First beta version of Bloodball mutator for Deathball was released. Some features:
- New weapon that has no weapon switching animation and no weapon switch delay. No shoot bug found so far either.
- Volley speed control: Shield Fire is chargeable.
- Ball protection with body. I.e. you can't be tackled from behind.
- Supports Bombing Run too.
It's not really balanced, but hey, it's beta.

Deathball right-click-pass has some serious problems: You can't control pass speed so you are not able to make easy, slow passes. This reduces teamplay efficiency, because lack of easy passes sometimes results in losing the ball. Right-click-passing is also greatly dependant on player, who you are trying to feed, while the passer is the one who sees the situation better and should be in control. In many cases it's also not good idea to pass where your target is going, but instead pass where your target can get first.
Did you actually play Deathball O_o?

Apparently I should have been more specific with my first post.
As you can see it says "Some features", because I didn't want to spend my whole day listing ALL features - I thought that people try it before they judge it. Bloodball basically changes everything in Deathball so it's also impossible to give you a picture.
Idea of whole mutator was to make gameplay more smoother by removing exceptions from gameplay and make Deathball more challenging. I.e. "Easy to learn but hard to master". It's no way "DB with no skill".
