MCTF2? What's the deal with the games?

[Code220]

Ok so I have seen this on the forums and I joined the site but I'm kind of confused on the design itself... I wasn't even sure where to post this thread but I figure it fits into "Anything Minecraft"...

So does anyone know the history of how it got started, the mods they use for the bukkits, or how it will be run? I never played Team Fortress 2 but I am a Battlefield Heroes diehard so I know the jist of the game. Also will you choose kits, or get one character for the game and that's it? I can't login to the game and it says it's not available so I figured with all the updates and with the Catching Fire release, it's sort of a backroom project that isn't finished...

I am pretty sure one of the Minecraft updates completely broke the plugin and it has been overtaken by more important projects as the code would take a huge amount of time to re-create also the head developer of it has recently left the team I believe.

That sucks...
