Yep, you should be able to download this off of Steam right about now.
The SDK is also available if you want it.

Anyhoo, I'm gonna go check if you can get the grav gun...

True. In Halo 2, a sniper is immediatly the target for pretty much a whole team, unless they're intelligent and they change position.

So, never.

In UT2004 campers don't last very long, they get manhunted for the rest of the game...

It's a deathmatch game, where the best and most fun thing to do is to charge about attached to a table, ready to skewer/splatter your opponents...

you gotta remember that people find different ways of playing fun.

although i do think that all campers in any game should be rounded up and tied together in a building then the build should be demolished using a wrecking ball. then all their corpses should be burnt in a public place so people can walk by and point and laugh.

but thats just my view :D

In CS maybe, that's a game built around people sitting behind boxes and waiting for the other team to come charging round the corner, arms flailing and guns charging with "Funking camper" insult on standby, but for deathmatch games it's pretty pointless.

And annoying too. Being shot in the back by someone kneeling in the corner, picking people off from a distance and who’s only goal is to get the highest score.

No it isn't. Most of the time.

On this it's just plain retarded.

Especially Mr. Camper I described. He was just sitting there, guns in hand, killing. Most of us were trying to smack each other with bins and toilets, but oh no, that was too uncool for him. So he just sniped/rocketed/shotgunned us. Great fun he is.

Single player only, I expect a mod will change that sometime in the future though.

I'm actually loving this Deathmatch mod, even though I find deathmatch games on the whole, fairly rubbish. I guess it's just the smug sense of satisfaction you get after throwing a radiator in the face of someone who's been shooting you in the back.

It's just a pity so many people decide to use guns, but that said, they make good cannon fodder for my filling cabinets and exploding barrels.
