Indeedy, there has been some chatting in the ... er... chat room, and it was decided if enough talent can contribute top quality models and Chaos type stuff, we have the makings of a full Chaos crew.
Chaos is more than a bunch of weapons and pickups. Everything has a reason to exist or be the way it is. Each item has a story.
It needs modellers that understand why the various bits of the weapon do the thing they do, rather than just look cool (although looking cool always gets a thumbs-up).
Chaos is more about style over power. It is not about how many hit points, but about how brutal and evil you are.
We nearly had a Chaos UT3, but now it is time for another chapter with brand new models and resources.
Maybe you have ideas for stuff you feel was needing tweaking, or updated pickups or some crazy piece of devious weaponry, so evil that Liandri won't let you take it into the arena.
We already have the loved / hated proxy-mines, napalm grenades, poison arrows, bouncing bullets, and various melee weapons, and everybody's favourite hated weapon of doom or stupidity, the handy pocket-sized mini black-holes, the gravity vortex (hehe. far too many moments of "Oh...that wasn't clever...").
Those that have played the previous mods will be familiar with the high quality expected of anyone willing to step into the realm of Chaos, as people will be expecting to be blown-away with awesomeness.
Chaos is often a close up, blood-soaked affair so you get a good look at your assailant just before they take your head off.
The ideal response to "Tell us who killed you in an inappropriate way", is;
"Some cool looking freak from another dimension killed me with a crazy-assed weapon, that just made me sh*t my pants thinking about."
Amongst the ideas being thrown around for UT4, some are being discounted because they are a bit too much for the tournament, but not because they are poor ideas (though there are plenty of those to).
Maybe they are more suitable for Chaos ?
I know I would like to be able to stick a proxy on an enemy to use as a camera, so I can detonate at a more fun and chaotic moment
Oh what fun. imagine the jolly-japes.
"OK we're all here in the flag room.....dude...turn around..... umm you've got something .....RUUUUNNN !!"
There is a thread for people to add what they see Chaos as, or what it means to them.
Are you a bigger Chaos fan than me or Hermskii ?
Could you write a story set in the realm of Chaos that explains it, or simply sum it up in a few lines ?
Not many have contributed yet, but I included a post I started writing as an answer to someone in another section.
