Ummm title says it all really.

What is it...is it in current versions....if so where....and why can I not seem to find it in the docs.

If its not in the curent version... why not !! :P It sounds really kool.

Umm this is an annoying question but I'm gonna ask anyway. Whens the next version?

Hey what about some secondary ammo for the CUTTER. I love that gun but I think it needs an AWO or secondary ammo. Maybe some kind of homing disc... ooh ooh how about a charge up that can send a disc right through someone....perhaps even a couple of ppl :wink:


Yeh anyway

laterz

hoverboard IS awesome for a lot of reasons
first off, you can fire the weapon you're holding
second, if you manage to look up in the sky while on it you can press jump and it boosts you so you can fly
third, it's so fast you can go right through Grav Vortexes and have nothing happen to you :D

oh yeah and it appears in some vCTF maps, or you can download the all vehicle arena mutator from here...

Cool I cant wait....what did you think of the extra cutter functions.....not as good as some of the suggestions I know but still...worth thinking about?

I was wanting Cutter blades to go through straight through guys if you manage to remove one of their limbs (or head).

Also, I dislike the alt-fire with the fragments. I would prefer it if it fires a blade normally, except sideways. Since it doesn't fly like a frisbee anymore, it would be affected by gravity and bounce up and down.

Idea:
Change Ammo Key: Switch between exploding(UT99) alt fire and fragment(current) alt fire
AWO: The bounce up&down thing at normal fire + go-thru-body-if-limb's-off at alt fire. If it fails to go thru it would just do kaboom in explosion or fragments.

Hey thats some good ideas. I think the CUTTER should get a revamp. I mean eveything else has.

The cutter idea sounds pretty neat. We have often thought about something else for that just not sure what....


However the hoverboard idea as it stood got scraped. We ran into just a lot of limitations trying to use the players weapons while they controlled the hoverboard. So we went back to the drawing board. What we think is the plan is to use the hoverboard but give it some sort of weapon. That way we get around all of the issues that we had with the old version and yet get something that is pretty fun to use...more details when we have them..

Heheh I came up with a good idea :D

Yeh I played with the hoverboard on Torlan... it crashed to easily and was difficult to hit anything with it.... I want to play a LAN match with a mate but I don't know anyone else with it in my area..... grr I think it would be s much fun playing with vehicles and the grapple hook....

That hook was a class idea. Its really well done...but another good idea would be to make it so its easyto let the line out. That way you could kind of absail.

How about you re-vamp the hoverboard so that it has Scorpion style blades or something?

Hoverboard primary fire=minigun(sorta alt fire normal mini with speed of primary fire)

alt fire=Non-moving anti-vehicle mines. Mabye also hovering?

Good idea there Tim..... Im liking those mines :P could have some fun with those.

This is slightly off topic but an Interesting mod idea for a muck about on a bot match could be one that you can freeze time. Sure this would be really unfair but could prove for some interesting results.

Imagine this. Crossbow. Mortal enemy frozen. Any bolts you fire also frozen . You could line up a whole circle of them, restart time and BAM all those head shots on one person. I got this idea from one of those bullet time mods. It was great just dodging rockets and firing back with a clean head shot from the CUTTER.

I love the homing blades idea.

Yeah homing would be cool. It really isnt a long range weapon....but there is so much satisfaction when you can hit a headshot on sommat the size of an ant (on screen of course)
