Based lossly around Battel Royal, the player spawns with a random weapon in a random location. If you're lucky, you spawn with a AK47 and can go hunting. If you're un-luck you spawn with a knife and have to sneek around in the bushes untill someone else comes along. Killing happens untill there's 1 last person standing, who is the winner.
because the starting weapons are random, you might be able to play gun-ho or you might have to sneek- this should give some nice gameplay.
There might also be a Teams mode, where 2 teams fight untill the last man. This means lucky person with the AK47 can cover his team mates as knifers jump from behind walls. Team mode sound alot like CS to me, which is not a bad thing.
If HL2 physics are good enough, the players might be able to do some sneeky traps, like pushing boxes onto poor people below. Using knifes to cut ropes on bridges- i loved doing that in my HL1 maps
To give the mod extra appeal, there will be some sexy (3D) models. This will keep dead players intrested while thay wait for the next round in freecam/observer

Corrupt program now requires constant reboots and does not function at all in majority of instances. Designed with a web browser component to replace AOL, it has exceeded our expectations by being more crashy and unreliable and with worse tech support. We didn't think it was physically possible! A general product recall is advised; when it does function it seems to require background processes Girl 0.1Beta to stave off further crashes. Will someone PLEASE remove that code, and insert Backbone 1.9 in its place? That's assuming we even bother to continue this prog.

I've been thinking about a simple mod for HL2, called 'Deathmatch Island'.
Based lossly around Battel Royal
At last, someone else who has seen this fantastic film. I think this mod sounds like a great idea.

This is only loosely based on BR. There wont be any danger zones or exploding neck braces.
The only way people will notice its BR heritige is the Japan schoolgirl models

Options for unlimited ammo, ammo on the ground (like standard DM) or a set number of clips of ammo would be useful, too.
Including some AI bots would give newbies something to frag, or keep it interesting for a lone player on an otherwise empty server.
As long as you have sweet maps the idea will work exceptionally well.

I think each round will take about 4mins. Any longer and the poor newbies who die right at the start will leave. The player has to make his ammo last for 4mins or find a new weapon.

Yes, I know that reading the bitching in support forums helps, but for every bitcher there will probably be 5-9 non-bitchers who agree with them, or have gone off the mod because of a certain comething they don't like.

This almost like the reverse of balancing a mod. In this mod you either have the advantage or a disadvantage. You have to use your mind to overcome the people with better weapons.
I decided there will be BR style neck braces. This gives the time limit more reality. If your not the last person standing in 4mins, you die.

Bash functions would be cool.
Neck braces will be fun.

Besides, the AK would be the loudest thing on the island...hunting...
The timelimit/neckbraces is funny.

This could lead to some interesting last stand moments. Where the player is willing to risk everything to kill his enemies in vengeance for making him lose.
Survivor Island might be a better name for this mod

Too cute! | Server Status: If you can read this, it's up |Well, when it comes to writing an expository essay about counter-insurgent tactics, I'm of the old school. First you tell them how you're going to kill them. Then you kill them. Then you tell them how you just killed them.
