New Classes

I like the robot idea.. but why not take it to the next level and have mech-type creatures that sit in your base, and you have to log in to a console (like the consoles in ut2004) to use them.

Only thing is your body is visible at the console and you can be shot, the mechs take up energy, and you need to have so much energy to power them.

The mechs could do stuff like repair vehicles and deployables, and have a little pea-shooter type gun, and the abililty to swat at people and send them flying

Actually, quite a nice idea, but I still vote for keeping stuff the same at first.

Well you could make the Drakk Laser secondary a melee range ability. It basically made this short range cutting beam, but turn it into a melee range light sabre for all I care It's too powerful in its Unreal2 form anyway.

no ****, when i said that a melee weapon in the form of a saber could be a good idea i got flames all over the place
i mean
you can't kill a dude with supply packs
it happens to me very often that i run out of ammo and just wished for a bat or chainsaw to get them up close
+
it would be a good def weapon for a ranger vs the flamethrower of a gunner


about the robot and mech ideas
go play mechwarrior instead of xmp
nuff robot action for all you're needs

Dont change anything!!!

I still like the idea of some kind of Melee weapon. I mean, come on, that been an Unreal game staple since UT99 at least and even Unreal 1 if you count the Skaarj.

Personally, I would have liked to see XMP Skaarj vs. Humans. Would have rocked. Plus, if the Skaarj had melee attacks and could run a tad faster using just their claws? Weeeeeeeee......

that's just it, this isn't an Unreal game. this is XMP. 2 different games, same engine.

it would be a nice to have a melee weapon in some sort of a mutator for specific pub games, it would be blasphemy for official games and i'm the first to start a war if anything changes to the gameplay dynamics but mutators can be fun, just not mech mutators.

I personally don't understand what's wrong with them taking a little creative license if it ends up making the game enjoyable either way in the end. After all, it's the gametype and some little things that make XMP, not every specific little detail. If Legend had got their wish you would have a gametype with Skaarj versus Humans, female models, and who knows what else.

But whatever I'll play it no matter what.

Everyone keeps talking about changing XMP to whatever. How about focusing on just working on the way XMP is now before getting to far ahead.

I concure, but if u are goin to entertain the idea, get the classic gametype bug free, then create custom one, because i know i would love the classic u2xmp style gametype :-D

lol, um, protect rangers from gunner flamethrowers? As far as I am concerned the flame thrower should suck in rangers in the area and burn them to a crisp for all the advantages rangers have over them.

I would love to see a "Thief" class whose primary advantages are running super fast, cloaking/invisibility, ability to sneak into cracks/mapholes easier, and not ever showing up on radar with an artifact. Not sure what the weapons would be... definitely some sort of enhanced super smoke gun for smoke cover. The thief would prob have even crappier armor than the ranger.
