Hello mod people.  As you're probably here to find out what Ballmen is, I will first provide a video.  If you like, keep reading.  Enjoy.

 


 

Ballmen is supposed to be fast and provide a lot of movement freedom, much of which is achieved with wallwalking.  Hopefully the video explained how wallwalking, the weapon system, and the pickups work.

A beta is ready and, unless something goes horribly wrong, will be available for download on Saturday. In the meantime, you can visit the mod website to find out more by reading the manual or talk on the forums.

This mod looks like pure pwnage!:D I haven't tried it since I'm currently in Japan only with my not-so-good tablet PC in disposition, but it looks extremely nice^^ Only complaint I have after seeing the movie is that the sound-effects HAS to be changed, they really suck. :P Sorry, but that's about the only complaint I can come up with, I love the idea of the bodies breaking apart upon death too:)

We have 0 experience with sound effects, so our only option is using some sounds already in hl2 or to get some free sfx from some websites that offer them. We've been going over the sounds and we'll to to replace a few of them, but they probably won't be much better. We'll have to probably try to find someone who can make some real sfx eventually, but for now the sounds probably won't improve much.

Great Mod Team!
It took me 10 minutes to get the hang of the controls but then I was off running and switching gravity and what not :)
Good times, I hope more people start playing so we can get some packed maps!

And it IS fun. There is already a handful of active players so the few servers get players every day. Try it!
