The game was RMG-CTF format with over 50 total non-bot players at any given time. The score was deadlocked at 0 to 0. In a sweeping blow to the blue team, linux.penguin (now -die->penguin) captured the enemy flag, ending the longest continuous "active" non-bot match in SOF2 (Soldier of Fortune 2) history.
