Ns Capture The Flag!

<div class="IPBDescription">^^^^^^^^^^^^^</div> Me, ReD, a couple people from Defcon's clan, and random scrubs on irc went to play "NSCTF" invented by [ReD]mogg. It was hilariously fun, and as soon as we get fun mode to work it will be easier to depict teams from eachother.
Basically this is how it's played:
1 Game Master
2 Captains
Knives only
cheats with highdamage on
team one is in the marine start, and respawns by f4ing and joining back in
team two waits to respawn in their start(a hive)
The game master builds bases inside both starts, and then places the flag ( shotgun/gl/hmg/ha/welder/etc) inside these little armory fortresses
If you grab the flag, you can use it.
The gamemaster respawns flags that have disapeered, organizes the game, headcounts, makes the fortresses, picks the flag, and makes sure everyone uses their proper respawn.

We altered the gameplay around by using JP/HA near the end. Hopefully we can get admin mod to work so we can have 1 team glowing different from another, making it a lot easier. Watch the demo, its pretty funny <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    No, just no. The best thing about NS is that it is so not another CTF mod. Don't do it. For the love of all thats holy, no.

    There should be one or two joke servers just for stupid fun things like this. Takes the edge off sometimes. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    CTF is beaten to death. It was a huge draw to me to see a game so break away from the norm like NS has. IMHO it would cheapen the original. It is purely that. My opinion. No flaming, no owning or any such nonesence.

    watched a demo.

    doesn't mean he's going to delay 1.1 to implement ctf gameplay....
    ...



    ...does it?! <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I have NO idea what the hell you just said, Ackz, but I'm sure I'd hate it if I knew.
  • Seraphic8XSeraphic8X Join Date: 2002-06-15 Member: 771Members
    I think it's a really cool and interesting idea.

    I don't see why past experience with CTF mods has anything to do with NS. You haven't even tried it yet, so how do you know it sucks?
  • MartMart Origin of SUYF Join Date: 2002-02-26 Member: 248Members
    Reminds me of the time EC played Marine vs Marine deathmatch on Nano. Similar rules with the commander giving out weapons all over the map. Eventually it degenerated into JP HMGs vs HA Shotguns. Was fun for awhile.

    Part of what makes NS so unique is the immersive atmosphere. It doesn't really lend it's self to CTF, which is quite the different atmosphere. CTF is a "game", as such it hardly seems to fit the back story and the feel of the game for Kharaa and The TSA to play nice. Aside from that, CTF is CTF regardless of how you skin the participants.

    I feel similarly about AvA and MvM but at least it could fit the story.

    I would *hate* to see NS degenerate into something Starcraft/warcraft 3 ish with all those random mostly not so fun custom mods.

    However I gladly embrace good mods <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    What I would love to see is a kind of NS Safari - basically go onos hunting out on the savannah. This would probably involve vehicles as well and I know I know those are the bane of all that is holy. But damn it might be fun, at least for a while.

    Maybe each alien could have its own habitats, their own particular social dynamics.

    Or bullfighting with marines vs aliens.

    Or limbo contests with trip mines and web.

    This would be cool as a fun mode. Add some disco balls and I'm in.

    its not a mod, its just something they did in the current game. some people need to lighten up about your games. gotta do something different every now and then, or you'll go nuts

    You could've used flashlights to tell the teams apart btw. You glow up when you have it on.
