How about a mode where you begin on 50% health, and get 25% of the damage you inflict back as hitpoints? Or you slowly lose health, and have to kill to stay alive?

Could be a fun mode *devil grin*

You already have to kill to stay alive.

Yea...a game mode where you start with less than 100% health and have to be good to stay alive. I'm sure that'll get more play than HTF...

Do we seriously need to call every idea that gets suggested a good one? No offense...but this doesn't seem like a good, worthwhile, or even practical idea. Pretty sure it's been suggested before, and also shot down.

Im sure I could dodge bullets for whole match , unless people teamed up on me and came from both sides, but I would still get away D:.

Autos would probably dominate in this mode.

SO you have to kill a normal player who has 100% health, while you yourself has less than 60% health, and is slowly losing it as well?

Finally a nerf for 1 shot kills :OO
You do know this limits your kills too...
WTF would you do this

This sounds better as a powerup imho, where for like 1 minute you can run around shooting people and gaining HP for the damage you cause. Autos wont pwn in this because single bullets only do so little, while semi-autos such as deagles or ruger can take out a huge chunk of their life.

Well, perhaps not the damage, maybe 50% of damage done goes to HP. :F

yea... i agree with extacide. but also, you can only have up to 150% health max and that would slowly go down (cuz it's unstable?) - kinda like in hl2 if i'm not mistaken

Yeh, on second thoughts it fits better as a power-up. But it would help eliminate people just avoiding combat, like using the long safe route in maps such as CTFs. If there is a greater emphasis on killing, there will be more killing ;)

lets think about this, health doesnt really matter anyway. hell all the health bar does is fill up room. if this was done the weapons would need to be toned down for health to matter, and thus effectivly ruining the game, bad idea

ehum.. remember that the barret and m79 does like.... 90 000 in damage... per shot. half/a fifth/a fourth would make your health go from 0 to 100% in one shot. one-shot-kills are soooo good. have +10% HP for every bullet that hits if you want a gamemode were barret and m79 is underpowered.

welcome colonel extacide! 500 posts!

i think this could be a decent powerup, 50% of damage you inflict goes to your health. sadly, this will probably never happen.

Why do we need Vampires? Soldat seems fine the way it is, with modern weapons and that stuff.

We could probably turn this suggestion around if we did this and... yeah.

HOW ABOUT THERES 2 TEAMS, HUMANS AND VAMPIRES, VAMPIRES KILL HUMANS AND HUMANS TRY TO STAY ALIVE, IF A HUMAN DIES THEY BECOME A VAMPIRE

Haart
October 19, 2005, 3:18 pm
Yeh, should start with 1 vampire though. That's a good idea :)
Humans get points for every 5 seconds they are alive, vampires get points for every kill.

can vampires fly?
and what about implementing likens (or w.e they're called)?
and they could run up walls and rip people apart and dig holes and ssa rape ppl and vampires could have like super long silver ruger rifles.

and if them vampires were to build a battle lab (technology center) they can create liquid silver bullets that will slowly kill those wearwolves!

and don't forget about implementing skin cancer from the sun (except in ctf_Equinox where it's dark) and about 1/15 people will just die out of total randomness from the sun's UV radiation!

me and some friends play a paint ball game like this. we call it zombie
there starts out as one zombie, and he can take as many hits as he wants, or one head shot(prolly wouldnt be the case for soldat). if he hits a human, the human becomes a zombie, and has to kill the humans (he has to stand still for 10 seconds to let friends/team get away before he can shoot them/they can shoot him) and once all humans are zombies, the zombies win, or once all the zombies are dead, the humans win.

thats a pretty fun paint ball game, got the idea from dawn of the dead/other zombie movies. but with soldat, it could be changed a bit, to fit the soldat ways...and other stuff. like maybe like this

two teams, red team (humans), blue team (zombies). starts out as a 3-4:1 ratio for humans:zombies, random players are chosen to be the zombies. the zombies charge/walk into the humans's base, shooting all that they see, turning the humans into zombies. and once the humans kill the zombies, they stay dead (survival mode) untill one team wins.

i dont know how the point system would work, but, what do you guys think?

Sounds like it would be better for a powerup. Except it's like having a mobile medpack for as long as you have the powerup on.

It's an okay idea, but it's not rockin' my socks.

Haart

Nothing wrong with saying "no" to an idea. But shooting it down can be harsh sometimes (not this case really). There are more "diplomatic" ways of saying "that idea sucks", and an even better response is "that idea sucks BECAUSE..."

nvm, it was just a random thought I had. Zombie mode could be fun though.
