My big idea, which I might try my hand at as soon as the SDK (i forget what the acronym stands for) or at least I get off my lazy ass and look at some of the editing stuff, considering other people dont seem to have much trouble crapping out mods every 3 minutes. But it's a multiplayer mod
The premise is, scary movie style action. The majority of the players are scientists. 1 player, or something, is the monster. All the others have to hide and try hard to avoid the monster. The monster stalks the dark hallways, and tries to slaughter the poor scientists. Victory for the monster would obviously be, mass slaughter of all the other team. The scientists would win if they could manage to kill the monster, which would be difficult, because the scientists have severely reduced speed, health, stamina, and such, because they're weak little scientists, and not marines. Weapons would be available, but probably fairly well hidden. I've seen mods in UT and such able to randomize some things, like weapon placement, so I think there should be countless hiding spots for anything the poor scientists could use to actually defend themselves with. Guns would be really well hidden, maybe little things like knives or wrenches, that would basically be suicide, would not be hidden well. Otherwise, the scientists could also try to run out the time limit. When the time limit is up, marine reinforcements arrive and easily blow the bastard away.
Thinking about it, weak monsters would be best, maybe the imp would be the best role to play, making them formidable to the unarmed scientists, but not like, a hell knight rempaging through the labs to easily smash them to bits.
For UT, there was a Thief mod, which incorporated very interesting stealth elements, which would be good for this. Not for the scientists, but the monster, able to do that nice impy trick of crawling on walls and such, and hide in the shadows until it's time to strike.
Summary: Scary monster movie. Monster tries to pick off the poor victims one by one.
Enjoy
