History
The Specialists was created by Filippo "Morfeo" De Luca & Lorenzo "John_Matrix" Pasini. Originally made to be a team-play game (much like Counter-Strike, but with added action movie realism), The Specialists soon evolved into a death-match game with action movie realism. The Specialists 1.0 was first publicly released on October 29, 2002.
On June 21, 2007, The Specialists received its final major update, 3.0.
As of 31 December 2009, The Specialists' official website is down.
On 15 March 2011, fan website http://www.thespecialistsmod.net was created in an attempt to rekindle interest in the mod, but the website went down in a few months.
Then in July 2012, fan website http://www.thespecialists.tk was created as a lasting resource.
