Reminds me of the Grand Theft Auto San Andreas multiplayer mod from a few years back. A few fans in their spare time creating a multiplayer mod for a popular game that lacked it. It really makes you wonder, I understand some games don't have multiplayer due to the fact you not only need to find room in the budget to accommodate more development & testing time, you then also have to invest into the server infrastructure to support the game as well as implement some kind of anti-cheating functionality.
I think this modification is proof that even pointless multiplayer games that are essentially just deathmatch on a massive scale are popular and fun, longevity wise if this were a paid mod I'd expect many would get sick of the boring gameplay after a while.
Different game modes like; Racing mode, Team Deathmatch, Police and Bad Guys, Capture The Flag and good old fashioned single deathmatch. Will be interesting to see how they further improve this, I just went and bought the game because of this mod.

There is absolutely nothing to prevent speedhacks, wallhacks, aimbots, etc, all of the reasons that the big boys stopped doing it that way a decade ago.
