perhaps new weapons?

[Radiosity]

Even if they made some minor changes to an old idea it would be welcome to me at least... 3 games later they can't come up with a different color for shock than purple? Variety is the spice of life.

How about yellow?

 

[[NBK]Rattman]

I hope they make the shock combo harder to pull off......it's become so easy with 2k4 that everyone can do it......thats a special skill that should only be aquired by the most practiced players not just anyone!!

In ut99 it was very hard to do and took a ton of skill to get good at....IMO thats the way it should be!!

 

[gregori]

The yellow combo looks sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Shock combo isn't any more or less diffficult in ut2kx as it is to ut99
keeping this skill to all but the elite of players would be stupid,unfair and stupid!
it's a staple unreal attack, why would epic try to cut their fan base in half? those kind of stupid elitest ideas ruined ut2k3 and made the leaning curve long and not very fun!
Fun anyone?

 

[Vault]

yeah, email that Epic, i think they'd seriously consider the yellow

Shock combo isn't any more or less diffficult in ut2kx as it is to ut99

The ball moves slower than in UT, so even moving combos are easier to pull off

But the ball is smaller.

 

[gregori]

No, if you use the same techique for hitting the shock ball it becomes more an issue of where it explodes as opposed to if it explodes depnding on if you are playing ut99 or 2kx
otherwise its no different,

 

[Xaero_UT]

How about yellow?

radiosity, is that part of ur new weapon mutator thing(sorry forgot name), if so, i want to dl it when it comes out...any chance of customizing shock combo colours?

The ball moves so slow and is so easy to hit that just about every reg weapons server i go into thats the only weapon getting used...they made every weapon in 2k4 much more skilled except that weapon

I'm not an elitist player as a matter of fact I'm an IG player that recently started enjoying reg weapons again and in just a few weeks I can shock combo all over the maps.....I shouldn't be able to do this at such an early stage of playing reg weapons.....

I never was able to pull this off in ut99 so I didn't even attempt it hardly ever

I guess my point is that the damage it does is way to rewarding for how easy it is to pull off...I think you should have to earn that kinda damage...like a headshot is earned!!

Xaero - no, it's not part of Hybrid Tournament, it's a weapon from another weapon pack I've never released (and which isn't finished). Mainly it's a particle fx tech demo, showing off the kind of thing you can do with emitters, though all the weapons are also a lot of fun to play with too of course

The model in those pics is Felina:

The original model is Marygold (Felina is a skin by someone else which uses a slightly adjusted model, so you'll need to download both):
http://skincity.beyondunreal.com/?section=models&action=show_infos&id=364

And a new skin the creator of Marygold has released recently that I rather like, Elektra

edit: search the skins area under the custom skins catergory, there are a ton of other cool skins for marygold as well

thankz, oh and not being a big modder, is the ability to change the colour of the combo's easy for the average player to do? (think i see this answer coming, but....)
cheers

Ok beng they have removed the bolo weapon from the scorpion... how about an anti-vehicle hand-held version. Perhaps with a lock mechanism like the Avril. You could charge how many explosives you wanted to shoot just like the scorp gun does now and FWING let er' rip. Or perhaps make it a charged alt-fire for the nade launcher.

 

[Oakwarrior]

Yeah, the bolas was sweet. But they're taking it from us! So, a handheld thing sounds cool.

Anyway...

Racial starting weapons would be nice. Why would Juggs need shield guns when they can beat the living poop out of everything.

 

[Unreality]

to trickjump offcourse...

 

[BooGiTyBoY]

Give that man a cigar

 

[Oakwarrior]

Yeah, the Jumpin Juggernuts have made a real name for the Shield Gun. Juggernauts should still have the shield gun.

 

[gregori]

If the juggernauts had boosters in their boots, like jump boots more advanced though they could put in easily race based ablilities, ie the juggernauts would be the slowest race by far, but with rechargable boosters in their boots they can close the distance uc2 style, just a little toned down, and no adrenaline

makes sense since they took the jump boots out of the serious and juggernauts look like a walking tank in anyway , kinda of like the booster boots that robot from tekken 2 had prototype jack

gives us an excuse for crazy skaarj dodges again also

gregori's ideas ------------------------------------------------------------> (plus some)

 

[gregori]

stupid imagination! ah well

 

[edhe]

Imagination isn't bad, kid, but you have to be realistic about ideas that go into games, especially such tightly wound up genres like FPSs, then arena combat, then UT.

Maybe you should play about in the modding forums for a while?
