Suicide Survival
Half-Life 2 mod | Released Nov 28, 2008
Suicide Survival is a Mod of Half-Life 2 Deathmatch. There are two teams so you either play as Survivor or as Suicider. The goal for Survivors is to stay alive (duh!) and to spot the Suiciders before they can get close enough of to you. They have the book “Gardening for Beginners” by Barbara Bush as a self-defence weapon. The goal for Suiciders is to sneak up close enough to the Survivors so you can blow yourself up. Suiciders play as shrubberies in a map full of shrubberies thus blending in with the enviroment. If they dont move you dont know which one is being played by a player. The game doesnt have a goal currently other then being simple team deathmatch. However its planned to transform it into a round-based survival with a time limit.

When you saw this news post, you probably wondered : "What the hell is Suicide Survival?"
Well, I got the answer for you : Suicide Survival is hilariously fun!
When Tobias Baumann, the creator of this mod, started working on it, he had a vision in his mind for the mod, he wanted it to:
1) Be Unique & Fun to Play
2) Be Simple yet Addictive.
3) Make You Laugh, A Lot.
4) Move Away From Things Like Realism & Common-Sense.
Did he succeed? Well... that's a matter of opinion, but this simple fact may give you the answer: Only a day have passed since the mod release, and it already got a lot of lovers & a very positive feedback
The mod
After I got your attention with this long introduction, It's time to reveal what the hell this mod is all about:
You play either as a Survivor or as a Suicider.
The goal for Survivors is to stay alive (duh!) and to spot the Suiciders before they can get close enough to you, The Survivors have the book “Gardening for Beginners” by Barbara Bush as a self-defense weapon.
The goal for the Suiciders is to get up close enough to the Survivors so they can blow themselves up. Suiciders play as shrubberies in a map full of shrubberies, thus blending in with the environment.
If they don't move you can't know which one is being played by a player.
The Mod's Creation
The mod was originally being developed by Tobias Baumann as part of the course: “Multiplayer Games and Technology” in the 5th semester at the Game Design Bachelor degree at the ZHDK, Switzerland. Tobias has decided to continue the development and to refine the gameplay in future releases.

Call for Help
Tobias Baumann works on this mod alone, in his spare time, and he could use some help, and by help I mean mapping, and by mapping I mean maps full of shrubberies. The mod also needs more servers, a lot of people want to play, and the current official server is hosted on his own computer with limited bandwidth.

This is pretty cool, I like how it looks and I will try it out tomorrow, might set up a temporary server too.
Yeh, looks cool
I laughing already. Going to spread the word out to my friends right away.
Genius! This is such fun to play! :D
great mod, usually hosting a 8 player temp server when I play.
This mod is hilarious fun. Excellent job!
I wish there were more players, this idea is amazing.
sounds like fun :p
This idea sounds amazing... my idea of a simplistic, yet incredibly creative/fun mod. Very nice!
Unequal, that's for sure. I'll give it a try!
That was worth a try and it's so totally unique that the gameplay alone can keep it interesting for quite a while. Pretty addictive, if more maps are made, so hopefully there will be some good Hammer-People with some ideas. Can make a lot out of this.
Really fun, great and simple idea. Had me smiling all over.
sounds like the ship, but looks fun haha
awesome gamaplay
Amazing! I grabbed it because it looked weird enough for me to enjoy it, and creative enough that it wasn't just gonna be crap. I love it! Congrats. I've had some fun there.
Had a pretty good time playing on it, but Survivors are weak! I love being a bunnyhopping Suicider :). Fun concept!
The dev is working on making the teams more ballanced, I'm happy you enjoy playing it =)
this game is fantastic fun!
i feel that for the game to be most fun for survivors, there should be far fewer of them than suiciders, but that means there needs to be a way to balance them out a little too
I feel the opposite, different tastes!
Awsome cakes! Grabbed myself a chunk of this cake!
Great concept! Are you ever going to reach a point where Shrubberies are replaced with other..."stuff" so you could do different themed maps?
*Downloads*
In the next version (1.1), it will be possinle for mappers to replace the shrubberies with w.e they want. =)
No servers? :/
This sounds awsome! I will certainly download this mod as soon as i get home!
Bloody brilliant mod! :)
But hard to play when the only servers that have players playing are like 400+ pings :(
