<div class="IPBDescription">state your intentions, allegiance,</div>If this sounds familiar then you played with me tonight. I want to thank Ali Baba, Battleship, Battlesheep, . (the guy with the nick "."), praetorian, JRT and everyone else who played with us tonight. Guys it was a very fun experience and I hope we can play again with "fades and slaves".
For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, here is the short version.
Bunch of us played faded mod of NS2. It's the same as hidden or last resistance. You can only join marines and a random player becomes the fade with camo and skulk leap. Marines win when the fade dies or by surviving over 5 minutes. So basically after playing a while I saw a marine randomly killing each other. So jokingly I suggested that one of us should join the fade as a ally and should swear eternal allegiance over all_chat. The gamers/gamer girls accepted this and generally started to play as marines while chating stuff like: "I am one with dark one." or "I am the fade slave this round." After that marines would know who to avoid. Of course some people just permanently shifted their alignment to the fade and started killing everyone on the spawn point. Then when the slaves would kill of the normal marines the fade would say: "There can be only one slave. Fight to the death. My minions." Then the surviving slaves would fight among themselves. The winner could then either betray the fade master and kill it or place a mine on his/her feet and blow himself up for the master.
If you don't understand why would someone blow himself up, imagine you are roleplaying a crazy cultist from 40k warhammer.
In the end there was only 4 of us left on the server and we had to agree although we had a blast, we probably trashed the server with our way of playing.
So why am I writing all of this? I want to point out something I noticed. So far the only game types I have seen are gorge race, combat, hidden/last resistance/fadded and co_?(something). I'm not saying these are bad or boring game types I'm saying we can have more variety. Where is marine vs. marine play mode or how about hunting for a fade when in the game the fade could have a accomplice on the marine team and you don't know who he is.
I'm saying, and I want to say this as gently as possible, mod makers should not be afraid to think outside of the box. Khaara against khaara fine. Marines vs. marines double fine. Skynet controled arcs exos and welders vs marines or Khaara, triple fine. A game type where there are three team pitted against each other. Wooooow. O.O Where can I DL that. :D
And for those of you old gamers who are afraid of change. I can say only this. Don't constrain this game by saying you don't want it to be like Modern warfare or Team fortress 2 clone. Let it grow in it's own way, the way the community wants it to grow. If something is fun, but wasn't there in NS1 don't immediately jump the gun and stomp the idea (no pun intended :) ).
Wow. This got longer than I thought. Bacon and eggs for those who read the whole thing. ;)
