Gladiator mod for Half-Life

Gladiator is a multiplayer melee-combat total conversion for Half-Life.
Centered around the gladiator battles in ancient Rome, this mod puts emphasis on
strategic melee battles.

Elements that have been incorporated to improve strategic melees are:

-A slower pace of battle, so you can plan your moves. This is not about
hyper-speed battles, but slightly more drawn out melees.
-Blocking with shields or weapons.
-Round based team play, where one player will have to wait the round
out after being killed. Each player belongs either to the Gladiators or
the Romans.
-Different classes which provide different weapons and skills
-Special moves: kicking, sand kicking, shield bash, and other skills
depending on class type as well.

Elements that add a lot of atmosphere to this mod:

-Notoriety. This is a measure of your popularity with the crowd, and determines
the available selection of classes.
-Beasts included in battles add an element of danger. Lions, tigers and rhinoceros
are planned.
-An interactive crowd that spectates battles between players and reacts accordingly.
