I thought of this a while back; I think it's a decent idea that would add a bit of interest to a deathmatch.
A 'frag-marker' weapon - probably just a mod on the sniper rifle. A player shoots another player with this, and this 'marks' them.
The person who marked the player can still kill them for a frag, but here's the clever part - if another player kills someone who is marked, the marker gets extra points, and the killer gets nothing. Or maybe even loses points.
Also, perhaps the marker could get even MORE frags if the marked person kills themselves. That'd add yet another dimension.
Obviously, when the marker is killed, all marks are removed.
Some extra rules to balance things:
- ammunition for the marker-gun would be very limited
- there would be a limit to how many people one person can have marked. maybe that limit would be 'one', and if you try to mark another person, the mark would transfer to them. Or the marker would explode.
-marks can be transferred
-there is some kinda (subtle) graphical thing to show a character is marked, and who by.
- a markee can kill their marker for extra points
optional rule:
- only a headshot will mark someone
yeah. interesting, dontcha think?

P.S. Don't call it just another hunter MOD cuz it's not.
