The classic mod the ship is reborn to the source engine. The Ship is primarily a multi player, online murder game with a unique set of game rules.

The Ship is owned by the mysterious Mr X and as one of many "lucky" recipients of a free ticket you arrive on board The Ship to find there's a catch to your luxury cruise.

You are coerced into a brutal Hunt to indulge Mr. X's fantasies, under threat of death for not only yourself, but also your family. Your only chance to save yourself and your family is to play the Hunt and win.

The ship has a bag full of very unique game play quirks many difficult to grasp without reading The Ships help log is here!

It's really a shame this game didn't become as popular as it could have.

I wish someone would make an rp mod based on this game.

Being one of the beta testers I can say that this game has come a long way. Whereas the conventional "Hunt" mode is the same gun-and-rush play and the "Elimination" still suffers from circlers ( people running half an hour without hitting each other blocking play ) a new and exiting "Team Mode" has been added which comes in two flavors:

"Team Elimination" requires you to decimate the enemy team to 0 players while preventing the same happening to yours. Still a bit unbalanced ( I just say "hold the library" for joking with insiders ;) ) but otherwise would provide some fun.

"VIP" on the other hand turns one of your team into a vip ( crown in the screenshot ). You have to protect your VIP while hunting down the VIP of the other team. With good teams on either side this can be hell of a battle with lots of fun.

All in all a lot of balancing is still required to prevent some of the more nasty problems ( like zone camping, door blocking, vip+rifle=frustration ) but besides this a nice fun if you hit enough players in a game. Just don't panic if you get vote-kicked. It is a sort of "game" to start vote kicks against each other. You will not really get booted, trust me ;)

Like it pretty much (played at the Free Weekends), but I won't buy it, because I don't have the time. :(
Anyway, although it is a pretty slow-paced game, it can make your blood boil if you were for just about to murder your quarry and you get killed by your killer.
Frustration and fun are really close together. Nevertheless, a nice game with great gameplay.:)

This is a great fun title for pickup games, online or off. BTW, it does even have a deathmatch mode but you still have to be a bit tricky. ;)

Extremely fun game. Not meant for people who just want to deathmatch. Its more of a fun game where you can just go to relax and have fun. I think I should say fun one last time. Fun.

This game is really fun when you have enough players. A few problems though, half of the game is about finding a weapon, the other half is about finding your prey. Also, there is very little real penalty for killing random people.

I've had tons of fun going around and hitting random people.
