Probably something an Admin would have to generate, but start people in one area or building and have them race to another area. (i.e. hacker Valley North to Coastal Resource, or whatever they wanna do.) Everyone starts out naked, but a short distance away there could be some supply crates that you could run to to get basic weapons (pipe shotties, pickaxes, that way no one just grabs an m4 and then bails on the race just to get a free gun, worst case they get a basic/already craftable gun and bail, but if they're really that desperate for a starter weapon they can't be that much of a threat, amiright?)
I think it'd be intense racing for that area, having the freedom to choose different paths to try and get there faster, the challenge of stopping others from moving forward while keeping yourself moving forward as well.
Thoughts?

Could be fun, but would be hard to control... If someone dies I'd assume that means they'd be out since they'd respawn at their camp or randomly and who knows if they'd be closer or further from the finish line.
So I think it would just turn into a deathmatch, whoever kills everyone else wins the race no matter what.
That's just my first thought though... took me a while to figure out a good set of rules for deathmatches that didn't allow for cheap tricks or exploits like this. Would still be fun to try and rewards people for having a decent understanding of the map.

Nice idea. Get a load of sleeping bags together for the starting line. People would have to respawn there in order to compete and have nothing to begin with, or maybe some chicken if you're feeling generous. Then pick a finish line location, like the top of a tower on the other side of the map. Then you just leave it up to the players how much time they want to spend fighting vs. getting supplies and actually running the race.
The prize could be at the top of the tower, and the winner would have to defend their loot all the way back to their own base.
Admin would be needed to announce it, but other than that no mods would be required - just people who are up for it.
Good way for new players to explore the map also.
