Siege Parasites!

StoatBringer

I played on a server last night which had an interesting plugin active - siege pistols!
Never seen it before, but it was great fun. Not for a serious game, of course, just messing around.

If you've not seen it before, pistols and parasites cause a siege-cannon explosion whereever they hit. If you've ever played a "NukeDeath" game on Unreal Tournament, the result is kind of like that. Massive explosions all over the map, all the time.

Hmm... I wonder if it could be modified to a "SiegeDeath" plugin? Whenever you die, you let off a siege explosion. Could cause highly amusing chain-reactions of whole groups of players exploding at once. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Would you believe me if I have never played a NukeDeath game on UT? Nor that I want too? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

you wouldnt believe how fast that plug-in can clear out a server.

I played with this in 1.04 on the H2O servers. It's great for a single game, sieges everywhere, people dying. It was great for a single game, maybe 2, but it wasn't fun for very long.

I would like to try this out, can someone post an IP?

It was fun at first.

But that stuff gets old real fast.

You make it sound like the marines were usually winning...

Since the aliens get Siege Parasite, it was a slaughter. They could shoot that from <i>anywhere</i>. Marines couldn't leave base. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

And IMHO, it's a stupid plugin. Sure, it's kinda funny/fun at first but it's novelty wears thin very quickly... It takes the Strategy out of First Person Strategy. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
