    NS DeathMatch. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Some programmer should make a metamod for this (if it can be done), though I don't like the idea of unlimited energy for aliens, unlimited ammo for marines.. well, you know I would just make everything free and keep it at that. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    And yes... it'd be just for fun.

    So let me get this straight. You're asking for a metamod plugin that'll give full tech to both teams right from the start, with unlimited res for structures and equipment drops, and all evolutions available at once?

    I don't know what'd be worse, the cost-free infinite medspamming or facing fades with all 9 evolutions. Wow. Regen+redemp+cara+cloak+silence+adren+celerity+goodlordythat'salotofevolutionstohaveatonce

    Since Fades could fire indefinitely, does that mean that marines would have infinite clips?

    *imagines 9 GL/Jetpackers go on bombing runs throughout the map*

    HA would have to be restricted unless they want to ruin all the fun. I don't really think this would imbalance it since Marines would all have Jetpacks vs. Onos with Shotguns. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    When I want to deathmatch, I play Unreal Tournament myself. I don't try degrading NS.

    I called this idea out myself a long time ago..

    and the people who are bashing this idea don't bash it until you really try it

    its like that cover of a book quote


    brain slowed down right now so i can't really think

    Just use sv_cheats 1. Spawnhive will give hives...

    That's exactly the same thing as the Ultra*-Mods for Tribes. Oooh there was UltraRenegades: Instant-death sniper rifles that shoot 30 rounds per second, super-mortars with 400 ammo and insane fire rates, unlimited jet energy, etc.

    Could be fun in NS, but I too doubt this crap of an engine can handle it. Aaah, if only NS was built using torque... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Enabling cheats allows everyone to, well "cheat". Thus, it isn't a good feature for pub play. Just making everything cost nothing would be fun for a casual game here and there. Only waiting around would be for building things, though that could be doubled in speed for this deathmatch style.

    Unlimited energy would be too powerful and pointless. Even deathmatch games have limits. Same goes with many other formentioned things. Inifinite ammo, why when you can have com drop ammo all over or have you build a armory in 5 secs for as much as you want? There would of course need to be stricter building limitations to limit spammage.

    I'm of course trying to think of a functional deathmatch style here. Heh.

    Not if coded appropriately. You can limit structures.
