Well, just a thought I had while I was staring at my signature. What if you could actually board the Blackhawk's Minigun or sit in it and travel around the cities to various drop points? That'd be cool, give the game a marine feeling.

Wouldn't be possible, sadly, maybe on BB:Source (If it even comes out).

maybe not the actual blackhawk u see in game.... but textures could be made to just make a structure that looks like a helicopter, and then place the .50 caliber machine guns from Half Life on the sides of it. It wouldn't be a blackhawk, but you would get to fire a turret at the zombie hordes!

you're right though... it would be fun. i doubt using it as an actual vehicle would be practical, but having a large scale helicopter with turrets as a spawn point (ropes lead to the ground, etc.) would be a cool addition to a map.

Course its possible to ride it, its just has no hit boxes on it so u cant stand on it. Pluse if u put the 50 cals on it they would lag behind and u would see them shaking so it would be very dodgy.

also it wouldnt be challenging what so ever....flying around shooting not being touched by a zombie.

THen people will recomend super mutant zombies that can fly and jump really high!

Well you cant have fun on mods any more it always has to be serious!

The Blackhawk would be fun for maps that you would have to be dropped off at spots that you couldn't reach, maybe they could make parachutes as well, for when you jump out of the Blackhawk. But, then there would be the campers that would just stay on the Blackhawk and snipe, and then the human zombies would have no way of reaching them. But, it is a pretty fun sounding idea.

I would like a map where a BlackHawk sits on a pad, ready to lift off, except it has no fuel and needs some repairs to the engine. The miniguns are still useable. Players must gather enough fuel piecemeal to get the chopper full and must find a replacement turbine (or something). Whoever fixes the chopper takes about 2 minutes to do so, then the chopper is powered up. Everyone then has 6 (or so) minutes to get in before they fly off.

I like that idea. Another idea for that is to make it so whichever people, lets say six, gathers up the stuff first gets to ride in the blackhawk, making it so that the lazy people who camp and shoot zombies that wait for the people to get back and fix the blackhawk so they can ride in it, won't be able to. Because there will be a bunch of people doing that.

You've ignored me once, resize sig, if you don't know how, i will.

Also, you've had your answer, can be done as a custom map release, but it won't be actually like the black hawk, will be an block entitiy.

Closed.
