Merry Xmas for 2008! |
Just a quick announcement to confirm this years |SFH| Xmas break is Monday (22nd December) to Sunday 4th Jan 2009 inclusive. This means there will be no more practices this year. I'm sure however, there will be plenty of people about over the Xmas and New Year period, so in the mean time vent will of course be available for regular gamage and chat...
It has been a quiet year for |SFH| but moving into 2009 we hope to revive the old clan spirit (which by looking at the forums regularly, you can see is still strong), and become much more active over the coming months. We also celebrated our 6th birthday in 2008 and none of it would have been possible without the support of everyone involved. I hope that if everyone can continue with the same enthusiasm for the clan in the months and years the to come, then |SFH| will continue to be a force to reckon with!
Finally, from everyone here at |SFH|, heres wishing you all great Xmas and a Happy New Year !!! |

Battlefield 2142 Northern Strike - More info! |
Here is some more news on the upcoming release of Battlefield 2142: Northern Strike :-
Battlefield 2142™: Northern Strike introduces two new vehicle types. The heavy IFV Goliath is a massive, slow-moving firing platform available to the EU. It is used to provide cover, as well as health and ammunition, to nearby infantry. The fast-moving hovering light IFV Hachimoto, available to the defending PAC only, is an efficient vehicle killer when staffed by a well coordinated pilot/gunner team.
With ten new unlocks and ten new awards, Battlefield 2142™: Northern Strike offers unprecedented persistence for a Booster Pack. The epic Titan mode introduced in Battlefield 2142™ is available on two maps, and for the first time in an urban setting. All maps also feature Conquest mode with the Conquest Assault Lines set-up, in which the attacking army now has to conquer all control points before taking the enemy’s main base. Key Features
* Fast–paced, infantry-focused gameplay boosts the intensity of the all-out war experience. * Three new maps set in Europe, where snow-covered post-apocalyptic cities and a ridge in the Alps become the new battlegrounds.
* Two brand-new vehicles designed to support infantry combat available in an asymmetrical set-up, with the hovering light IFV Hachimoto available to the PAC and the massive heavy IFV Goliath available to the EU. * Increased persistence. Ten new rewards, one new pin and ten new unlock items at the top of the unlocks trees, available also on core game maps, take persistence to new levels. Unlock credits earned in the booster pack can also be used in the core game. * Epic Titan mode available on two maps, and for the first time in a urban setting, for more intense Titan gameplay.
* Tweaked Conquest-assault gameplay (Assault Lines game mode) on all three maps creates more choke points and more heated battles. * Horizontal podding gives infantry additional ways of moving across the maps quickly
As you can see, Battlefield 2142: Northern Strike is going to be AWESOME! We will most definately be making a purchse...

Dawn of War: Dark Crusade - Release Date Announced! |
The new Dawn of War expansion, Dark Crusade is due for release on 27/10/2006. We at |SFH| can't wait to try it out! A demo version has been released and is available for download here: Download Dawn of War: Dark Crusade Demo
The bitter war for domination of the remote planet Kronus rages between Tau, Orks, Space Marines, Eldar, Imperial Guard and Chaos whilst deep in their tombs beneath the surface the sinister Necrons are awakening after 60 million years in stasis. Now, in the 41st millennium, they have found a galaxy teeming with life - a galaxy ripe for harvesting.
In addition to the two new playable races, Dark Crusade will feature an all-new single player campaign centering on the conquest of a "meta-map," with each territory captured giving tangible rewards to the occupying force. A greatly expanded multiplayer component and a completely unique economy model for the Necrons will present gamers with the most compelling Dawn of War game to-date.
EDIT: This release date has now been pushed back to 3rd November 2006 - doh! |

