Players with Flamer explode when hit by sniper bullet
« on: May 27, 2007, 10:38:05 pm »
I would like to suggest that players with the Flamer bonus explode when their body is hit by a sniper bullet.

This can only be made possible if it meets the following requirements during gameplay:-

- Is in Realistic Mode
- Occurs after the Flame God mode is turned off
- Player is hit only in the body (headshots will not work)
- Player does not have bulletproof vest.
- Sniper must not be fired too far a distance (Sniper bullet loses velocity)

All comments welcomed.
Let me know what you think!   ;D

I think it's a good idea, but as far as I know there's no way to get the flamer or vest in realistic mode.

I support.

To make this better ...

The player, upon getting shot, bursts into flames for 3 seconds, then finally, explodes.
It's raining blood!

This should be good if there are other enemies nearby.
... or if you're sadist.

Yeah, if powerups are added into realistic, this is a must.

Who cares about Barrett, man? This would be awesome if Flamer-users exploded when just plain killed, and not just in Realistic. :D

In that case, we'll need to exclude this effect with melee weapons such as the chainsaw, knife, and the fist. Using those weapons to eliminate a Flamer-user could lead you to suicide.

Haha. I'm sure anyone who watched Saving Private Ryan knows how it looks like when it happens in reality.

This totally wouldn't fit vanilla mode. Realistic-Only, you pussies.

Hm, I think it should work with the knife and the chainsaw, but with fists it would be unrealistic.

I thought this was one of those awful 'balance change for the sake of realism' suggestions, but after actually reading the post, I support :)

oh, and-

WTF is vanilla? Last time I checked it was a very nice ice cream flavour.

Vanilla is a term  for original, non modded game. Games that have many modifications like Soldat, Half Life etc are often called vanilla.
Sytrus used the term wrong, because vanilla is being used for MODS/MODIFICATIONS not MODES.

Wrong. Within Soldat, it's a term for the normal mode.


If you think it isn't... well, now it is.
