What Valve need to change

[Cons Himself]

of course this is all imo...

powerups - health and battery packs, ammo.

there are basically not enough dotted around the levels, especially overwatch. this makes it kinda hard to stay alive for a decent amount of time especially when there is more than 8 peeps on a server. Also theres not really enough ammo for each gun imo. ALSO, items need to be more visible/a bit larger - ammo boxes/batteries are quite hard to see.

super powerups

for eg, think Quake 1/3's red armor, mega health and quad damage. of course theres the super charger on lockdown, but there needs to be more variety in there. controlling super powerups is quite hard but once you manage it in a FFA you get rewarded with quite a long stint of fragging depending on how good you are of course.

alter/add some guns for DM

Add the TAU, technically its part of the HL2 'universe' since its on the buggy in the game. Also, werent there some laser trip mines in the single player HL2 game too (that room when you have to shut down the suppression field with barney). Tone down the rate of fire for the magnum, but keep the power the same as a kind of slow railgun type of weapon. Exploding and faster crossbow bolts. Ability to cook off grenades (i think this has been taken out for HL2DM?)

what dya think?

This isn't quake.

i said *think* quake's red armor etc. i didnt say include red armor mega health etc. just more superpowerups with a HL2 theme - maybe limited time blue grav gun?

what did you think about the other 2 suggestions?

ok, so what dd you think to the other two suggestions...

(i just love poking at people for being grumpy mono syllabics )

surely someone else must think a limited time blue grav gun upgrade would be hella cool?

 

[Joy_Decoy]

This isn't HL2 Singleplayer :/

yawn

im off to paulys server

I think you are absolutely spot on about the laser trip mines. They would really help in adding a strategic element to the game that is sorely missing. Perhaps even the det packs also could be brought back into the game, as far as I understand they are in the alpha fully working so it would be easy for Valve to stick them in also (whereas laser trip mines are already in the released HL2).

You can pick up Unreal Tourny 2004 in a sexy DVD set these days.

Fun game, you should try it.

Yes I agree this is an awesome idea. It should be a charge station that only has juice every "X" minutes and it alters 1 grav gun.

Great Idea.

err. i don't think so

unless you take away the blue grav gun's instakill ability so that the players can be picked up without instantly dying.

Still it would suck in a severe manner to have an entire server pwned by one man throwing players everywhere

No no it would be like the Quad Damage in Quake. It would only last like 45 seconds.

what needs to be changed was pretty much greatly covered in Apos's thread.. and it even had some nice ideas too.. so i hope the Valve pple have taken some time to read that particular thread.

Actually this forum is made up more of eurotrash. They are usually the ones getting rowdy as well. :thumbs:
