Eagle-Force, also possibly less officially known as "Eagle Force" was a Half-Life modification being actively developed throughout 2000 and lead by Punk_Kid. It was previously known as The Swat Team Mod but during January 2000, changed its name to Eagle-Force. It was to be a team-play SWAT based modification to compete with the similar themed game, Counter-Strike.

During a questionnaire with Punk_Kid, he explained that what set their modification apart from the many Counter-Strike and Action Half-Life clones being developed at the time was that they were taking their time and focusing on all the problems that those modifications had and improving them. Several web-based interviews were done with Punk_Kid over the development of the modification including interviews from 3D-Shooters and GamersOrb.

Website

The official website was originally located as a hosted site on HalfLife.net, and then later moved on January 24th, 2000 to their own domain at Eagle-Force.net. During February of 2000 a new site design was implemented as the growing success of the modification. At one point during April of 2000 the team released a hosted site entitled "Eagle Force Headquarters (EFHQ)" which contained more fan-based information about the modification.

The last news update was posted on December 5th, 2000 by Punk_Kid (promising an upcoming release). During August, 2001, a temporary page was put up with a taped note graphic with the message: 

subject: eagle-force
status: alive and kicking
current state: development

We'll Be Right Back

In September, 2001, the site was taken down and forwarded to a German page, seemingly unrelated to Eagle-Force.
