<div class="IPBDescription">Role Playing in NS</div> Doesn't anyone think that it would be fun if there were role-playing servers for NS where people pretended to be real marines and remained in character at all times? The degree of RP would be up to the server operator, of course.

I think that it would really improve the NS experience in a lot of ways.

    maybe in the next version of ns that doesnt use the hl engine. ns is already forcing the hl engine to do stuff it was never meant to, and the maps for ns are no exception. (ns_fenris) adding any more to the game would probably cause the hl engine to crash and burn.

    i personally would like to see ns have maps like the ones on ut2k4 using the source engine. outdoor gameplay with vehicles and such would be awesome

    I shudder to think how this would be enforced.

    Alien: "Hsssssss!"
    Marine: *blows alien away*
    Alien: "Dud3! I was trying to t4lk so we could start a space empire 2gether!"
    Marine: "I'm sorry, wha!" *blows the alien away again*
    Alien: "You @!#!@##423 I #$@#$ hat3 u u #$@#$@#$"
    Marine: *blows him away yet again*

    Yeah, that would work.

    What with the negativity? This worked great for Opera players for a while; assuming the right crowd, I think it'd definetly be possible here, as well.

    Wasn't this the environment for that battle for the galaxy thing they were doing?? Not quite a RP situation but fairly well structured..

    no no no... you play like you would play normally. you try to beat the enemy just like on a normal server, youjust STAY IN CHARACTER when you do it.

    Squads listen to the comm, call him sir, dont move without his permission etc.

    dont know, ics. one person COULD be the hive or something like that. I just thought it was a fun idea.

    Yes obedient troops, like in real life. While you're out on missions you can share fake stories with your squad members, move cautiously as a team that sort of thing.

    i really like ur idea but it will be abit hard to make a reality <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    tbh i dont think it should be done on hl engien... source engien has more possibilitys so if anything then on it.
    btw sorry for faulty english <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Along time ago I read about the plugin for TS for Roleplay on some maps.

    I wanted to code a plugin for AMXX making Lerks Taxi's, gorges wifes.. ect. ect.

    And then aliens could "do it <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->" and have ickle babblers...


    I never got round to it. BUT my ideas were pretty neat.. including Resources for taxis... then the lorks could go to shops buying abilities and upgrades..

    ofcourse there were over roles and jobs u could play...

    Like wen your onos you only have stomp and you have to stop traffic ect...


    trust me it had some nice ideas and some wacky ones.. ^^ including gun shops, pr0n shops, and groceries ect...

    It was just a fun RP game

    ahh well never made it............. maybe i shud...
