An entire mod developed in a week. Is it possible? We just proved it was. An enjoyable mix of ego-shooters, fast-based CTF gameplay and team base attack/defend. The progress is available on the Facepunch thread.
Official media from JLea showing his progress on the coding side of things. Now with working Thirdperson!

Yes, it'll be optional, as they're already working on v_models.
Camera looks a bit too far away from the character to me. It would make it so people would just stand behind a wall unseen themselves but being able to see right around it and then they'd stab someone killing in one hit.
