there should be a ctf mode were you have a certain amount of time to make a fortress or whatever to guard your flag before the start of a match.[|)] plus you could have turrets that shoot automatically at enemies.[:)]

Go play Starcraft. When you're done, you can come back and delete this topic.

He can't delete anything with all these posts in here now.....

On Topic: Bad idea...sorry. How would you even build the fortress during gameplay? Do you think you'd even have time to do so while you're shooting at your enemies and dieing? Not even close. Nice try though.

besides, auto-turrets have been suggested before. AND FORTRESSES????????? It wouldnt be possible because if you build a good enough one, then no one can get in. Which will have the "fortress" sieged and yadda yadda yadda. Dont turn it into a LOTR movie or something.

The Geoligist, I've always appreciated how you didn't just say "this is the worst idea ever", you've always had more respect for people than that, explaining WHY things wouldn't work, even if the idea was horribly terrible.

If you are trying to compliment him, at least spell his name right. Show some respect.

Your idea reminds me of sucks.
Do you ever play soldat?? Who has time to build [:-censored]??
The average lifespan seems to be about 20 seconds.

i agree that this is pure spam...
no thier should not be a building mode... if you want to protect your flag more you can always shoot it into a hiding spot or something...

what is it with you people, soldat gets boring after a while without change. whats all this crap about keeping it simple, your doing nobody any favours. i am so bored of the original soldat now, tht i am making my own mod, which changes the gameplay. you guys suck, ive been playing soldat since it came out and i for one, am sooooooo bored of it. it would be cool wiv some vehicles, or water, or a new ability. but the idea of ninja thingy......i say go make a mod for that!

If you are bored than don't play it.

KAMO

Sorry hard!
i didnt mean it in that sense, i meant im bored with thesame gameplay over and over again. some1 has to agree with me, soldat is simple. i no, thts wut got me attracted to the game in the first place. im just saying that it is in need of a bit of a change.

KAMO sounds a lot like Sprocket. Maybe you two should talk.

I'm glad you're doing your part to make Soldat the way you want it, KAMO, but that's no reason to force your opinion upon other people.

Just do what you can to make the game the way you want it and when you're finished, then you can have something to say.

Quick question though, how're you modding the game without any sort of source code?

Generic idea response sheet V1.0.3, by Jay. Loosely based on the "Generic spam solution response sheet"

(feel free to revise add, but send a copy to me at jd0gg7@yahoo.com)


Your post advocates a

( ) Balance Issue (x) Feature addition ( ) Feature Subtraction

to soldat. It will be rejected unfairly (most times without any consideration) by

(x) Hardcore DM purists ( ) Barretards (x) People who fear change ( ) N00b Bashers

On the basis of/With the argument that/because (One or more of the following may apply to your particular idea)

(x) It would never work. (without posting an argument as to why)
( ) Your spelling/grammar sucks (has little to do with the merit of your idea, but it WILL be used against you)
(x) You failed to post any arguments as to why it would be a good idea.
(x) It would take too long (even though updates take months and no one seems to mind waiting)
(x) It would be full of bugs (even though we have a beta process to fix that)
( ) Your idea was not clear enough, or was too vague and will be attackable on many points.
(x) It would require some people to have to learn to use a new gun/feature, and they wont like that.
(x) It would piss of too many "INSERT GROUP" and require that they change their winning strategy
( ) It's too much like an already existing gun/feature/mode.
( ) Because this "Isn't CS j00 n00bz0rz"
(x) Because it doesn't stay to true the "spirit of Soldat", whatever the hell that is (explanation wont
be provided.)
( ) It's too "arcade". (pisses off tactical/strategic players)
(x) It's too "sim/realistic" (pisses off DM purists, aka "Quake refugees")
( ) I say so (in other words, no argument could be formed, usually get this from the fear change people.)
( ) It would splinter the community and form too many "niche groups"
(x) It would "over complicate the game"
( ) It would "over simplify the game"
( ) The fascist moderates already made a sticky saying you can't talk about this (mods USUALY fall into
one of the groups mentioned above.)

and the following philosophical objections may also come up:

( ) Ideas similar to yours are easy to come up with, yet none have ever been shown practical, or have
been implemented.
( ) It takes too long for large changes such as your to take hold, and the road is hard. It will be
squashed by someone/thing before it is even considered.
(x) Your idea it too drastic, and any rational thought from either side will be drowned out by the
childish flames, threats, and name calling.

Furthermore, this is what I think about you:

(x) Good idea, it would work if it weren't' for some group(s) blocking progress.
( ) Sorry dude, but I don't think it would work.
( ) This is a stupid idea, and you're a stupid person for suggesting it.
( ) Nice try, assh0le! I'm going to find out where you live and burn your
house down!
