Playing the Spy in INF

You find a corpse and can "switch" camos with the corpse. Of course this would take some time, enough time to make this undesirable in most situations. (for example this would not be a useful thing in a map like MWH) When you "switch" teams you will still be listed on the player list under your origional team. But your name and camo will show up to other players as if you are on the new team.

Of course this is a powerful thing, but again, the time it would take to switch clothes would make it useless in many situations. You could counter this by knowing who is on your team and gunning corpses till they disappear.

In a deathmatch game this is almost useless, but in a team game like CTF or ASSULT i think this would be a neat little thing to mess with.


And that is all the monkey told me...

Well, as to the team kill thing, if you are really playing with a "team" they will know you are a spy because you would have told them so.. "Hey guys i'm a spy, don't shoot me. I'l be *gives coordinates of position and where you are going to be*" TK as a spy isn't even an issue. And as a spy you would still communicate with your orginal team, so you could report to em if you'd like.

And for the bloodstains.. Advantage to knowing how to aim in inf is to kill a guy with a headshot. No blood on the cloths. Now i know not many people can do that, so you would put on bloody cloths. New textures would have to be made for a "blood stained" version of the camo. So if you don't kill em good then you really aren't gunna wanna run around in blood soaked cloths. And if you shoot em in torso, the pants are still good. And vise versa.

Maybe you could have a "corpse option" thing where you could choose what to take from the body. I know they are doing some kinda inventory thing. Among the inventory items you could take their pants or shirt... Depending on which one is good, or both. That would be funny to me, to see a guy running around in one teams shirt and the others pants.... Would you shoot em in the appropriate area as to what team you are on? or just fall out of your chair laughing?

Anywho

I don't think it really fits in with the scope of the game to switch camos and play a spy.
Uniforms are only an extension of different traits of two opposing forces (like language and physical characteristics).

In a team game a "spy" type person fits very well i think. You send in a spy to infiltrate the defense and find out what they are doing/stop what they are doing. A spy could give away enemy position ect... And if i am correct, the game is going more towards a "team" aspect, with the new gametypes and all. If that is what you ment by the "scope of the game", a spy would be a very useful thing in infiltration. Unless it is never gunna change from deathmatch.

I even used the name of the game to describe what a spy would do it has to fit!


Although, i am a cow, and i support the very unpopular opinion, i am prob just blabing crap.

*calls for gun boy and leaves the room*

Oh and Gabriel, when i say team, i mean communication. A team can't exist without communication, so if you are really playing a team game, you would never tk your friend poping up around a corner. That is a serious lack of communication

you can't communicate via typing in inf, it is too much to do at once. You have to use some voice stuff, that is what i ment.

If you are constantly talking to your team, you won't pop around a corner like that. I'm not saying TK would never ever happen. I'm just saying that on the topic of a "spy" TK wouldn't be any more of an issue then it is now, if you are playing as a team.

Hell ya, if you put a spy into a DM game like we all play now, he is gunna get gunned down by his own team no prob...

But i'm talk'n the spy for diff game types, it wouldn't be used in a DM game.


mooooo

I might goto bed soon, i'm sleepy.

Take two teams, equal skill in players. One communicates via typing and the other via voice.

The team typing doesn't stand a chance. The team that is typing is less of a team because the level of communication isn't there.

Pretty simple concept, it happens to be more of a popular opinion among the ilcr..

Your 1 second of typing is all it takes for someone to shoot you dead. In your example, you would be hindered against someone using voice.

This isn't even an argument, there is no way communicating with typing could possibly contest talking.

I'm gunna goto bed now, I didn't think posting an idea for a game would cause a problem. I wish i could have done a closed topic. next time i'll just email straight to the team, avoid the forum bs.
