Bruce's back 1.5 !!!

[Bruce Slater]

Peace guys!!!

Sorry that I wasn't here some days, because we've installed a DSL-Con-
nection (Yeah, it's true, I can surf and download with high-speed now!!!)
Because it was only a few days - I can say I wasn't in holidays - so that's
why I wrote "1.5" and not a sequel to my comeback ( ).
Unfortunately I hadn't enough time to edit my 5 next weapon ideas upon
this forum...
But while healing my brain damage with that strange EEG-machine
(supported and powered by this f**king Trident card ), I was hit
by a new and simple and original weapon idea!
I'm sure this time this idea you'll like!!! Listen!

I'm about to say a new and original ARROW for the crossbow!
The name is: Fire arrows (burning arrows are shot on the opponoment
are shot and do more damage than the stan-
dart arrows , that means 80 points)
(If you're hit, you should see an orange fire effect - similar to the
effect of the Fire-UG, and the tail color of the arrows should be orange)
(So far the arrow burns on your body you should lose health, like the
poison crossbow)
This idea is original , isn't it? (Or do you have this idea already )
Yeah and I have another idea! Here is it and again a new arrow type:

Magic arrows (arrows which'll, if they hit the enemy simply' decrease his
health about 80-90 points, the color or the tail of the ar-
rows should be dark-purple (= evil), and you're hit you
should see a dark-purple effect - similar to the green
screen effect if you're hit by the poison crossbow)

And the last one...

high-speed-arrows: These arrows are twice or quad so fast like the nor-
mal arrows. They can punch through any victim until
they hit a solid object like a wall. You can also think
about a smoke effect like the RPB-Sniper Rifle!
Damage points: 100 points (like the railgun in Q3A)

And here my next five (uncomplete) weapon ideas:

1.) High-Tech-Railgun
2.) Plasma-Launcher
3.) Sniper Rifle- series
4.) Rocket Launcher - Series
5.) Acid Gun

By the way - you can develop my new arrow ideas for CUT v1.1, too. That
would be nice!!!

And: Hey JB I'm waiting for your authorization request for ICQ!

Oh, I hate this trident card, I lost half my skills in UT !!!

That was all! Thank you guys and good night because I cannot write more
to you!!! Sleep well!



Thanks, Bruce!!!

Bruce,

I thought I hit authorize. Can you resend the request?

[R.Flagg]

Bruce, I'm asking here,

can you please stop using "f**king" in your posts?

It is not needed, you can say so many other things. And it offends some.

Please consider that would you? I for one would tend to finish more of your posts if you would.

[Gasman]

Yes, that would be nice if you didn't use those type of words. Thanks

[Bruce Slater]

So, excuse me again!

I must have had an outrage to write that - but I'm pissed by this card,
(you don't know how ugly and slow UT is with this card) - but OK, I'll stop
this kind of words - I promise - but NOW: Tell me! Are my new ideas
original and good???

[jb]

Bruce,

sorry we still did not meet on ICQ. One of these days we will

I think all your ideas have merit and good in their own way. Its just some of them don't fit what we want to do with Chaos.

The arrows is something we will have to think about it. They do offer something that may fit into Chaos.

The high tech rail gun is something we are already looking into

The sniper riffle stuff we may do or may not. We have to play around with the UT2k3 version and see what we think about it first.

The idea on the enforcer is a bit away from what we wanted to do with Chaos. Its not that we dont like the idea or its bad. Just does not fit well.
Dont feel bad about this. Lots of my ideas I dont think fit well so I did not even bother to bring them up. Other ideas we have had I dont think will make it either. Nothing against UT4E but we dont want that many weapons. We want higher quality weapons that offer more. So that usally means that we wont have as many. Trying to figure out what is good is hard. Trying to figure out what is good enough for Chaos is harder.


Finally please feel free to keep working on the list. You can always update it. But for now we are going to start with a set of weapons that we feel represents an evolution of ChaosUT. I can not say whats in right now as we dont now 100% for sure. We have set to start working on this set. And once we get them in a game we can see if they work. We may find that they dont work as planned or we may have to re-adjust our thinking once Ut2k3 is out. Its always hard to make concrete plans when the game is not done. But once we get these done then we can start on others.


Thanks again Bruce for your input. Its people like you that help make Chaos fun!!!

[Swift Viper]

Wow Bruce, you really have some good ideas . If we kept getting ideas like this, Chaos would become the best (even if it takes a long time to make). Question, will the CUT Weapons from UT be put in UT 2003?

BTW, did anyone read my last post in "CUT v1.1" thread? There were no replies and I really have good ideas in there.

[R.Flagg]

Yep Swift, you're right.

You were kind enough to take the time, so I have spent some time replying just now.

Stick around and help us with ideas for CUT2 I hope!
