the file, then please do so and tell us the url so we can add it.
We need servers big time, so if you can host a server then please do so! A linux build is currently in the works and will be ready soon.
This is just the very first beta of SoW2. There is still much work to be done on the mod and we got quite a bunch of ideas for future releases. Do not expect a perfect game but rather a good base to build further releases on.
If you got any talent for game development(texturing, level design, coding, etc.) then do not hesitate to contact us!
While downloading you can enjoy some screenshots from two of the maps in beta 1:
*Note game icon is currently incorrect as this is a Source mod.
Looks suspiciously like counterstrike source.....and DE-Dust
i second that
thats because its being made using CSS, They prolly haven't changed out the models yet.
No it just looks like a big version od de_dust with a buggy. It looks nice anyway.
You guys should create another entry for SoW2... Seeing that HL1 icon there confuses me.
Yeah we are working on that issue, sry for the confusion.
In your mod control panel, goto the profile settings where you can change the Released or not info and there is a game selector, and you can change it to hl2 if you like.
Yeah I am aware of that, but this don't work for us. Intense is on the case and we will have a solution soon.
i doubt anyone will want to host a mod that looks exactly like counterstrike source (player models AND gun models, and map looks suspiciously like de_dust as well) :-/
once again, thats because it is css. =/, thats the p90 from source, the dust textures from source and the radar is from source, it is CSS!
lmao if it is source, then why the hell release it as an entirely new mod
its basically just a new map for CSS. Everything is basically the same as CSS except the map, but the map even uses CSS textures.
I don't know what they were talking about "good base", but this mod is horrible, you have to go pointblank to even hit, and snipers do like 10 damage, it's like CSS with bad aim, and less weapons..
I don't mean to be mean, but this is in NO shape to be released. There are tons of problems with it...if anything this should be an INTERNAL alpha...just seems a tad too anxious on thrying to get it out....
