I just got this in Counter-Strike today on de_airstrip. This is definitely the best I've done. I had a 17 kill streak, but ended up 25-4. It was all with the silenced M4.
in really simple steps it's
1) Develop your idea and make a design doc
2) Recruit a team
3) Work on mod
4) Release mod
it's more complicated as you go, but the thing you have to remember is to just work hard, keep your team focused, and you'll get something accomplished.
The community mod has now begun development.

Thanks for everyone's ideas. We've now got something going thanks to you all. :D
I may begin development on a medieval-style mod... I've got some concept work and design documents but I'm debating wether or not to go through with it. I would need a talented, dedicated team and that's always hard to find, especially this late.
I think the numbers will stay high throughout. Right after the release there will be an explosion of members who want to know about the game and don't have it yet. Later, when the regular members come back from playing it, the ones who got it later will be playing. Everyone will be discussing it...
