Freeze Tag 1.51b
for Quake3 1.30
by Darrell "Doolittle" Bircsak


Freeze Tag is a teamplay modification for Quake3 and Team Arena.  It is a lot like that game you may have played as a kid, but without the killing.  In Freeze Tag you try to eliminate the entire enemy team.  If you kill someone then they will become frozen.  So to eliminate all, you'd need to freeze everyone, making them all frozen at the same time.  This will give your team a point and the round will start over again.  If you are ever frozen, a teammate can come rescue you by standing next to your icy body for three seconds.  You'll then be set free and can join the battle again.

	Kill the enemy to freeze them
	Stand by a teammate for three seconds to unthaw them
	Freeze the entire enemy team to win
	Shoot an enemy opponent to "get their attention" and taunt
	Watch your back, patrol as a group
	Set traps, guard frozen enemy bodies
	While you camp your team may be getting slaughtered so make sure to save them
	You are a good player if you thaw more than one teammate at a time
	You are a great player if you are the last person alive and you perform a miraculous comeback, take out the other team and revive your teammates
	You are strategic if you only concentrate on thawing teammates; this kind of activity usually keeps a team alive
	You understand all things if you can balance this with killing the other team
	You are sneaky if you wait for enemies to come thaw their guys and then attack from the shadows
	You are fun to play with if you don't shoot the author
