    I found this on youtube, it looks quite interesting.
    It's a gamemode concept based on the game Mirror's Edge, what do you guys think of it? Does it have a future?

    Check out his yt channel http://www.youtube.com/user/MechaBowser for more Parkour Fortress related stuff.

    I'd definitely like to try it once. Mirrors Edge was an awesome game and the scout is damn perfect for this

    yeah i've seen it, is awesome. i wish the class/es had it. parkour is epic in games :p
    except perhaps it wouldn't have much of a use, since most of the maps aren't build around Parkour. :(
    in this kind of user generated maps, it would be quite epic mode though :p

    I would like it. But i think it would be more fun if you made it more of a race with everybody against everybody trying to get in each others way as much as possible while trying to get to the end of the obstacle course.

    Nice, I was expecting something less developped.
    That could look really, really nice with that mod :

    Looks really cool. Just wondering if you still get the custom scout hands animations is you hide the weapon. Since the bat bothers me a bit with the strange overlapping of the animation.

    Well, the mode isnt finished yet, I'm pretty sure he will add animations and fix this and that etc.
    You can check his channel for newest updates. I would recommend replacing the bat with his bare fists maybe, so a server side custom weapon like in vsh mode.

    I agree, or a capture the flag mode maybe :D

    A CTF mode with these kinds of possibilities would be hysterical xD

    Holy ninjas, I was about to tell Snel about this mod. It WILL have a future btw (It's from the same creator of Advanced Weaponary and some other mods).

    I just played it for a bit and it's quite awesome...dunno how to do a wallrun but everything else worked :p

    The map from the video was included and another map. In that map there were 3 intels. Both teams need to try and hold all 3 of those and the carriers need to stay near eachother to eventually win the game. It was quite huge and you could basically go anywhere. It's quite intense to be followed by Blues while you're trying to navigate over the rooftops. :p

    So yeah, i could see this parkour mod working with these different kind of gamemodes.

    I played it today for the first time as well.
    The race mode is freaking sweet, even after many loses I still wasnt demotivated. It was a lot of fun, especially with friends chatting with the micro and laughing at each others fails. :D

    But I didnt like the ctf mode, people were just raping the spawns and didnt try to get the intels at all.
    And in addition I didnt know what to do with it, there was no "base" you could bring the intel to... and I hate the instant-kill crit you gain after running around without stopping...
    This mode has a future as a race mode, but not as a ctf mode in my opinion.

    In the right upper corner of the screen it says "Bring the intels together"
