Yep, everywhere i come the better gamers (highest xp, all medic and saying the are proā¦) are always saying that proning is for noobs because they cant survive without as the hitboxes suck.

well i canāt say that this would be the case ā¦ but after seeing a few clan match videos and some really lame in-fight-quick-proning i really do ask myself why itās even allowed in clan matches

Back to topic.
Cool death animations for Stroggs
It may be not obvious at first, but you can afford to use really cool death animations for Stroggs.
In Wolf:ET all deaths look very boring - all wounded/corpses lie on their backs. I understand it would be troublesome when reviving is involved. But unless Iām missing something, thereās no way to revive a Strogg. So give us some badass death animations, like those in Quake2 single player and better. Or else.

This isnāt really a gameplay suggestion, just a āwouldnāt it be cool ifā kind of postā¦
Iāve always wanted to be able to call in orbital laser strikes, like in that anime classic, Akira. It would simply be precise sci-fi themed arty or airstrike. If youāve seen this movie you know what Iām talking about. If you havenāt, just imagine thereās a humongous laser-cannon satellite in geosyncrohous orbit over the map, that fires precise blasts down on the designated target. The beam would have say, a radius of 6 meters (or whatever), burn through the clouds and have a bit of EMP effect outside of the actual laser beam.
Looking forward to playing the game!

death amination nowadays seem to use the ragdol physics system so homefully there will be no need to death animation and we will get corpses slouched agasint walls and floping around and bulltes fly into them

Iāll believe you when I see GDF medic turn a wounded soldier around from āon bellyā to āon backā position. You completely forgot about medic. āShock therapyā wonāt be applied to someoneās butt, unfortunately. See Jackass the movie for reference.
But yeah, it seems they can use ragdoll for strogg, no doubt.

perhaps that what the turn over thing is for is GDF die with ragdlo physics then the medics must move them into a suitable position before they can be revivedā¦ its a posibility anyway

timedemo is a good thing
because it enables people to test performance in a reliable and standarised way. I donāt mind if it doesnāt run at startup as long as itās there.

Some XP adjustments:
- you should get xp for destroying enemy deployables/crew-serwed guns depending on amount of people killed with this particular deployable. For example, if filthy human soldier used deployable MG to kill 12 Stroggs, I would get (base bonus + 12/2) for destroying the MG. The reasoning is simple: MGs which killed many proved themselves to be big obstacles and itās beneficial for your team to take it down. Therefore it should be encouraged.
It should be noted that not all stationary MGs are of equal usefulness. The MG between Truck Barrier 1 and 2 (GRush) is marginally useful, as opposed to ones overlooking bank courtyard. BUT to engine, theyāre the same. - Related to above: if certain stationary MG has been used to kill many soldiers, an engineer should get even more points for repairing it, because it IS useful on defence, apparently.
(also for mobile guns/deployables if they can be disabled, not just completely destroyed) - it may be a good to make above idea work for vehicles, or even individual soldiers. You know how sometimes thereās a guy with very good hardware, aim and ping and playing a medic ? Sometimes these are very hard to take down and can take out 2-3 newbies on their own.
Similarly, medic could get more points for reviving classes which are vital for current mission progress. If an engineer is sorely needed to repair a bridge, medic should get more than usual xp for reviving one.

What i would like in Quake wars:
I used to play tribes and what was really good about this game was the voice stuff as you had many to choose from, also many other commands could be made up as long as you had the wav pack you could hear it. That is what is wrong with BF2 there is only so many commands you can choose from unless you use teamspeak or other talk progs.

No donāt. I have the money and maybe free makes more ppl play it. But today I had again something I dislike of ET being free. I got kicked from a server by other players while I just planted a dynamite at south gun on oasis. They wanted kills, most kills, good ratios etc instead of the teamwork and victory. I hope ppl who want to play like that wont buy the game and go for games they can do what they want like UT or something instead of teh tactic ETQW.

Why donāt they play LMS then?
Well, youāll have ākiddiesā everywhere, no matter what game or minimum age it is.

But I hope that if you need to pay for the game that people will look what they buy. These people wont buy ET:QW cuz itās too tactical, real etc. They can better buy UT for the money. I hope that because of paying only ppl will play the game who really know what to do and wanna play it the way itās ment to be played.

Umm, slower respawn ? Besides, you canāt really spawn camp with aritllery on LMS, I think. And we all know spawn camping is 1337, the game was made this way on purpose, itās a viable tactic, and it requires lots of skill.

Ah yes. I meant DMā¦ I know at least 1 mod that implemented it.
And personally, Iām surely against spawncamping, and certainly dislike artillery abuse. Especially if the spawncamping team has an advantage. But thatās just my opinion. :nag:
