There is no 'I' in 'drunk'.

There’s a video game mod that I’d like to propose, good for any multiplayer first-person shooter. I call it “Capture The Beer”. The premise, as you would imagine, is much like Capture The Flag, except that each team’s flag is replaced by a keg of beer that the opposing team must steal.

But here’s the hook! Whomever is in possession of the opposing team’s beer keg slowly becomes more intoxicated the longer the keg is in their possession. Their vision gets blurry, controls become less responsive… Eventually, alcohol poisoning kicks in and the player’s health begins to count down.

This element would be excellent for strengthening teamwork. You would always need someone to pass the beer to, if not to be close by to give you cover fire (while you’re drunk) or pick up the keg once you’ve died. This way, there’s no one who can get away with being a glory hog and the entire team depends on communication and coordination.

Okay, modders… Get to it!
