HL2 DM is one of the funniest mods I've ever played. I'm not entirely sure why, but watching as 3 players circle strafe each other getting squished by a car that someone rolled over on them makes me giggle like a schoolgirl. On one server the admin had the push physics up so that you can push objects by firing at them (almost like firing them with the physgun). Well you could also push cars pretty far too, and eventually get them airborn. People would fire at them and make them airborn really high in the air, then run near where it would land, and as someone approached, watched as the car came down and squished their opponent like a bug. There were many moments while playing this mod where I had to actually get out of my chair to stop myself from laughing. Good times.