|SFH| Co-locate our own server |
Great news! We have finally co-located our own dedicated clan server at the Blue Square data centre in Maidenhead through Poundhost Internet LLP. We have started off with a simple Compaq DL380 G2 (Dual 1.26ghz + 2.5GB RAM) as a test rig and once we're sure that we're happy with the connection we will be replacing it with a more powerful box (dual core with lots of RAM) so we can run more clan servers for more games.
In the mean time, our new clan servers are as follows:
85.234.152.59:27015 - |SFH| New Rats Server | www.sentfromhell.co.uk85.234.152.59:27016 - |SFH| New Classics and Customs Server | www.sentfromhell.co.uk85.234.152.59:27017 - |SFH| Day of Defeat: Source Server | www.sentfromhell.co.uk85.234.152.59:27018 - |SFH| KZ Jump Maps Server | www.sentfromhell.co.uk
See the Clan Servers page for more info.
EDIT: We have also added a 4th clan server - KZ Jump Maps which is an 8 man server running jump maps 24/7. This will have checkpoint installed asap for all you jump fanatics! |

Warhammer : Mark of Chaos - New Games Workshop RTS! |
Thats right, the Games Workshop have decided to license a new RTS game, this time set in the fantasy Warhammer universe...
Warhammer : Mark of Chaos is being produced by Black Hole Entertainment, though no release date has yet been set.
Unlike most RTS games, where you will start from scratch with each new battle, in Mark of Chaos you keep your army from battle to battle and the army you finish the game with is the same army that has battled with you throughout the whole campaign, so there is a premium on keeping your veteran units alive and keeping your Champions healthy.
In multiplayer, you can do all of the above customisation of your army, and you can also customize everything about the look of each unit. The editor allows you to paint your army any way you want, create a custom banner for them, and further customize every aspect of how they look, form the armour they wear to the type of beard they have on their faces.
The storyline itself has been described by the games lead producer:
Chris Wren: The storyline for Mark of Chaos begins at the end of the Great War between the Empire and Chaos. In Warhammer lore, Magnous the Pious of the Empire has struck down the Chaos leader Aasavar Kul using his Hammer imbued with the spirit of Sigmar, an Empire god. With their leader slain, the Chaos army has broken into small tribes and war bands and is left scattered throughout the northern Empire. The leaders within the Empire are left squabbling for power all the while a corruption of Chaos from within the Empire begins to take hold and the Chaos forces scattered about begin to search for a new leader.
You will take up the role of either an Aspiring Champion of Chaos or the Empire to begin this struggle. On the Empire side, you begin as a lowly commander forever hindered by your family's dark past, your father and entire family has been once accused of being in league with Chaos and your entire family bears this mark. You must prove your worth to the Empire by leading its forces to victory over the Chaos Hordes to regain your family's honour. Should you begin the game by choosing Chaos, you will start as an aspiring Champion but without an army and you must challenge the other tribes of Chaos to earn their respect and loyalty by defeating their leaders, with this you will build your army and restore the taint of Chaos that once plagued the Empire.
For more information see CVGs interview with Chris Wren HERE. |

Sent From Hell aquires Sent From Hell?!? |
We at sentfromhell.co.uk have finally purchased the sentfromhell.com domain name. To tell the truth we were not all that fussed about it before, until some thieving b****** bought it up in order to try to sell it back to us for about £150?!?! Well as we all know theres only one way to deal with bullys... ignore them, so we did! 6 months later their registration expired and we bought it back up! Hehe!
So for those of you "in the know" a we've now setup a redirector from the sentfromhell.com to the original sentfromhell.co.uk address. Simple, but effective! |

Dawn of War: Dark Crusade - Title and Second Race Revealed |
THQ Producer Sean Dunn today confirmed rumors about the second expansion for Dawn of War, titled “Dark Crusade”. The new expansion will bring the Tau and the Necrons to Dawn of War and is scheduled to be released this fall.
"The cat is out of the bag a couple weeks early, but yes, this information is correct. Dawn of War: Dark Crusade does in fact include the Tau and the Necrons. There will be massive amounts of video and screenshots coming out of E3, and I even will try and make our entire E3 presention available in HD online somewhere. I can truly say that I have not been more excited about the new races. I have never been a huge Necron fan, but not surprisingly the designers and artists have done an incredible job on both races, and the Necrons are a sight to behold!" |

