The Demoman on basic Bombermod gameplay

Bombermod is a server modification by SLAG Gaming based on the popular video-game franchise Template:W. It was developed by Mecha the Slag and Lefonna of Slag Gaming. It has a bit of notoriety, appearing on the front page in the March 2012 issue of PC Gamer[1], as well as on Kotaku[2] and Nerd Reactor [3].

Gameplay

Each player spawns as a Demoman in an arena surrounded by large blocks that are either destructible or indestructible, and use a modified Stickybomb Launcher to destroy surrounding blocks, as well as enemy players. After a player is killed via either another player's stickybomb or their own, they respawn in an area above the game map, where "Revenge Mode" activates. Revenge Mode is similar to the original Bomberman Revenge Mode, where the player uses a modified Loch-n-Load with only one grenade in a clip and a significantly longer reload time to hit players in the map and potentially return to play by killing one; however, it is possible to kill more than one player at a time. After either a certain amount of time has elapsed, or there are only two players left in the map, Sudden death mode will activate, where every Revenge player will become "Ghosts" at regular intervals - re-appearing as a Monoculus that causes instant death on contact.

Power-ups

Various Power-ups may appear from the rubble of an exploded block, taking form as color-tinted Halloween pumpkins - Red pumpkins grants faster reload, faster shooting, and faster bomb detonation, while Blue pumpkins increase the total amount of stickies than can be held in a clip and Green pumpkins grant faster movement speed. The pumpkins work similar to a "level progression" system, in that the more pumpkins a player accumulates, the better their abilities will be. When a player who has collected any power-ups is killed, every pumpkin they have collected will scatter around them.
