If mikade doesn't do it, I'd like to look into making highlander use the weapons enabled in the selected ammo, for more customisation.
I suspect a highlander tournament would require more rounds to declare a winner, and possibly a more restricted weapon set, both to try and control the high luck element.
The Specialists has basically no luck element apart from wind direction

I'd like to play a HL tournament too!
Some time ago I made two HL-Scripts for my own. A friend an me often play with them: "[b]Heavy Highlander[/b]" and "[b]Highlander Balanced[/b]". Maybe they are usefull for a tournament.
In both scripts is less luck given:
[b]Heavy Highlander[/b]: only strong weps, new utilities (vampirism, timebox etc), no kamikaze.
You can't have bad luck with weapons, cause nearly everything you get is usefull.
[b]Highlander Balanced[/b]: weak & strong things taken out, some reduced in strength.
You nearly can't kill directly (except kicking into water) with one weapon.
I'll upload and explain more when I got home from work.

(Nemo: There are many sports and competitions in the world where luck is a factor. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I think everyone knows and accepts this.
And people are pleased if they can say "I had bad luck" - and not to confess their bad performance... )
I'm also interested play a HL tournament.
Whatever. HL, HL 0.2, Heavy HL, HL balanced...
But I would cancel vampirism from Heavy HL coz sometimes we had hogs with 400 hp or more.
