ChaosDOM

Will you guys do a version of Domination? If so how far down is it in the priority list?

[TKATK]

if they do,i hope it will be a DOM remake,not DDOM

[FurrySound]

At this point it's soo far down the list, that it's falllen off the page... and we have a big page. Seriously, we don't have any plans to do anything specifically for DOM/DDOM...

[LoQtUS]

We have so mutch on the Dev list that it will keep us working until we can get our Hands on UE3 LOL

What did you guys want, just Melee in DDOM?

[General_Sun]

I want melee in everything except CTF.

Me too i think with a small map it just may work in CTF too. just thoughts:)


The coders tell me that it would mean that we would have to Duplicate all of the game types to get it to work properly. Not a bad idea in itsself, but we would have to leave most of the compatability at the door if we do that. Jb please correct me if i am wrong.

[General_Sun]

Is there a possibility of this making it into the next patch? Or the one after that?

Jb please correct me if i am wrong.

In the case of adding melees to standard game types is not that type of compatibility issue. We have been talking about soo many issues its easy to get them mixed up.

THB its a cut and paste think to make these gametypes that support melee. The Question is does it add any value. We orginally only wanted to add a Chaos version of a gametype when we added something more to it than Melee. DM is an example where we have added Medals. I know kind of week, but its a start. The idea was to add more new stuff to our versions of the gametype to make them worth while to be on their own...Maybe like a slomo matching winning kill cam? Real Spectator cameras, ect. Stuff like taht.... Not sure if we can get this in. If we do this, then I think we should consider removing the normal gametypes from our menu????

well,i thought some less subtle changes,like UT syle dom

[ChaosJester]

What I wanted to see was not just UT-style dom or 2kX-style DDOM but options to use either, and include features like melee and possibly user-set DOM points to keep matches more varied and interesting. Those would help keep maps more interesting than the 2 corridor with middle arena for "action" type that seems to be the most common. Also if the gametype was tweaked to add the ability to control which points are active at a time ala ONS and KOTH so that multiple points exist but are not necessarily used at the same time would add a element of strategy ie adding the question should I defend what I have and let the rest go less defended or should I anticipate a location change and wander a bit? That is something that will make the action of two good strategy gametypes a bit more strategic. Also why not expand the awards to other gametypes?

I would like to see DOM types not get neglected like they have. There are a group of mappers making a mappack for the 2k4 DOM gametype and that made me think of the cool stuff you Chaos guys could do with DOM.

[edit] Actually your system of adding things to the standard gametypes to make them cooler is what made me ask. I love your work and just wanted to know roughly if I would get to see DOM get the Chaos Treatment before 2007. I am a fan of the quirky gametype.{/edit]

Well there already is a Classic Domination mode that was a mutator. I believe there's a map pack centering around producing content for that and DDOM, so UT DOM isn't completely gone.

[ChaosJester]

Where do you think I got the idea to ask? I want to see more DOM in general though, but escpecially Chaotic DOM maps so I don't have to cycle weaps to get them all.