Winter Assault at World Cyber Games 2006 |
The World Cyber Games has announced the titles for the 2006 competition, and Dawn of War: Winter Assault is among them.
The World Cyber Games Committee today announced the eight titles that will serve as official games for the 2006 World Cyber Games. The six PC games and 2 console games includes: StarCraft: Brood War (PC); Warcraft3: Frozen Throne (PC); Half-Life: Counter-Strike 1.6 (PC); Warhammer 40,000: Winter Assault (PC); FIFA Soccer 06(PC); Need for Speed: Most Wanted (PC); Dead or Alive 4 (Xbox 360) and Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360).
These will serve as the official events at the 2006 Grand Final in Monza, Italy this October. Organizers are particularly excited by the inclusion of Project Gotham Racing on the Xbox 360 since the Grand Final event will be held at the world famous F1 Autodromo in Monza, known throughout the racing world as the premiere racing facility on the Formula 1 circuit.
In addition, the Counter-Strike competition has been changed from Source to 1.6 to facilitate better operation of tournaments leading up to the Grand Final. This move comes as a result of player feedback on the World Cyber Games website following last year’s successful event in Singapore.

Battlefield 2142? |
There's a Battlefield 2: Modern Combat Q&A on Shacknews where Dan Blackstone answers questions about the upcoming console edition of the modern combat shooter. Along the way he makes a cryptic hint about the future of the Battlefield franchise when asked about what's next:
"We’re about to announce something very big, so stay tuned. One other interviewer asked this and I gave him a hint, so it’s only fair that I do the same for you: 3213/3X2. Or said another way: S.R. 4588164."
A follow-up on Shacknews shows a couple of their readers seem to have worked through the elementary puzzles: "the first set of numbers comprise mathematical operations (equaling) 2142. The second phrase indicates the square root of 4588164, which is 2142." Seems like a pretty strong hint that the future of the BF series is in the future in Battlefield 2142. |

Dawn of War News: Second DoW Expansion Announced! |
THQ has Announced today that a second expansion is in the works for the one million unit selling Dawn of War franchise. The expansion is due out fall 2006 and will feature TWO new races bringing the total number up to 7 unique races! The press release also confirms that one of the two races will infact be the technologically advanced Tau.Tranj of THQ comments on the exciting news and whats in store for the DoW community:
Quote: "We're extremely proud of the world-wide critical acclaim that the million-unit-selling Dawn of War franchise has received to-date," said Ron Moravek, general manager, Relic Entertainment. "With this latest expansion, we've taken feedback from the players to create a powerful, action-orientated single- and multiplayer experience that is enriched by the quality and depth of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Dawn of War will be forever reforged for the Greater Good!"
Quote: "The expansion was one of the exciting announcements, but not the last. I can't spill the beans yet, but when it's time it would happen here first. As for reducing the "spam fest" aspect of WA, that is definitely one of the focuses of the next patch. Sorry to be so vague, but if I announced something now and it didn't come to pass for one reason or another, you guys would be pissed. We have a lot of insanely cool stuff hiding up our sleeves."

Dependant on performance this may be only a temporary server but if the IPs change again I will update the site with new details...
UPDATE: We have decided to go with another server provider for a more permanent solution, Clanservers.com
We have bought 2 servers to replace the two above and the IPs for these will be announced tomorrow after we have had time to set them up properly. |

Xmas Break 2005-2006 |
Just to confirm I am setting this years xmas break as Thursday (22nd December) to Monday 2nd Jan 2006 inclusive. This means tonights practice will be the last this year, though I'm sure there will be a few peeps about on Thursday night for a pickup game or a bit of classics and customs. We will start back fresh in the new year on Thursday 6th Jan 2006 assuming we actually have a server organised by then! In the mean time vent will of course be available for regular gamage...
A word of warning for public players - we may be losing our current servers due to lack of funds but rest assured we hope to be back in the new year with a minimum of a new Rats server. Keep your eyes peeled here for more details!
Finally, everyone have a great Xmas and a Happy New Year for the guys here at |SFH|!!!

