A Modification for Quake 4, really to enhance the basic multiplayer that Quake 4 will provide (DM, TDM, CTF, that we know about).
We will offer several modes, DM, TDM, LMS, Tourney, CTF, One-Flag-CTF + a UT Variation (Bombing run), Freeze Tag and Head Hunter (Harvester), OverLoad, etc, plus more if we have time... If vehicles have good support we may do an onslaught type variant or vehicle ctf as well.
The mod will feature game styles: Doom, Quake, Quake 2, Quake 3, Quake 4 and a UT-Like style (weapons with alt fires).
Also additional modifiers (mutators), such as insta-gib, dodges, double jumps, etc.
So for instance a map will be marked as being a Quake 2 Style CTF map, the player will be defaulted to having a Grappling Hook.
There will be a variety of server options, ie, respawn times (player, item, wepaon, armor). Plus being able to set a global server style, so a server could be set to play every map in the Quake 3 style, and have the ability to map weapons around.
This mod will start of as Doom 3 mod, (Doom 3: Arena), and once Quake 4 comes out, and the Quake 4 sdk, we'll start work on it.
We are currently looking for mappers, concept artists, texture artists and modellers (weapon, item, etc) and animators.

I thought the standard multiplayer of Quake 4 was going to include most of this. Pretty sure it wouldn't have some of that other cool stuff like BR and Freeze Tag, so cool by me.
Eventually it will get like that i hope. But for the first little while, the mutators will be defined as options, eventually people can add there own, kinda like ut.
I so cant wait for this mod!! Yeah its gonna own.
Wait.... Wait one minute arent i on the team.
The mod is moving along we are working on a few more ctf maps for the new gametypes and we should have some new stuff to show off soon, we hope anyway. We hope you all enjoy it when we release the first test.
Some time this coming week ill get the forums online. In the mean time enjoy thinking about Freezetag, Im a big fan and hope you enjoy it too.
