"You’re out on the battlefield, you’re dodging RPG’s and bullets trying to flank the enemy and take them by surprise, they were two steps ahead and you find yourself trapped in jail. The clock is ticking you don’t have too much time to run through the crazy mazes of lasers, air vents, and deadly gas. With this high pressure situation creates an urgency that most games lack, it’s both refreshing and engaging enough that there's never a dull moment. Team work is needed but it's not forcefed to you like many games/mods are striving for today. This allows you to play in whatever style suits you best and still have a contribution to a team win."

"I understand you have version 0.4 to a playable beta stage, how has this been progressing and what kind of typical experience can a player expect?

Wills: A typical experience? We can sum it up in one word: Fun. There's nothing quite like the rush of running, falling, jumping and crawling your way toward the release switch whilst under fire from rockets, railguns and lasers... then jabbing that switch and releasing all your team mates! Then finally watching as they all come running out of the open doors and beat the other team to death with Laser Cleavers! There's never a dull moment in JB, you're either fighting to stay alive, fighting to release your team mates, or fighting to escape from jail!"

"Jailbreak [0.4.1] is a unique modification with dynamic gameplay. While the universe of Half-Life 2 is still present in the form of the Combine and Rebel player models, it is able to remove you from that area of play by the use of very different map locations and jail traps. The content of the game is good, but I look forward to the different map environments the most. There are maps that resemble a classic Quake 3 CTF and oddball wacky maps like an Elizabethan town in England. Who the hell does that? What other modification has massive team Deathmatch action in the middle of a creepy old town?"

Jailbreak was featured on May's ModTV Spotlight video, filmed by Henley, it showed off a short sequence from in-game.

"It's a novel twist on the typical deathmatch gameplay familiar to so many mods... but with a wider range of tactical options this could be one of the best multiplayer experiences in the crowded Half-Life 2 modding scene."

Just prior to the release of Jailbreak 0.4, two members of the Jailbreak team were invited to be interviewed by ModDB's Stenchy and Henley... The result was a fifty minute chat, involving Dinosaurs, Robots and Tophats! Skip to 34 minutes in to hear the interview!

"Ok, the rules of Jailbreak are simple. If you kill someone they go to jail. If that seems unfair to you, then stop living in such a dumb, idealistic world. This isn't Christmas and Santa isn't keeping a list of who cuddled the most panda cubs."
