The Oz Development Team

   Oz Deathmatch is no longer in active development for the HL2 Engine. The Half-Life 2 engine requires the mod to have both server side and client side modifications as well as more complex compiler features and I don't have enough time and energy at the moment to recode the mod.

As of Dec 2024 Oz 3.02 is still running in HL steam servers, 26 years after it began which is quite an achievement. I'm thankful to Willi and all the other programmers and players that have made this mod so great over the years.

Oz Deathmatch is the oldest non-Valve mod for Half-Life, preceded only by Valve's Counter-Strike.
