I remember an HL mod where you had snowball fights. It was fun to throw snowballs at people. Anyone else play this mod?

I never played it, but the last time I saw my brother over Christmas he was carryin' in some luggage, and I hit him in the eye with a snowball. I thought it was funny until stabbed me.

That's just a real downer.

Some TFC servers had mods on them that added a snowball weapon.

Well, I remember getting hit in the head with a snowball with a rock planted inside of it, but no snowball Half-Life mod.

My brother and I are kinda-somewhat-not-really developing a mod based on dodgeball. I've just been too busy to actually put any work into it as of yet. So far, we've got team Ubiquitaar and team Bolivia. Its gonna be sweet.

I remember the south park FPS where you could wee on a snowball and throw it for a special attack.

There was a mod called Snow Wars or something. I think they once mentioned they would attempt to create it when Half-Life 2 came out. The problem with it is that it seems so novelty that its hard to get into it unless you are lanning with a few friends.

LOL yes Snow Wars! It was never really popular, but it was fun to play with local friends lol. I guess its my way of having a snowball fight since I live in Atlanta.

Digital Paintball equalled many fun hours for me back on HL.

Do you remember the vampire mod? Vampires were faster stronger and jump way farther then the vampire hunters. The vampire hunters had weapons though. It was pretty cool.

If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball (read: snowball)

Add matrix-like movment and it would be amazing.
With out it it would just be running aout and firing.
Kinda like Ricochet (sp?)

I tried Ricochet out one... boy is that game wacked.
Now would why valve even create that?
That's got to be one of the worsed FPS ever made :-P

I guess it can't have been a very heavy rock then!

No, though it had some nice jagged edges. Also, it took me a few seconds to get what you meant, maybe that rock was pretty heavy after all. :[

I liked ricochet, my air movement skills from tfc made me really really good at it. I played for like 5 minutes and was instantly beating everyone it was so great.

It was actually not a Valve made mod. When Valve took CS they did some experimental testing with other community made mods. CS Retail came with CS, Ricochet, Firearms, TFC, and two other mods that I can't remember the name of. Ricochet was just Valve's first attempt at sending users a full mod via Steam.

I can't backup every statement because its been awhile but to my memory thats how it was.

It's just boring for me :?
