This plugin adds new gamemodes to arenas: BombArena (Sabotage) & SndArena (Search-N-Destroy). Both arenas involve Explosive Ordnance: Planting & Defusing bombs.

Demolition

this word describes a group of construction workers who demolish a building.
it's also the name of the project on github
https://github.com/Europia79/Demolition

Sabotage - BombArena

there is one bomb in the middle of the map.
there are two teams (each with their own base).
the objective is to destroy the other teams base.
or pevent your own base from behing destroyed by defusing the bomb.
use the /bomb cmd to join/create arenas.

Search-N-Destroy - SndArena

there are two teams: attackers & defenders.
the team closest to the bomb is designated as the attacking team.
the defenders cannot pickup the bomb.
Attackers can win by picking up the bomb and destroying an objective.
Defenders can win by defusing the bomb or letting time expire.
use the /snd cmd to join/create arenas.

So, what is so great about having alternate game-modes, like Demolition, CTF, Conquest, Extraction ? Well, they're fun and they add interesting new elements of game play. Each one with their own strategies involved. For example, let's consider an 8v8 where it's down to 1 person left on the other team. That last person cannot simple run and hide in order to gain a tie, because you can simple get the bomb and plant it.

What's cool is that if you see someone about to plant the bomb at your base, then there are a variety of ways to handle it: You can take a more defensive, conservative approach and simply kill the bomb carrier before he's able to plant the bomb (so that your team doesn't lose); Or you can take a more risky approach, and go for the win right then and there by letting him plant the bomb, then you can attempt to defuse it.

It takes about 7 seconds to plant the bomb, which starts a 30-45 second detonation timer (plently of time to leave the killzone before it explodes, but also plently of time for the other team to get back to their base and attempt to defuse the bomb). Finally, it takes about 7 seconds to defuse the bomb.
