Crystal Conflicts: Scavenge to the Death

Crystal Conflicts, formerly codenamed Project PackRat, was recently honored with third place in the PC Gamer Quake 2 mods contest. Crystal Conflicts was developed by Two Pole Software, with additional help from Steve Crumpler and Rich Wills.

Crystal Conflicts is a teamplay mod. Its most notable features include:

Teammates must find 7 "message crystals" within the level and return them all to the home base
Randomly generated mazes. A different maze each time! Players must navigate these mazes to find message crystals, weapons, etc.
Mega bonus - Quad, invulnerability, health, and all weapons - when teammates return all 7 pieces to the base
Random placement of message crystals
Defensive tactics - in the enemy's home base
Project Plumber - the first version of the utility mod that may rock the Q2 world when it's released in a few weeks! It's still a secret 'cause it's the BEST feature of Crystal Conflicts, but you'll learn more about it in time

A Slightly Similar Mod

If you like the idea of a scavenger hunt, then check out Power Cubes. It hasn't been released yet, but it shows a lot of promise.