Dedicated Server Rebuilt |
Some of you may have noticed that our main server went down last weekend for about 60hrs. The reason for this was that it was being repatched and rebuilt with Windows XP.
We are now in the process of reconfiguring all the configs on our servers for the XP dlls but this is a lengthy process so please bear with us. The servers are all up and running now but it simply means that some features may not be available (such as stats) for the next few days.
Thank you all for your patience and understanding... |
|
Server Renewal |
Our dedicated server has now been renewed for another 3 months, thank you again to everyone who kindly contributed to the costs.
If any public users of the server wish to donate a little bit of money towards the server it would be greatly appreciated, please contact me directly in IRC or on the server for details... Cheers! |
|
Happy Birthday |SFH|!!! |
It has come to my attention that on the 1st of June this year (give or take a couple of days), |SFH| celebrates its 3rd birthday...
During this time as a clan we have had almost 100 members and our servers have served over 40,000 members of the online gaming community...
I would just like to say thank you to everyone who has made this possible over the past few years and wish everyone and the clan itself continuing success in the coming ones...
LONG LIVE |SFH|!!!

WEBSITE MOVING HOST! |
I am moving the whole site back to our original hosts on FastHosts as they have some good deals on space and b/w. Also they were VERY reliable unlike the company were with at the moment, as well as the fact that their servers are in the UK so no more incorrect dates on the forums...
This will happen over the course of the next 2-3 days hopefully and you may have some DNS issues when trying to access the page. I will endeavour to disable the forums over this period or give you a temporary link on which to access the new hosting for the site.
Update (2pm): While your DNS entries are being updated (and these will happen on an ISP by ISP basis), the website will temporarily available here:
http://domain781662.sites.fasthosts.com/
However please note this will be unavailable until tonight when I copy the site across to the new location...
Update (7pm): Everything has now been moved to the new hosting - all should be working fine and we are just waiting for the DNS entries to update. I have put an auto-forwarder on the old hosting to the temporary space.
Update (23/03 @ 2pm): All of the DNS entries have now been replicated pretty much so all should be working fine now! The only proviso is that the webmail access from the main page for members is unavailable but can be accessed from http://webmail.sentfromhell.co.uk instead for now.

I have spoken to MicrosoftUK and they can confirm that they never use this kind of system and it is a SPAM EMAIL that should be ingored and mentioned to all your friends and colleagues not to follow its instructions.
This may seem a easy to spot spam email but someone may just give their CC details and not realise its a con and lose a stack of money via a credit card scam So if this post just stops ONE person falling onto this trap its a good day indeed |

Version 2.1 Released! |
Believe it or not here it is already! Version 2.1 of the new site has been completed and uploaded. It includes a number of bug fixes (including a fix allowing people to actually start registering again - oops, should have tested that!) as well as a new login system to allow clan members access to their webmail via this site.
As for our DNS problems, aparently the DNS update failed and therefore its going to take at least a day or two more to update as the change needs to be resubmitted.
Any questions please dont hesitate to contact me (preferably via the forums or irc until the DNS starts working again!) |
|
sentfromhell.co.uk Version 2.0 Complete! |
Ok lads and ladies, I have FINALLY finished the initial release of the new page. You can find it in its current state with pretty much everything working fully.
Over the coming weeks I will be adding more features such as the comments system (allowing you to leave comments on both news stories and match calendars/results). I will also be updating a number of other areas and attempting to upgrade the code for the entire site to the latest web wiz version to update a few bug fixes in the core code etc but for now here it is in all its glory... enjoy!
A quick note as well to all |SFH| members - those of you wanting your own @sentfromhell.co.uk email address available via POP3 and webmail please catch me in IRC or post your request on the appropriate thread in the forums. Ta! |

The New Site - Nearly Complete! |
I have finally found a few hours to try to finish the new webby in time for our new hosting provided by... me!
I decided we didnt have time to wait around for our new "sponsors" to bugger around so I went out and found us some nice cheap hosting from http://www.landofnet.com which I plan to just pay for myself...
If anyone wants to chip in a couple of quid to help me out (hosting is gonna cost about £40 p/a) then feel free to ask me for my bank details at any time... |
