Inspired by the CRPG series Fallout and the HalfLife mod WastelandHL I thought about how games of INF would play when ammo was very rare. I think it would be tremendous fun.
Here's the idea which can be realised as a mutator or gametype:
Either played with players divided into teams of two or three per team (with the camos of the different teams being easy to distinguish) or as everyone for himself DM.
There'd be no LOs as we know 'em. Maybe ppl would be allowed to choose whether they want the best armour and helmet INF currently has to offer or rather less protection but slightly better speed and stam than armoured ppl. But to make things easier for the one that wants to code this it'd be fine, too if that choice would not be possible.
Maybe ppl would be allowed to choose with what single weapon apart from the Ka-Bar they'll start but again it could do without and instead everyone'd get a randomly chosen one [certain ones should probably be ruled out and be forbidden(e.g. the gren-launcher)] ...
The general idea is that everyone will start out with only a single weapon and only three bullets for it.
Based on the # of players and the kind of ammo their weapons need there would be a bit more ammo spawned randomly (also only three shots max in the mag) and maybe optionally one/or more of the too powerful, ruled out stuff (weapon/+attachement).
To prevent this to be dominated by camping (for which I don't see any more reason than I do for in normal DM) this could be played with normal respawns and a time limit but I think the normal round option would work anyway.
When you don't mind even more unrealism in an INF mod the whole idea could also be realised by increasing ppl's health (or decreasing damage dealt) and the limit of ammunition be raised to let's say half a mag ( no drum or minimi belt! lol ), that'd allow for some burst or full-auto fun, boasting and instilling fear.
