Yeah its an introduction post. Woo hoo.
Not that anyone cares and I bet people have been fed up enough with me in the game.

I kinda vowed I would just stick to the game and wouldn't even bother touching the Forums considering how braindead the chat culture is in the game (which also probably accounts for 20% of my deaths).

But I just didnt think it was fair for Gazza to be here on the forum and I wasn't here to balance it out.

Flail!

Keep me posted on those sound paks man

Sound Paks
Haha THERS they're pretty much maxed out. The only difference I could make at this point is changing the hand grenade bounce to equal the grenade launcher one (which I admittedly borrowed from quake 4).

At this point ive been fiddling with the high-res weapon skins to make the guns look more interesting, different colors and such.
And well I also did replace the 3d model for the Grenade Launcher Projectile to equal the Hand Grenade one.
And I replaced the blaster projectile.

Railgun
Actually the Railgun came from the movie Eraser with ahhhnold (it came out in 1996).
They stole the fact that the gun shoots through things and even stole the railgun-trail effect (as well as they could replicate it).

I bet they were looking for a good replacement for the Lightning Gun from Quake 1 and that was the ticket.
Its like saying Windows wasn't copying off Macintosh.
Without that inspiration it would probably just be a sniper rifle, like a high tech version of a .50cal.


The only thing they didn't copy was the x-ray scope - which im pretty sure they would have realized immediately would be unbalancing and possibly problematic to implement at that time. The fact that the gun doesnt shoot through scenery, or dead corpses, was probably an obvious balancing factor.


It should be mentioned also that the Railgun actually does 150 damage in single player... and campaign mode is the basis for this game.
So it didn't have to do 100 damage in deathmatch.
They could have made it do 99... because that'll take out a fresh player who got hit with a stray bullet or fell far enough to get hurt.

But they didnt want the weapons in the game to be balanced even in deathmatch.
They wanted the rocket launcher and railgun to be the kings of the kill.
They even dumbed down the Chaingun for deathmatch.

Balanced means Balanced, not Tiered. Basically anyone who knows anything about this game... is racing from the word go to find the Railgun or the Rocket Launcher and that's it - they don't care about any other weapons. IMO that's bad planning and design.


In UT2004 I loved globbing people with the Bio Rifle, even only as weapon #3 a charged up shot does 400 damage, and people can even step on it. And there are lots of people who love to get their hands on a Shock Rifle... which is only weapon #4.

The only weapons in that game which are inferior are the ones you start with. And even if you were to consider the basic Unreal Tournament, which is more in the same time period as Quake 2... this is basically the way it was. Those people were geniuses.
I never played the first Unreal game... but it predated UT even more and UT's weapons are basically just hand-me-downs from Unreal.

Why don't you just leave
The fact I cant play any other good FPS games was the driving force in me dusting off Quake 2 in the first place.
That situation hasn't changed.
So for example if I got a cute little $300 Netbook... or a PS3... you would see me jumping ship pretty fast.

Though I disagree about COD and/or MW - I do not like first person shooters that don't have sci-fi elements (ie strictly modern ones). Its not interesting enough for me.


Yeah why is Vae still here anyway?
Basically maxxed out your skills here, why don't you go after more meaningful pursuits?
Doesn't it get old after awhile?


I dunno, you might see me around here every once in awhile, just because of the BFG Nostalgia.
Im certainly not here to provide an extra body to gib, im not target practice.
