All Your Base Belong To Us
Ok, I admit that title has very little to do with this post but I always wanted to use that reference. And besides, one word in the title refers to what I want to talk about.
xwmstormx is working on porting the Abandoned Base deathmatch map to Borderlands. Very cool stuff since there's been many laments about the limits of Borderlands multiplayer capabilities.
Right now, he's looking for help with testing on the mod. If you do enlist though, be sure to heed his warnings and back up your saved games.

Thank you for the honor of putting this on the front page. There is still a lot of work to be done on this project and I look forward to the future. With enough support perhaps we can convince Gearbox to 'open up' the multiplayer experience within borderlands.
Deathmatch is difficult with 4 players. Which is why the maps need to be small and thought out. I found that this port would be perfect since it is capable of handling a 1v1 match. Deathmatch at this time within Borderlands is also difficult with the mass amounts of hacked weapons being spread around the multiplayer community. Which is why this mod removes the inventory of each player. This was only done so that players can have the chance to have a 'fair fight' where the weapon doesn't make the player.
Time will tell where this project goes or leads into.
I really like the idea of removing the inventory. I'm not against modded weapons, but it's made it more difficult for us to organize fair PvP tournaments.
I fairly feel the same way. I'm not against a modified weapon that is realistic. Anything beyond realism for the game is simply a hack and should be trashed. Hopefully with the introduction of the new DLC it will make my job easier since I may not have to strip inventory and people can use their hard earned weapons in a PvP environment again.
Unfortunately at this time the desire for PvP mods and levels is not in demand. Though that doesn't stop me from finishing this mod or creating others. Currently I have plans to create 2 more PvP maps. Though at this time I am not starting another project until after the new DLC is released. I need to see what affect if any it has on creating new content.
