Things I plan on doing in Quake Wars

(SubstandardJones) #1

Maybe these things will be possible and maybe they won’t be, but I won’t rest until I’ve completed the entire list, or at least made up plausible-enough sounding lies to claim that I have.

  1. Jump out of a nearly destroyed Gyrocopter to what would surely be a spectacular and very splattery death, only to miraculously survive by managing to land on top of a still-parachuting deployment of a Jeep.

  2. Somehow kill someone with the remote camera.

  3. Blow up a Hornet by driving a quad-bike off a cliff and bailing out at the last second, causing the bike to go careening into the hornet. Then I’ll make some kind of Halle Berry joke.

  4. Go leaping towards a gyrocopter in an Icarus to a wonderful Kamikaze death.

  5. Ride on top of any flying vehicle while someone else pilots it, preferably while wielding a LAW.

  6. Get an IM while flying a fully loaded Transport, causing me to switch out accidentally and lead to the deaths of all on board. Oops.

  7. Frantically cry out for a medic only to watch him go run off in another direction while tossing himself health. Oh, wait, as a matter of fact I think I had enough of that in W:ET.

  8. Take down a Goliath on foot, single handedly.

  9. Take down a Goliath on foot, single handedly with just my knife.

  10. Take down a Goliath on foot, single handedly with just my remote camera (I’m telling you, that remote camera’s going to be deadly beyond reckoning.)

  11. Get squashed by the Goliath nine hundred times while attempting to take it down on foot, single handedly.

  12. Find something that can rival the fun of killing someone (and surviving) through the use of a 90-degree mortar shot - THE HOLY GRAIL OF HILARITY!

  13. Shotgun one of those alien-cyborg-zombie bastards in the face. I mean, I’ve shotgunned aliens in the face, I’ve shotgunned cyborgs in the face, and lord knows I’ve shotgunned zombies in the face, but alien-cyborg-zombies? Man alive, I can’t wait until my first GDF teammate’s dead body gets taken over by a Strogg. That’s when me and Jenny (that’s my shotgun) take to the streets.

  14. Dodge a rocket matrix-style, only to have it turn around in midair and heat-seek its way back towards me. Wuh-oh.

  15. Crash any flying vehicle into any objective-wielding enemy, especially if he’s running and I’m somehow out of ammo. (Brings up the question, will vehicles have limited ammunition?)

  16. Get on an Icarus, leap over to a GDF guy, sneak up slowly behind him and drop a stroyent bomb while still standing on the ground. (Please make it possible to drop bombs while not in mid-air, if only to allow for hilarity like that.)

  17. Surf a body down a mountainside. This feature is sorely lacking in FPS games, I feel.

  18. Come to terms with the inner violence and aggression that leads me to want to surf a body down a mountainside.

  19. Kill at least ten people in a match using only a knife (or its QW equivalent), while under the psuedonym BatmanBeyondJones! (It’s the future!)

  20. Finish my novel.

I’ll go catching an ursus arctos horribilis (with my hands only) and enjoy a nice barbecue in the mountains while watching the sunset sky and battles down in the valley.

(McAfee) #3

I just want to put needles in everyone’s ass, so you can all do your job…

“I’m a Medic”

(SCi-Fi) #4

want the mapping tools :slight_smile:

(Svanire) #5

I liked the alient/cyborg bit. heh

(Rhoades) #6

lol, nice list.

(richmanrush) #7

only thing I hope to do in QW is run it above 30fps :o

(Loffy) #8

I am thinking of that James Bond movie where he jumps of a cliff (on a motorcycle - of course) and dives into a plane in full speed.

(Dazzamac) #9

Aye and manages to get into the plane and fly it? Now theres an idea

(Shanks) #10

I wanna goomba some strogg with the quadbike! Now that’s time well spent right there :smiley:

(Wils) #11

There’s nothing quite like getting a Husky to the face as you peer over the lip of a container…

(Deth_Metal) #12

I want to shoot down a hornet with a shotgun… all by myself. Then I want me and a group of guys to roll a troop transport loaded with C4 into a Strogg camp. Then I want to take out a Goliath with a pistol… and then promptly yell “Ooooooooooooooh, PWNED!!!1!!!111ONE!!1111ELEVEN!!!” before promptly being team killed.

(SubstandardJones) #13

You’re the promptest man I’ve ever met.

(Deth_Metal) #14

I promptly resent that :smiley:

(Hakuryu) #15

Great post :slight_smile:

I want to parachute or jump INTO the vehicle being para-dropped in and drive it off while still in the air, AND land on an enemy medic!

(SubstandardJones) #16

I belatedly apologize.

(Shanks) #17

I have a question: If you use the shock paddles on a live soldier does he have a heart attack and die? :smiley:
Hmmm…something to try methinks…

(Deth_Metal) #18

But does a Strogg have a heart to stop? Or were you talking about your own teamates… :smiley:

Realistic Goals me and Substandard came up with for Quake Wars.

  1. Make demos regularly in the community

  2. Don’t shun everyone - join a clan

  3. Rip open portals to hell

  4. Freeze time

  5. Ride jeep hood - the old bullet speed trick.

  6. Gliding, bouncing in the air. Surviving super high falls.

  7. Magic, David Copperfield-esque, not David Blaine

  8. Catapults, trebuchets.

  9. Moving at super high speeds.

  10. Space-elevator created from the debris of wrecked vehicles.

  11. Speak with the fishes. “Manatee, what’s goin’ on?”

  12. Desperation moves, like the suicide grenade only superb.

  13. Hypnosis. Propoganda.

  14. Turn enemies into pillars of salt.

Or using the sniper rifle to kill the pilot with a headshot to take the hornet down, or other transport vehicle with more passengers . Being able to pick up a stone and use it to take it down in the same way would be cool too :smiley: I wish the ammo holes would stay in the vehicle windows.
