Anybody want to beta-test a mod?

I have completed the beta version of a Blood Gulch mod. Anyone want to test? If so I'll zip it up and you can download it from my site. Features (quick overview):
1. Basic concept is a lunar/super mod. It takes place on something like the moon, and everything is comically exaggerated.
2. BG has been reskinned (texture-swapped) incl. the sky and ambient sound to approximate a moon surface-environment. Moderate superjumping is part of the package.
3. Weapons are changed in enormous ways. Rocket launcher has only two shots but does gigantic crapload of damage (refer to the Monoxide C video on the front page for an idea of what it does - only more so). Pistol is a "force gun" that blasts opponents off their feet, vehicles away from you. Assault rifle fires homing fuel rod shots that do little damage but shake your opponents half to death for maximum disoreintation. Grenades are semi-nuclear devices. Plasma rifles now fire much more effective needles. Etc.
4. Vehicles are altered. Mainly banshees are slower, fire the above-mentioned nuclear rockets from their secondary weapon, and ghosts are much faster for catapulting across the map. Gravity effect lessened on all vehicles. Major explosions will send them flying into the air. Collisions with vehicles are usually not fatal, as well.
5. Damage on nearly everything is reduced so that the massive explosions going on around you won't kill you instantly.
b/c of a particle effect I imported, this can't be ppf'ed; the DL is roughly a 5 meg map.

I know it's ridiculous, I wanted that to be a weapon that when fired is expected to hurt basically everyone. Unless you hide in a base or something (then it becomes part of the strategy).
