What is RTCW "Challenge mode".

RTCW Challenge mode is a "new" play style to play RTCW usually limiting your arsenal to only specific weapons. The "challenge mode" is an imaginary thing so you make one yourselves (that includes setting up the rules). The main idea is just to test yourself (and the game) and discover new awesome things . This challenge mode thing could fit in coop games too!

Challenge modes(so far)

"Mauser only" challenge

The first challenge that came up to my mind. Mauser rifle can be a very versatile weapon because it has high damage(when scoped) and is very accurate thus saving you ammunition. This gave me the idea that would it be possible to clear the game using only mauser...

Rules

>Allowed weapons: Mauser rifle(Sniper scope), knife, your foot for kicking ass .
>You are allowed to fire all weapons but damaging enemies with non-allowed weapons is prohibited. So distracting enemies with noise is allowed.
>Snooper rifle can be allowed if stealthy missions proves to be impossible(killing sniper in the window silently in village2).

Helpful tips

>Stealth is your best friend here so try to maximize your knife kills.
>Kill the undead with melee(knife+kick combo).
>Xlabs mission is probably the most difficult one here so try to use the electric barriers to your advantage.
>Headshots do double damage even against the super soldiers!
>You get a random number of ammunition from weapon pickups, between 4-9 rounds. Saving before picking up a weapon can give you more ammunition.
>Console version note: In the Africa missions your ammunition is really scarce so be conservative.

"9mm Grenade" challenge

Another challenge that I wanted to test but I find the mauser challenge better.

Rules

>Allowed weapons: Knife, Kick, Luger(SP5 Pistol), Sten, (Grenade(stick), Grenade(Pineapple))*.
>Other rules are the same as in Mauser challenge.
>Note: MP40 is not allowed but that's not a big thing really .

Grenades might not be needed but xlabs mission proved to be too hard for Sten so I added grenades. Heinrich can be troublesome too.*

Nahhh...you won't need my tips here
