Ravir has released a gameplay conversion mod for Call of Duty, which addresses many of the known issues with the "Search and Destroy" mode, as well as adding some new gameplay features.
Overview:
The attackers must take explosive packs from their spawn point to marked objectives. The explosives must be planted and defended until they explode, destroying the objective. Similar to Search and Destroy.
Feature list (new features in bold):
Animated icon for bomb pickup (make sure they know they got the bomb). Bomb carrier marked in scoreboard. Optional automatic team balance. Optional bonus points for defending the bombs and bomb carriers Optional RESPAWN modes... in waves, or delayed individually. Utilizes Ravir's Little Admin Tools to allow the server to force one or all players to switch sides. No client download necessary. Supports all retail maps that support Search and Destroy. Attackers have 3 explosive packs near their spawn, which must be picked up and carried. Explosive packs are marked with a star on attacker's radar. When a bomb carrier is killed, the bomb is dropped, another attacker must pick it up. Defenders can disable bombs that are dropped on the ground, removing them from play. Round will not end while a bomb is ticking on an objective. Attackers can be required to destroy either 1 or both objectives, default is both. Defenders can win by defusing enough bombs that the attackers cannot finish the required objectives. Planting the bomb scores 1 bonus point for the planter. If it explodes, the player gets 2 more points. Defusing a bomb scores 3 bonus points for the defusing player. Bonus points are optional via server console variables. Text notifications naming the players and location for plants and defusals. Uses Clan iO's "g_iokillcam" and "g_ioteamspec" variables to allow optional killcam and team-only spectators.
Demolition v0.93

Includes the Clan iO "forceSpectator" thread to allow the server to restrict
spectators to teammates via the "g_iokillcam" and "g_ioteamspec" variables.
This will be removed when the CoD patch is released, as that option will
be implemented as part of the game.
NOTE: Requires Ravir's Little Admin Tools (included in distribution ZIP)
-------------------------------------------------------
Overview:
The attackers must take explosive packs from their spawn point to
marked objectives. The explosives must be planted and defended until
they explode, destroying the objective. Similar to Search and Destroy.
-------------------------------------------------------
Why it's different:
Instead of all attackers being able to plant bombs, there are three actual
packs located near the attacker's spawn point. These must be picked up by
players and carried. If the player dies, they drop the pack. If a defending
player locates a dropped pack, or sneaks around to the attacker's spawn point
and finds packs that have not been picked up, they can be defused on the spot,
rendering them useless.
The server can require the attackers to destroy one or both of the
objectives. If the defenders defuse too many of the packs for the attackers
to complete this requirement, the defenders win.
The round does NOT end if a bomb has been planted before time runs out, or
if a bomb has been planted, but all of the attackers are killed. The round
continues until the bomb has been defused, or has exploded.
Players get bonus points for completing objectives. By default, planting a
bomb scores 1 point. If the bomb is protected until it explodes, the player
that planted the bomb scores 2 more points. Players get a full 3 points for
defusing a bomb, whether it's on the ground, at it's spawn point, or on an
objective.
Players also get bonus points for defending the bomb and/or bomb carrier.
Text notification of bomb plants and defused, noting the player's name.
Set "g_iokillcam" to 0 to disable killcam, or "g_ioteamspec" to 1 to restrict
spectators to only viewing their teammates.
Players can respawn in waves, or individually.
Optional automatic team balance.
Server can make 1 or all players switch teams.
-------------------------------------------------------

mp_brecourt
mp_carentan
mp_dawnville
mp_depot
mp_harbor

Other maps can be made to support Demolition. First, the map must support
Search and Destroy, and all of the entities required therein. Next, the
following variables must be set in the levels script, for Demolition to
access in gameplay:
scr_dem_expack1origin Example: setcvar("scr_dem_expack1origin", (3000, -2000, 50)); // coordinates of the bomb's spawnpoint
scr_dem_expack1angles Example: setcvar("scr_dem_expack1angles", (0, 90, 5)); // rotation angles of the bomb model
scr_dem_expack2origin
scr_dem_expack2angles
scr_dem_expack3origin
scr_dem_expack3angles
scr_dem_bombzonea_maxdist //radius of area in which the bomb can be planted on bombzone_a
scr_dem_bombzonea_name //name of this zone, default is Target A
scr_dem_bombzoneb_maxdist
scr_dem_bombzoneb_name
scr_dem_requiredtargets //number of objectives which must be destroyed (1 or 2, default 2), can be changed during gameplay
scr_dem_plantbonus //bonus points for planting a bomb, default 1
scr_dem_bombbonus //bonus for bomb exploding, default 2

scr_dem_respawn // mode for respawn"
"none" (no respawning)

"player" (each player spawn x seconds after dying)
scr_dem_respawndelay // respawn delay in seconds
scr_teambalance // autobalance teams, 1 for yes, 0 for no
