* Joining a Game *
On the Lobby screen, there is a server list in the center. Each server shows the name of the server, the amount of clients currently playing, the maximum amount of clients allowed on the server at one time, the game mode, which map is being played and whether or not the server is password protected. Double click any of the servers that are available to join that server.

* In-game *
Once you have successfully connected to a server, you must pick a team. You can press the '1' key to join team Red, '2' for team Blue and '3' will assign you to whichever team needs players. Once you have picked a team, you will be able to spectate other players (if you are dead or have not yet spawned). If you are playing TDM you can respawn your character in your base by hitting the 'F' key. Once you have respawned you will be able to frag members of the opposite team in order to earn kills and XP. If you die, you will have to wait until you can respawn.

* Game Modes *
- TDM (Team Deathmatch)
In TDM both teams (Red and Blue) must frag each other in order to gain points. The idea of the game is that the first team is exceed the maximum amount of points wins the match. This means that it is important to stay alive, as dying for your team effectively means that you are giving the other team a point. Once you die, you will be able to respawn after 5 seconds.

- Bomb Mode
In Bomb mode both teams (Red and Blue) each have an objective to complete in order gain a point. The objective of the Red team is to attack and plant a bomb at either one of the two bomb targets (A or B) within 120 seconds OR kill all the members of the Blue team. The objective of the Blue team is to defend these two bomb targets for 120 seconds OR eliminate all members of the Red team. If the bomb has been planted there is a 30 second timer before the bomb detonates. Within that 30 second time period the Blue team MUST defuse the bomb to be able to win the round (regardless of whether or not there are any Red players left alive). Bomb mode consists of rounds, once you have died you will not be able to respawn until the round is over. The round is over when all players on one of the teams are dead or one of the two teams suceeds in completing their objective.

* Maps *
The current playable maps prior to version 1.00 are:

- mp_plains
- mp_plains2
- mp_desert
- mp_houseinvasion
- mp_houseinvasion2
- mp_underground
- mp_frosty

New maps are being worked on and will be added to the game in due course.

* Updates *
As well as the rest of the already existing content, there will also be regular updates to the game. So every now and again you might have to update your version of the game. But don't worry, this doesn't mean that you must redownload the game, your game will update automatically for you if it is out-of-date. Updates could include simple things that you may not notice when playing the game such as bug fixes, but most updates will contain additional content (e.g. new maps).

Looks good so far, after a few visits to the team DM servers. Reminds me of soldat from my gaming days years ago.

Any scheduled game days or times you can post, so that players can jump in when they're likely assured to find opponents?

And of course, the inevitable question is: how can someone submit their own maps?
