I had a good idea for a mod once, involving a cs-like setup where one team is a group of human-looking cyborgs, and the other a group of raggedy style rebels. The gameply differs heavily:

1.) The cyborgs are class based while the humans are CS-style equipment loadouts.
2.) When you lose all of your health your put down but can call for help. Cyborgs can be reprogrammed and will spawn in on the rebel team the next round; rebels can be healed completely by medics.
3.) The cyborgs have way more health and armor but can't recover it; the rebels can heal themselves with medkits and can be revived with 50% health by someone with medical equipment.
4.) The humans have more of a variety of weapons; the cyborgs have only their class-based weapons.
5.) Cyborgs can reprogram other cyborgs BACK to their team once they've been downed.
6.) The game follows a UT "Assault" type of style, where one team is the defending team and must defend the offense away from a series of offensive goals.
7.) Machines have several vision modes and can see enemies better, but the human weapons do more damage.
8.) Cyborgs can deactivate onboard weapons and pick up human ones.
9.) Humans are fast and can acquire added armor or health; cyborgs are slow and can't get any armor or health.
10.) Cyborgs can't swim; they sink and lose health. Humans can swim like normal.
11.) Knockdown: the idea of getting ragdolled without being dead. Basically when things like grenades explode near enough to hurt you but only minorly, your character will be flung in ragdoll physics and damaged based on what he touches.
12.) When you down a cyborg, certain classes have a percentage of "backup power" available. When you down a 'borg, they go down but can get back up with a degree of health back, based on the percentage of backup power. Humans have a similar feature where, if you are carrying a medical equipment pack, you will automatically heal yourself to a degree when you get downed.
13.) Once a player is downed, they can be executed, reprogrammed, rescuscitated, etc. based on their equipment/class and whether an enemy finds them or not. The cyborgs can even plant a bug in the body of a downed player, and next round the cyborgs will all have a radar or camera that shows the position of others near them.

It's a crazy idea, but man...would I love to head that project...

Also...an exosquad mod is LONG overdue.

A mod in which the forces of Heaven are pit against the forces of Hell, possibly with a third team--Humanity in the middle.

Demons vs Angels vs The Sinners (humans) would have an interesting concept to it.

With a Pirates, Vikings, and Knights feel, a Vampire Slayer atmosphere, and maybe soon a HL2 engine to work with, I see this kind of mod becoming popular. And since I classified the humans as "The Sinners" why not call the mod, "The Sinners" the storyline being how humanity's sins created a war between Heaven and Hell.

Exosquad, Exosquad, Exosquad.... damn, it's been an eternity since I last saw that one.

I'd love to see an FLCL-based mod sometime. Fight each other with different kinds of guitars, gain NO to have a robot pop out of your head and help you in the battle, fly around on a Vespa.... that'd make an awesome mod.

You want wacky mods? Anyone who hasn't played Rocket Crowbar doesn't know what they're missing. 3 words. Drunken Crowbar Rockets. Not to mention pocket black holes, explosive scientish launchers, Barney the proximity mine, etc :p Funniest mod ever. Oh, and the crossbow sprays your decal on the wall when it hits.

A Halo-style Co-op mode for HL2's single player, I liked early Sven Coop when they made 2 player HL1 and nothing more, then they added too many additional monsters and forced you to play on Hard with infinite lives which sucked, a lot.

Also something pitting Forumites against Moderators, the forumites have flamethrowers and fireballs (for flaming), can summon trolls (for trolling), can throw spam at the moderators (phsyical damage) and have greater numbers. The moderators get ban sabers and can freeze the Forumites in place with warnings and temp bans.

The map would be a forum, will the n00bs overrun or will the administration force take control?

Well, that or something with Pirates.
