Nice map tested it with you! :P
Also put up some screenshots from ingame gameplay.

Aha yea good idea, I'll need to play a few game first then :p

I still think you should change the minimap! :/

I personally think it would be best if you add vehicles. (testing it now, I know I loved the original)

EDIT: It's amazing! But it could use more maps and such. For example:

Guns: You could use some more weapons

Grappling hook- will pull units towards you to pull them into cliffs and can be used to maneuver you across the map.

Rifle- would be like the sniper except less damage, shorter range, and faster reload.

Grenade launcher- Will launch grenades at low angles and fast speeds

Rocket launcher- I've always wondered where the rocket launcher was in ET

Game modes: The worst thing about ET1 is that there is only capture the flag, please try to not follow these footsteps. Try to add different game modes

Slayer- First team to acquire so many points

Eliminator- Would be a FFA where there is only one gun that is a one hit kill

These are just examples of some things you could add to the game. But above adding all those things, you should add some Unreal tournament like vehicles. That would be cool.

I'll help or test if you ever need it.

I always loved that preview pic.
In the future thou perhaps a new one, but it will have to be a very good one :p

Heh, well maybe someday. Perhaps the steam tank or something.

- Grappling Hook could be interesting, but perhaps a little awkward.
- For rifle, theres the Phase Pistol, it has a low range & low cooldown, try it out.
- Grenade Launcher, well in future versions each gun may get a secondary/alternative fire, so a launch grenade could go nicely on the Shrapnel Gun.
- Rocket Launcher, yes I'm keen on adding one but need some ideas on how it would work & what woudl make it unique.

Yea I've added a Team Deathmatch Arena in next ver. Gave it a few tests already.
It works out quite well but is a little boring, so I'm hoping to add a little extra to make it more appealing.

You should make some powerfull weapon which does after damage if you hit the unit or some lightning gun which slows/stuns/purges.

Adding vehicles in a good way would be hard.

I dont think there should be any games like deathmatch or ffa generally, theres really no meaning in mindless killing which doesnt require much strategy at all.
It would also end up with alot of camping and kill stealing, like some guys battling at middle then some sniper guy shoots both of em since they are on low hp.
I think you should stick to special team games like CTF, control points, assault or something funny team based which requires a little of strategy.


I got an idea for making gameplay a little unique.
I dont know if you removed the level thingy or not, but heres a little different idea of using hero levels.
For every level you gain (meaning 2-3 kills for each level) you will walk slower and slower, but you will have increased bounty from the kills by each level.
For poeple who wouldnt want this could turn it on/off at start.

Well.. you could make a mode like VIP where each team has 1 VIP that can't attack and has 200 health and the goal is to be the first team to kill the opponent vip (they can be moved)

Besides the bug report I gave on the helper (Daskunk) it seemed OK. Haven't gotten good a chance to play it becuas of that bug, though.

Yea, I've been testing TDM mode online a bit, it is fairly boring :/
I'm hoping to add something in there to make it alittle more exciting & ofcourse open to suggestions!

Not to sure about that, but there could be a survivor/overrun mode.

How it works:
- Each player gets 1 life, the teams fight it out until 1 team is dead, then a new round starts.
- Ofcourse there would be say a 2min time limit per round, so if
- At end of each round each team gains 1 point per ppl who is still alive
- After X rounds, team with most points wins the game.

Pretty simple, focuses strongly on teamwork & co-operation & goes slightly beyond mindless killing & the main objective is to survive.

Thoughts?

yea thx for the bug report, its fixed in next ver.

1 mode that i often enjoy in games is Zone Control.
Put like 5 "Zones" around the map and whenever a unit stays near it for 3 seconds it will turn to his teams color. For each second passing the teams will get points equal to numbeer of zones conquered. First to 500 points wins!
(number of points were just randomly made up, that may require some work)

Anyway this is a nice teamwork mode that is not based on mindless killing but more "tactical killing"

Or maybe a Control Point type game mode, like in Team Fortress 2. So there are about 5 points: 1 for each team (2 teams) and 3 neutral points and you cant capture the other team's point untill your team controlls all the 3 neutral points. The game is over when one team has all points.

Ok new version released:

  - Death messages are now displayed correctly when blown off the edge of a cliff/side by a Shotgun.
  - Gloves now work properly with Acid Gun/Shrapnel Gun.
  - Can now booster out of Lava without taking damage.

I think you should add the aftertime thingy before the win/defeat window pops up so you got time to talk about the match, no need for scoreboard but the time after the game would be nice.

Yea I'll add that in next ver, along with a 2nd round/rematch & a -rebalance command.
