Steriods
« on: July 13, 2006, 01:05:34 pm »
Hm just really quickly thinking, there should be a powerup like where you can move at quicker than normal rate and jump higher/farther. BUT the big problem about this the anti-hack methods that are trying to be put into use will counter-act this powerup... if somehow they are put into circulation, it should be called steriods haha...

I think this is an OK idea. It'd help dodge M79 grenades.
This might create a few minor problems in CTF and INF games with noobs/newbs and people that are used the the movement in Soldat and can go pretty fast ("ogm he is a haxr he is doin the striods chate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 unlimited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1")...

Then again, I have never seen a CTF/INF server use power-ups.

The idea sounds good.

O how that made me smile.

My main problem with this is the fact that it would probably make map-makers jobs much harder, they would have to compensate because parts of maps that were previously unaccesable may then not be.

The map-makers could not put Steroid spawns on their maps. Problem solved for that?

Sounds OK as long as they are extremely rare and are optional.

That would make the most sense.
Its' the same thing with people on cocain, like in the movie ScarFace. They can be shot like 10 times and still be walking and fighting.

I think it's a great idea. But I would limit to half/quarter the jet capacity.
Running at the ground it would be much more fun.

I don't like it since it'd rid everyone of the easiest way to identify a hacker -- people who do move faster, jump higher, etc. If such a bonus were made, it'd have to be announced like Predator and Beserker.

To be honest, I've never seen a hacker that doesn't move REALLY fast around the screen. I don't think such a powerup would get in the way of identifying hackers, as it probably wouldn't be such a huge increase in speed. Plus, you could add something nifty to see it, like making them glow bright yellow or something.

There is still the automatic hacker detection problem, though.

All in all, I like the idea, though I doubt I would go out of my way to pick it up in a game.

Yes, but bein able to be speedy with the flag might help alot. I wont argue though, I have had many positive results. Thanks guys!

What do you think powerups are for? The whole point is that they help you. Just as long as it's not TOO much help, I don't see any problems with it.
