Art of Ascension is a Half Life 2: Deathmatch mod that turns it into something like an RPG, or maybe an MMORPG
Basically, everytime you get a kill you get some exp, and once you have enough you level up, and you get 7 attribute points and 5 weapon points. You spend weapon points on weapons to make them more powerful, and you spend attribute points on attribute scores to unlock special abilites and such.
Three warnings about it though. Firstly, the initial levels can be really hard, but it only gets easier. Second, right now they're having server problems with the new version so there aren't any servers up very often, this is being fixed. Lastly, its still in alpha, so there are bugs, but not many serious ones and the game still freaking rocks.

hmm... maybe this is an ideal time to go out and buy half-life 2 They'll be releasing a game of the year edition or some such thing soon. If it tickles your fancy, you may want to wait, but it's really just a bunch of bells and whistles.

sorry about the double post here but i want this to be new because if anyone is interested they won't see it with just an edit
AoA servers are now up, there was a backwards compatability issue with a new version, and it has been fixed
edit: and they're down again -_-
well, the people hosting the servers have the fix, i'm not sure why they haven't applied it yet but whatever, they'll be up shortly
edit2: ok steam says they're down, xfire says they're up, wtf...
edit3: i'm currently making maps for AoA, so if anyone joins, you can playtest my maps or something spiffy
