BOOSTED

Post by slapshot »

For those who don't know yet:

Boosted!
A Free For All with double damage, double accuracy, but 50% ammo.
It should provide a better gameplay at least for these reasons:
- it's an advantage for the smart players (who finds the target first has better chances).
- it's an advantage for the good shooters (better accuracy).
- it's a disadvantage for the bad connections (they die faster).
- less ammo means more interesting gameplay and more weapons involved.
So clear the browser cache and give it a try.
If most of the players will find this gameplay better, we can make it default in team modes.

I think this topic should be on top in the same way as the Tournament topic.
At least for one month or two.
Thank you slapshot!

I was thinking about this camp/game mode and it seems that this is not enough to have it tested... nobody goes there and nobody that read this feels like trying... and if the player goes to try nobody is there!
So I think the only way to have it tested is to put in the place of Free For All for some time with a message next saying (boosted) and wait what they will say about...
Without this we will not have this tested!! Just my opinion! :biggthumbsup:

Hi Remus!
What do you think about putting Boosted in the place of Free For All, for some time as I wrote above, to have it tested? This will give us a answer if its better or not. I liked it when I tested but I would like to test more. As nobody goes there and when we invite some players they just don't want to leave Free For All I think this is the only way to give Boosted mode a chance. I'm just trying to help with ideas! If nobody think its a good one, no problem.
I'm just trying to don't let this boosted die without taking a good look. We might be loosing something good. Maybe.
:cheers:

-it's a advantage for the bad conections,, I disagree, they do not die with a simple shot, I've tested. I need to have more bullets in the gun to kill him, I do not have it anymore.

smart players and good shooters, huuum, read,, good ratones holed. :mrgreen:

if ever I meet him with my x-29 (DS) is shown several deadstrike (in chat), (​​if it's with three shots, is shown 3 deadstrikes ) but only 1 death(or los ratones or the immortals/bad conections/ cheaters/morons).

bonuses?, where is the bonuses?, I do not even know what it! still exist?
The old players (legends, Marshalls, generals) are equal to all the newbies now (in bonuses).
Now, you kill one and run out of bullets in your gun if you run for ammo or weapon, you'll be dead. or by some moron, or some ratone holed bitch.
:whatis:
frankly speaking, but now I'm feeling a bit frustrated with the game. :biggthumbsdown:

I think this is Remus's way of getting everyone to try it. Give it time! I did not like it at first, but he's right (o'omnipotent one), it DOES add a lot of interesting angles to the game! You run out of bullets fast, and only get a few. So you MUST play with all guns! :mrgreen:

In fact I didn't find a single disadvantage of the current approach.
More advantages:
- the gameplay is more balanced
- the players started to use many weapons (they have 14 options after all)
- the players with <1000 frags don't leave the camps so easy if someone with >30,000 joins their camp
- it's more realistic (a few bullets to kill someone)
- it's more dynamic

The new changes to game have put me to Disadvantage..now when i enter a room i am killed most of the time before i could even move. even in regeneration players are killing me before i can even shoot my gun. they can kill me with 1 shot of of snipper gun every time. or two to a few shots with other guns. i in turn have to shoot more times then them. its like almost all are Immortals to me now. i find it almost impossible to play.

Remus makes the game. But I think he rarely plays the game. So while he looks into the camps and watches bad connection players die, he misses one important fact: ALMOST EVERYONE NOW HAS BAD CONNECTION! :lol: :lol:

So he's seeing pinger-on-pinger crime! Yes. They now die easier. That's a given. Instead of two idiots spinning around in circles for 20 seconds, neither one of them causing the other damage with a gun, and eventually bombing a suicide strike - now they die faster.

Because of the increased damage, now you can actually kill one of the pingers in one (about 20% of the time) or two headshots, whereas before it would take a minimum of two and sometimes four if they had armor or just a really BS connection.

But there's one important factor here: You have to hit them first! lmao

Another important factor: They have to receive the pack!

When it's a bad connection vs. a bad connection, this is fine. The better player wins when all things are equal and skill is allowed to decide the outcome.

The player with better aim wins instead of the spastic. The smart player has an advantage as it should be.

But then there's the good connection players. The players who have smooth movements. The players who do not miss packs. The players who ALREADY died in 1 shot before the update.

Bad connection players die easier. Yes. But now players with good connection are nothing but frag-boosters for bad connections in a normal camp.

My friends, we proud few Hopeless warriors have been forced into rat-holes for survival. Our skin now more fragile, our blood now quicker to flow and stain the cement.

Our bullets may be more to their purpose, defeating an evil pinger with more ease, but it's our own hides whose suffering bears all.

I don't think there's any way to combat this. If a bad connection player dies easier, everyone knows what happens to a good connection player. We become an endangered species - and not a protected class, but an evolutionary mistake quickly correcting itself and yielding to the herd.

Hang in there, my friends! This definitely sucks if you're not a twitcher, but if you can avoid getting hit with any bullet whatsoever, you too can make frags.

Now we just have to be rats and nibble on cheese whilst we wait for chickens.

How about Remus can make s invincible for 3 seconds when we respawn, but to be fair, you can't shoot for the 3 seconds
