Hi.
Since I've heared, that you're planning to add a hoverboard, I can't sleep that quickly, because of the great imagination riding on a hoverboard in UT2004! My question is very simple...
Is it going to be possible to use the grapplehook while using the hoverboard? That would be great, if you want to turn hardly!!
Chaos UT 2004 totally rulez!!! Thanks a lot to all of you, who work on it!

Yes... you can be 'towed' by a vehicle even

I think you missunderstood me. I want to ride on that hoverboard and use the grapplehook, while driving! Like Tarzan with a Skateboard under his feet.

Welcome to the forums DarkspY!
I think what Mr. FurrySound meant was that yes, you be able to use the hook while riding the Hoverboard.
But that
also you will be able to hook another vehicle with your grappling hook, while you are riding the Hoverboard, and be 'towed'.
And who know's what else you guys will figure out how to do when you get this stuff in-game.
Of course, that is stuff that we hope to make possible. Testing is underway. We'll see how it goes.

Thanks R.Flagg!
The Hoverboardgrappling sounds just to damn great to come true!
I can't wait to see the hoverboards physiks!!!
Do you know about
Unreal4Ever?
That's a great mod either, because they have a lot of funny ideas!

Oh yeah, we're familiar with that mod.
But keep in mind, sometimes stuff turns out to be harder to do than we hope, we'll see if it works out. Keep your fingers crossed.

Hey! I know that...
I'm already lucky, if I create a skin and it works...

Oh, you can bank on that. And then we'll back that up with some good old normal weapons madness shall we? Perhaps a little 2 on 2 or 3 on 3 TeamDM with the TOC and GoD? Oohhhh ya, I think so!
(I got my grapple back. You have been warned.

)
I can see it now: The rematch of the century! The Flagg versus The Plague! Get your tickets now!

The hoverboard thing sounds cool, I would like being towed around, it would be funny if the vehicle turned then u let go of the grapple hook and go flying into a wall and fall off or something.lol.

Don't forget the gun on top of the Goliath...

I sure we could think of a billion moves on the hover board if we can use grapple hooks, we would be unstopable.

The coolest one I can think of is skyboarding (if that is the name for it) behind a Raptor with a rocket launcher...

Many ideas for a hoverboard, I have.
1: Space surf! Zero gravity, everyone spawns on a platform with auto spawning hoverboards. when they come outside into space, the hoverboard becomes aerodynamic like a spaceship in the zero gravity. 'jumping' and pressing buttons in combinations or stunting over asteroids gives you daredevils. a daredevil score is how many points you have. reach (set limit) points and you be the best hoverboard rider!
