Mr McRussell pointed Prop Hunt at me yesterday, and thinks it’s in agreeably spirit of the mother game. I have to concur. One team spawns as a variety of bits of scenery. The other spawn as pyros. The latter hunt the former. Hilarity ensues. I found the Steam Thread including a list of handy servers playing it courtesy of Shacknews. And you’ll find videos of barrels running desperately around below…

    Has anyone else played the “sc-something-x bonus beta” map in TFC? It was a popular on fun servers. It’s basically hide-and-seek mixed with prisoner rescue. The civilian team has 60 seconds to find a hiding spot on a huge urban map with tunnels, docks, office buildings, and tons of hidden and hard-to-reach locations. The opposing team of 3 or so spies then has to kill all the civies in a few minutes. When you die as a civie, you respawn in a locked room, but can be rescued if one of your teammate sneaks into the subway tunnel and presses a release button.

    The Mike Myers music plays the entire round, too. Good times.

    this is like the best mod i’ve ever seen. awesome idea, done great.

    I played this almost all day today, and while some maps are terrible (swamp and maze) the rest are incredibly fun and hilarious. Make sure you have a microphone.

    Ah, this reminds me of all the fun I had playing SuicideBarrels for GarrysMod with a few friends.

    You won’t have the last laugh when you just killed a barrel, heard someone scream ‘OVER HERE’, turn around, and a barrel that surely wasn’t there before suddenly explodes 3 feet away from you. Good times.

    I love the internet

  6. COD4 has a props mod aswell, brilliant idea. Nothing funnier than watching a group of people chase a box running for its life

    I had a really great time with this until spectators started revealing positions and other crap, it was a shame

    This mod wins an internet.

    This looks hilarious (I see I’m not the only one having flashbacks to HL1’s satirical Crate Deathmatch mod). That I can’t play it yet is a testament to its popularity – every server I find is full!

    Having just spent two hours kakking myself, I have to admit, this is a brilliant mod. High points are when you are the final one and everyone is trying to goad you into using your mic or somehow being discovered, going on the run and surviving.

    Pure genius.

    Yeah they should have some trigger where Yakety Sax plays when you’re the last one alive on your team and you have to run when the pyros find you.

  13. Tei says:

    I have played it, and have lots of fun.

    Is the source code of TF2 released? Is somewhat strange theres no more mods for this game. This one is awesome, but seems is using a hack to run.
