Re: here's what I've got so far...

In Response To: here's what I've got so far... (iForge)


Ok, I've just released details of my own game type, but let's take a look at what you've got.

: Health: %500; I may lower this to %300 I just don't want to many suicides
: from all the explosions

I favoured using overshields rather than altering damage resistance (which I assume is what you meant by 'Health'). That way, enemy fire still has the same effect on you as normal, which I think is preferable. It's something I mention in my new section on creating your own game types.

: Weapons: Concusion Rifle primary, Rocket Launcher/Gravity Hammer (or 7-Wood),
: Fuel Rod/Grenade Launcher (If I use bottomless clip) secondary.

You definitely want bottomless clip for the best fun. I've yet to fully explore the practicalities of doing without, but at the very least, I think the incessant reloading would be a drag.

: Skulls: I'm going to test out adding some skulls in at different rounds; I'm
: thinking maybe Catch and/or Tough Luck (besides the obvious Cowbell)

My own game type is only one round long and I kept things simple in regard to skulls, but Catch is certainly something to consider. I tried that out already actually, but I'm going to try it some more, plus other things.

: Enemies: Not sure what I'll use... any thoughts?

I had fun considering that issue. Have to say, I find Brutes really good for blasting away with body shots, and I like the way they land, giving off puffs of dust. But all types of covie can be fun. Have you tried Jackals yet? They get blown really far - because they're so light I guess. Quirel suggested "Hunters for hard and legendary difficulties", but actually Hunters are a bit of a pushover for knocking off, unless you're trying to do it with a hammer.
