There used to be a mod of Action Quake called AQ2: Heroes where there were two teams, the Hero, and the Villains. One player is elected the Hero. Everyone else is on the other team, the Villains.
The Hero:
is invincible, but still gets knock back from weapons and environments
has unlimited ammo (per AQ2 rules, still needed to reload. For vanilla Q2, perhaps his ammo slowly increases per weapon?)
can't pick up weapons, armor, techs, ammo or powerups
does not get frags for killing Villains
From the site:
They can't kill the Hero, but they get points for damaging him. Every time a Villain accumulates 100 damage points against the Hero, he receives a frag. Damage tallies are kept through rounds. A Villain receives full credit for a shot on the hero, even if it results in more than 1 frag.
The object of the game is to accumulate the most frags, by inflicting damage on others when they are the hero, and by not allowing damage on you when you are the hero. Inflicting damage on Heroes requires mostly the same skills as [Quake 2], and the realization that the Hero will return fire no matter what. It's not possible to merely hit first and kill him. Being the Hero requires different skills. You can elude your attackers by doing things they can't, like jumping off buildings. You can be more liberal with ammo, and you'll need to be, with so many attackers. Winning the game requires you to play both sides well.
