Many of you may remember Oz Deathmatch from the original Halflife days. It was one of the first mods out there and the beauty of it were three things: 1. No client-side download, 2. Full customization of the game's aspects in multi-player, 3. The grapple hook.
Losing #1 wouldn't be too tragic with how easy Steam makes it to download and install new stuff.
However, I was wondering how easy or hard it would be to re-code the Oz mod with the new Source SDK tools. The reason I think it would be simple is there are no new models, maps, or faces; just coding everything to be customizable (how fast weapons fire, gravity, physics, how much weapons spawn, and all the fun variables that made Oz, Oz). The only thing to add/code would be the grapple hook (because it's not Oz without a grapple hook).
I know there is a team working on developing it now, I'm just curious as to how easy or difficult a mod of this caliber is based on the professional opinions found here.
Thanks in advance, and if the team is reading, best of luck!
