: Wow, I actually get to respond to question regarding
: a mod. Like I know what I'm doing. :^}

: : 1. Maybe make the game a bit more HPW friendly, anyone
: : who has played me has seen that i cant rail worth shit
: : with of ping of 300+, The RL is too weak...maybe you
: : could find a happy medium between the two?

: I've wracked my brain for HPW "helpers" in this mod
: that don't unbalance the game. BatCat has shot most
: of them down. :^}

: I agree that NH, being so dependent on the rail gun,
: is even more ping sensitive than most mods.

: BatCat is also correct in that many players don't
: "think" stealthy. However, there is a limit to what
: you can do with a nasty ping.

: One possible option is to allow the pred to "overload"
: the RL. This would then do "normal" damage, but at
: the cost of TWO rockets worth of ammo.

Actually, I sat down a thought about this...The overload idea
would be good..

Im just suggesting this, Rememeber the the thuderbolt from q1? I was thinking maybe giving the pred
a weapon similar to this. It would do about the same damage as the q1 one, but when the pred fired it
it would a)light the pred up or b)prevent the pred from moving or maybe even both :)
This would come in use for high pingers like me but also say youve hit someone the the railgun and they lived..
instead of wasting rail shots trying to hit him again you could pull out this thuderbolt thing and sweep
the area where you think he is. Most likely he has less then 20 health, just a short burst of this thing would
finish him. I think the rail would still be kept as the primary pred weap though..


: : 7. New powerups

: I've had a few other ideas. Note that we are NOT
: commiting to any of these. However, your feedback
: would be appreciated.


: 2) Tracking device/Motion sensor
Yeah, i though this would be a good idea,
Just suggesting, again. I think you should just be able to put down a proximity sensor of some sort, then say
if the pred gets within a certin range of the sensor then the marine who put the sensor down will be
alerted that the pred is near the sensor, or the sensor should make a noise of some sort.

3) Trip flares
IMHO, i dont see flares get used enough(i hardly use them myself)
for this kind of thing to get a whole lot of attention
then again, i could be wrong :)

4.)What about a powerup that lets your blaster shoot specail bolts
Whoever these happen to hit will stay lit up for about a min..
You should get only one or 2 shots though.

5.) And what about a pred decoy device? Press a button and a decoy of pred pops up
Marines attack decoy while you escape.

Tell me what you [email protected]
or reply here.

: : long live NH :)

: Thanks for your input!
