In Response To: Research -- this one's for you, 8-19 (Grasshopper) : Hamish and anyone else who might know, : Was there ever any plans to implement some kind of Capture the Flag gameplay
Yup. 'Capture the Flag', 'Keep Away From Rob' and 'Rugby' were all unimplemented netgames in M2. And buried away in the Marathon 2 resource fork is the name "Bazooka Tag". There's been some discussion on the Story page about these game types. For example: Sometime ago it was alleged that the dimmed out net game option "Keep Away from Rob" could be implemented using ResEdit. When active a player taking the net name "Rob" received invincibility and invisibility for the duration of the game. Rob's objective was to try to make as many kills as possible. The rest of the players quite naturally had to try and stay away from him. The fact that very few people claim to have managed to get this option to work places doubt on the claims. It's not clear if the option "Pile on Greg" was ever implemented. One might guess that the game play was the opposite to "Keep Away from Rob". The player, this time called "Greg" for the duration of the game, had to stay alive for as long as possible. Over a number of games the player with the fewest deaths would win. Of course this is mere speculation. Cheers
