The Pit!
<div class="IPBDescription">Exciting realism HL2 mod!</div> <img src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v444/Ness-Earthbound/pitbanner.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
I am currently starting development on a HL2 mod to trump all others, called The Pit. The exciting objective of this mod is to reach the pit before the other team, falling to your death and victory! The pit will be covered with a rug, to increase strategy and stealth.

A little backstory: Once upon a time on the planet Zergath there was a wizard, called Gradel. Gradel, having an IQ of 7, had nothing better to do than make pits in the soft, springy soil of the planet Zergath. Before succumbing to one of his own Pits, Gradel put a spell on the resident terrorists and counter-terrorists of Zergath, causing them to forever battle for dominance of the pit! By jumping into the pit. Oh, and the pit has spikes.

Fixed.
Marines line up on the left side of MS, Aliens on the right. Two onos block the door, one pointing in each direction out on the ramp. Ramp is mined and OC'd. A CC is dropped out on the platform and the starter begins to recycle it. When it puffs away, the onos jump off the edge and the race is on! (Anyone who dies by OC or mines loses)

I personally recommend Leonard "J." Crabs. If you can get him away from Something Awful, that is.
