Sheridan - Streak recovery?

[Wheet]

Jager and I thought it might be a good idea to add something in to benefit the current streak holder a bit. Possibly every 50 kills or so something like a 'recover' command that you would get 1 of per 50 streak kills until you die. Another idea would be to add 50 to your max health/armour. Or add a quad/invuln to inventory that way you wouldn't need any extra bind. Any ideas?

I believe this is a good idea. It's not *always* easy to get a streak going. Especially for some players. Every 50 kills in a row sounds solid. Of course once you die the benefits will be wiped.

This also helps out for when you're getting gang banged by a few good players at a time. Good players know who is who and if your streaking of course their goal is to kill you. It's often difficult to stay alive with 4-5 players all attacking you at once.

Like alot of other games, if you're winning you get special benefits. (ie. the card game asshole, when you are the president you get to swap cards with the asshole. they must give you their two best cards)

I believe there was a q2 mod (predator or something?) where one person was the target for everyone to try and kill. Of course the predator had special abilities others didn't which enabled them to live longer. This is the same idea. You get 50 kills in a row you get something to help you live even longer. You get up to 100 kills in a row you are rewarded again and so on...

Good idea to me!

If the streak holder is going to get a power boost, I think they should definitely glow...

Sounds fun, but I recommend caution.  Fully loaded, a top player is difficult for all but other top players to topple.

Also, it would be nice to avoid another alias/bind.  I find myself frequently  explaining spinkick.

Besides the glow, we could even have a health bar for the leader on the hud for all players to see...  it would be like playing a "boss".

I think that's the one? Pretty much what I was explaining.

Maybe make it based off the number of players on the server? So if there is more then 6 players then enable the streak benefits.

It might be fun to have some boss thing for a person that hits a 50 streak. Turn them into a boss and give them an everlasting quad damage plus a higher max on everything. Maybe make the BFG style lasers shoot out of him if you get close to him so that it damages everyone within a small radius as the BFG does. I don't know, I think I may have went a little too far there.  This would be real fun if there were a whole load of people playing at once. Adding the boss health to the hud wouldn't be a problem either.

oven mitt!!!  I worked arbys for years   

When the Oven Mitt style oven mitts came in,  they kept the box in the backroom.

Wouldnt you know it,  take every employee in the place,  times it by 2,  and thats
how many came up missing    

 Right b4 there was a recall,  they melted at just around 400 degrees a lil bit.

 

Maybe the streakholder..  hmm drawing a blank. I think the quads a bad idea though.

Maybe the streakholder..

..and turn the current 50 point streak holder into a hi-res chuck norris model, shake the screen for all players, and have an announcement.. "Chuck Norris Lives".   Then send a prerecorded wav file to Dukie stating that Chuck Norris requests his time on Sheridan.
