I love messing with soldat's physics. Dropping 4 nades on one spot, then stepping on them is fun :D

What if there were a pickup that could randomly (or something):

-reverse gravity? (for dead bodies and pickups only)
-make some bullets bouncy?
-make ricochets last longer?
-cause exploding bodies to do so in slow motion... sweeeet...
-cause a players head to bounce around the map?
-give the person who got the pickup more pushing power (his bullets launch the enemy back further)
-give the person who got the pickup the ability to pick up bodies with the cursor and slap the enemies silly with it? (lol)
-make grenades bounce twice as much?

this would be fun to see... Complete and total mayhem! :D

Sounds really fun. Especially the reverse gravity.

Heheh nice :-)

Maybe if you pick that pickup you can throw 2x faster nades so it will be a nade madness!!!!! :p

Do you mean that the grenades fly faster?

No, hmmmmmmm... ( let me think )

(edited)

You throw the nades faster.
Like normal (just a sample) you throw 2 nades in 5 sec
With that psy pickup you can throw 4 in 5 sec.

Understand?????

I understand you, but I can throw five grenades in two seconds.
And it's easy to do.

Sounds like a fun idea, but I can imagine, as with any good idea, people would [IMAGE] about it.

sounds a good idea if it was a server side option, seeing as it wouldnt be all that cool in serious games

How would ice bullets pickup sound, slowing down those u hit and making their rof slower? I think this should really replace flamegod in ctf mode.

WUH!? why? flame god is cool!

NEW GAME MODE!! This would be an awesome new mode for when you get tired of playing seriously.

I love the idea of projectiles ricocheting 2+ times instead of a mere 1 B)

This both does and doesn't belong to this topic but ill put it in anyway.

I dont like when i join a game and find out its Realistic mode.
Sure, i just need to leave and join another one, but couldn't it mark it as Realistic mode somehow from the lobby in the game/server?

I posted it here as you are discussing a new game mode here, which i think sound good as well.

But there's a suggestion, make it visible that it is a realistic mod/other mod game play in the lobby.

Someone hanging from b2b's roof @ reverse gravity = rofl.

What about zero gravity?


....

lmao...zero grav sounds like being in water ( http://www.soldatforums.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=21083&SearchTerms=swim ) but the anti-gravity sounds cool! just imagine people walking upside down on maps...and are bullets also affected upsidedownish? if not then you'd have them flying away from "ground" (ground being the roofs) so it'll look really strange... or have normal walking people (on the actual floor) and the bullets just fly upwards - FREAKY! but sometin like this needs to get in the game sooner or later... and what about gravity guns?

Nope, being in water is usually half of the gravity.

RETARDED GRAVITY MODE!!

MercyM
March 26, 2005, 7:40 am
What kind of mode is that? :O

Harwin
March 26, 2005, 1:20 pm
What about reversed gravity? Running around on the "ceiling" of the levels you are so comfortable with would make it kind of funny.

MercyM
March 26, 2005, 1:26 pm
What about no gravity, double gravity, or triple gravity? :P

How about beeing able to let the map swing back and forth as in a ship? :P

Harwin
March 26, 2005, 3:38 pm
Random gravity would be kinda humorous.

Like 10 second low gravity, 10 second high, 15 second normal, then suddenly high gravity, and it just switches for no reason. :P

Would be VERY annoying though. ^^

MercyM
March 26, 2005, 3:43 pm
How about if the map would roll around all the time and the soldiers would fly with it? :P

zyxstand
March 26, 2005, 5:11 pm
HAha. no - getting way too off-topic... upside down, harwin, has been state before. however i still like it - but would all players be affected by it or just some?

UltraMagnus
March 26, 2005, 9:47 pm
how about left an right gravity?

zyxstand
March 26, 2005, 11:06 pm
neh - maps aren't good for that...and making map tat specify on all-direction-gravity is bad. keep it simple like stated in the original thread

Kewl, Sounds like a neat idea, but It would definatly hafta be a game mode, cause I dont want that all the time :p

i like soldat as it is kthxbai, leave the physics alone

I've said it once, i'll say it again.

Don't post " i like soldat as it is" or "LEAVE SOLDAT ALONE!!" in the suggestions forum. It's extremely ironic, and it makes you look like an arse.

And this would only be a pickup lasting for a limited time. One more suggestion for the pickup:

bouncy bullets :D

what if a dog was running across your ceiling while playing soldat and an elephant ate it?

And it could be easy to do, just like Marcinkowski did the ricochet, but only to make the bullet to ricochet from any angle and it would not lose speed or power.

About the dead bodies, I can imagine how to screw with ma cousin :p (although he doesnt like soldat) If your note interested, just dont read this post cuz thats all I'll say.
I would camp with that special power, taking a body to the same spot as where I am. When he walks by (I am behind a bush so he wont see me) I will let the body jump on him :p. That oughtta scare him. You dont believe he'll be that stupid? then read this:
In Pefect dark (nintendo 64), we went to multiplayer, and there were these guns that could fire through walls (and you can see through walls, it has x-ray). We told him that in that map, there were green tiles on the floor, and if you got too close, you would die. So he was looking at the ground, and we were aiming at him: BANG! Dead. He was going mad because he didnt see any green tiles (DUH, there were no green tiles). He believed it untill we told him, and we couldnt stop from p1ssing in our pants.

Dude, use the server filters. You can stop Realistic games from being displayed in the first place, AFAIK. Admittedly occasionally it'll SNAFU and show servers that it shouldn't, but nothing's perfect.
