If you invert the scoring system (Push other in the pit and avoid falling down yourself) then its some great quick fun, that will last a good 10 minutes before it becomes stall.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That takes away 80-90% of the originality! A game where you <i>try</i> as hard as possible to commit suicide, as many times in a row as you can, holds far more potential (IMHO) than just another "kill the enemy through slightly different means" game. I mean come on, Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy are basically "Force Push the other dude down a bottomless pit" already.

Just yesterday afternoon, I pitched the idea of a mod night at my boss at the lan cafe. He aproved it and agreed to once a month. I used to play this old HL mod called NS1.04, used to be really cool, im sure there are links around...

I will jump in and bump my favorite mod (already mentioned) as <a href="http://wizardwars.planethalflife.gamespy.com/default.asp" target="_blank">Wizard Wars</a>. It works with Steam.
Basically it is a TF game. 9 Classes + The archmage (Vip) Combo spells (work with teammates to get one shot mega spells) Seals (create a magic circle with a special effect depending on your class) and a good deal of other things.

Pretty please don't introduce a bunch of new people to 1.04. The newest version is a lot more polished.

Is Gears of War an Unreal 3 mod? Is Call of Duty an Unreal mod? Is Call of Duty a Quake III mod? How about Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy? Are Daikatana, Anachronox, and SiN all Quake II mods? Are Tribes: Vengeance, SWAT 4, XIII, and Republic Commando all Unreal 2 mods? They're not mods man, they're games. A mod does not mean "built on an engine not specifically designed from scratch just for this game."
Please no engine discussion. They are boring and can be avoided by the use of google anyway <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
