Ideas for Grappling Hook???

Haven't seen a post on these ideas yet, but a couple of things me a my buddies were discussing about the hook that might be cool.

1. The grappling hook when hooked on something can be broken free by a direct hit from opponent.

2. When a vortex is launched, any nearby deployment of the grappling hook will have the hook end pulled into the vortex, similar to how the translocator, for example, does now.

Thoughts?

1. We are 'working' on that one.

2. It does get pulled in.. some of use have seen it fire in front of us, only to get pulled back into the vortex with us...

Keep the ideas flowing

Also if you use fly mode and fire a hook directy into the vortex it will sometimes pull one of those gravity slingshots and come flying back at you.

I had a feeling that the vortex did have some pull on the hook, I'll have to play around with it more. Any chance of increasing the power on that? My buddies are still able to grapple away from a well placed vortex. Be nice to settle their hash properly.

I'll have to try that slingshot thing, sounds cool.

BTW, M-M-M-Monster kudos on a well designed and very creative followup to the original. Best mod EVER!

How about the grapple being able to grab people , this shouldnt be too much of a gameplay killer , as you normally have to have extremely good aim to hit anyone more than 10ft away with your hook, sry if this idea is alittle lame , but the mental image of pulling someone over a cliff ...

Also heres a question , are there any plans to make the grapple bend realistically , like the ninjarope mutator does??

Well, I feel it's best if there is some chance some times for escape. The vortex launcher is pretty visible in somebody's hands, and the sound from the bounce of the sphere (usually alt fire), etc.

Sounds to me like it's possible your buddies are just getting the 'swing' of things, and also might just be on to your vortex habits.

Maybe you might need to mix it up a bit on them.

And thanks!

I have one that could fix the bot problems, here gos.........

make it more like the translocator in that it's part of a louncher that shoots it there. Now heres the cool part when it hits a wall and or object it clamps on but the user has to hit the 2nd fire button to trackter him/her self over to it. Just think it would work better.

I wonder, if you grapple-kill yourself by using the vortex slingshot effect, what's the death message say?

It's no easy feat to kill yourself that way.
