Epic Vs 3.0

Fyxd

<div class="IPBDescription">possible solution</div> For all those people wanting the good old days of 1.04 and for those wanting 3.0 ns modes why not just add a server variable/map names for the two versions?
ie ns_1.04_eclipse , ns_3.0_eclipse
or something like mp_server1.04 /3.0
basically the 1.04 would just need the bug updates and the server could decide wheather it wanted to be a 3.0 style or 1.04 style it wanted or a variation of both?
This would sort out the problem of people complaining about them missing the epic style battles and if they wanted they could throw in some faster paced ns if they felt like it or vice versa

comments?

Good idea but way too much work.

Maybe someone could write an amx-plugin or something.. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

For long epic style games, remove RFK, slow down res gain and increase the cost of everything across the board. I guarantee your games will be much longer and harder fought. Unfortunately, once you get to the point that a winner is clear, it's just that much longer before the game is over.

It's basically saying going from horribly unbalanced (1.04) to something that's somewhat balanced over 1.04 (3.0). 1.04 is full of the stupid "infinite fuel jetpacks" and HMG's taking out hive's in two drum's in the first four minute's of the game with only three resource nozzles.

True, got more than once **** off because of those rushes, but flying free like a bird was -most importantly- FUN. IMO, with current lerk flight, it would had been better to decrease lerk cost to minimal rather than nerf the jets.

I find the new model to be way more fun than the old ones. I've also found that the new lerk is THE anti-jetpacker.

Sorry, I'm just getting irritated by all of the "1.04 WAS BETTER!" stuff. Frankly, I didn't find it better.

And it hurts even more to see how many people want to change the lerk back, despite the fact that I NEVER saw a lerk in 1.04 or 2.01 capable of effective flight. Especially not to the point of picking jetpackers out of the air.

I am one of those who thought 1.04 did a few things better, but the people who wants the old lerk flight thing is just plain messed up.

New lerk flight is much, much more intuitive. Its one of the coolest innovations in NS.

that was the whole point of this thread to suggest that a comrpimise between those who wanted 1.04 or 3.0
those who liked 1.04 would be able to play it and those who like 3.0 would be able to play that <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
