Skill points, and Mad Jack McJack

He is well trained with the use of his trusted M16 and blood splatters all over the place as the zombie horde gets decimated. Some where in his mind he hears a little voice tell him that he and his friends only have to kill 213 zombies more if they want to get rescued by the force of marines flying circles above their heads in large blackhawks. After signalling the latter and decapitating a enormous mutant zombie who goes by the name of Fred he feels.. enlighted.. Mad Jack McJack could allmost swear that by killing the foul beast he now runs much faster and can easily take 3 slaps more from a zombie. As he runs to the rescue zone, overconfident as he is, he is being bitten by zombies a bit too much and a little progress bar shows him he is slowly zombieficated. The mutation now being completed, he suddenly feels the urge to kill some marines, and as he is closeby to the rescuezone, he picks of a marine and starts clapping his hands in his face. The marine explodes in several indefinable parts and Mad Jack McJack runs off to another marine. Suddenly he is being shot at by one of his surviving friends and, allthough he can run very fast, he cant outrun this hail of shotgun pellets.. Feeling the zombie life flow out of him as he hits the asphalt, the last lift with the marines flies off to better places. The ever present roundtime counter hits zero and the game is over. Mad Jack McJack isnt a survivor and loses all his earned skill points. the end. What this magnificent piece of narration boils down to, which i think would encourage players to actually reach the objectives (instead of camping at the start), is loss of the earned skill points in a round, if a player isnt rescued. NB. not ALL of his points, but just the points he earned in the last round. Deth --------------------

I'm sorry but whatever you do to encourage it, the campers will keep camping no matter what. And they could just camp by the evac zone, and when rescue comes, flee.

I think there has to be changed a lot before this game will make me feel emersed... Be that as it may, I really think punishing players by not letting them progress will make a difference. Sometimes I see a round just made up of shooting zombies without one objective being accomplished which should mean the survivors lost. But there is no real "losing" in this game, really. Peeps can just continue shooting zombies and get better. Probably being proposed a million times, why DO zombiefied players turn back as a survivor anyway? It doesnt (like allmost any other fps) make players more carefull or fear for their avatars life. Well, this is of course another topic so dont feel obliged to answer anything about it here.. regards, Deth This post has been edited by Deth on August 08, 2005 12:09 am --------------------

I would love for another kind of game mode like this, where you only have certain number of lives - if more than one. Kind of like (Yeah, yeah, I know...don't say anything) Zombie Panic. Once dead, you stay as Zombie and when everyopne dies, new round/map restart.

The Last Man Standing maps are just like that

If you get zombified, you stay as a zombie until there's only one person left as a survivor.

And POO_ASS, if you're not going to post so that people understand what the hell you just said, then refrain from clicking that 'Reply' button.
