That's because the sniper class has the LR2, I think. I know the devs are going to phase out the specialist weapons, but also, the sniper class doesn't have rockets to fall back on. Anyways, on most of the maps, you aren't very far away from an ammo box. The good snipers don't really need a...

Okay, I'm having some issues. I've defragged, and that didn't help, so I'm taking drastic measures. I'll probably see you on Legions soon.

Hey Romance, did you have any problems with partitioning?

I've had an idea of a slow-moving heavy tank that has two modes of travel: tank treads and skiing. Basically, the skiing feature would be used for going downhill and partway up another hill, and it wouldn't have any forward thrusters, so you'd be at the mercy of gravity, but I think that would...

And yes, Gheist, we don't need to make this realistic, but we are nerds, and there is no use pretending otherwise. However, it would be good to let this discussion come back to the topic at hand. I don't like the idea of jetpacks being ouchy.

Cold fusion is still really really hot. Cold fusion is just colder than the conditions on the sun, and that's what makes it called Cold Fusion. That would kill people faster than petroleum based jets.

Of the proposed ideas I've seen so far, I'd have to go with the 'bubble around the flag' method, where if you're going fast enough, you can enter it, though for reasonably obvious reasons, anything inside should be able to exit at whatever speed. The bubble, of course would only block members of...

I like this idea. I never did PUGs or competition, but I was always kinda sad when we ended in a tie. I'm a little competitive by nature, so that would satisfy my drive for a clear cut victory even on PUBs, and I agree with Volt, force respawn and flag return for sudden death. Also, I think for...

You can look at how quickly they are approaching or going away based on how fast the numbers are changing. That gives a fairly intuitive feel for how fast they are going, though it may take a while to get used to. This is a good idea, I can see it being quite useful.

Could we please leave health regen out of this thread? On-topic, I have run out of CG ammo, and other ammo, and honestly, in CTF, most of the time you're in a situation to be burning through ammo, there are ammo boxes right there. For DM, though, I can see the pros to ammo drops upon death...

Skypredator, they were saying another objective that a midfield sniper has is to stop osniping. Anyways, back on topic... Would the sensors project onto a mini-map, or would it give IFF on the HUDs? I would prefer keeping a mini-map out of the game, since I think the IFF works well when there's...

I think actually he was trying for more realism. The afterglow would be really hot. However, in response to the actual idea, I don't think it would do much for gameplay. Rarely does anybody follow close enough to make a difference.

my windows DVD should get its hurry on!

Ammo pickups, while being helpful in some game modes in TF2, CTF isn't necessarily about ammo burning, and any position that does require a lot of ammo to be used is right next to an ammo station, and it doesn't even take that long to replenish. The only place where picking up ammo in CTF in...

57 YEARS OF BAD LUCK

The current LR shouldn't need a reduction in energy consumption. All a team needs is one good sniper, though I've been up against a team in a PUB that had three great defensive snipers (I may have already mentioned that :[. ) Anyways, the LR, while not being a great dueling weapon, is great for...

Sentinels could be used to defend their base. In UT, good bombing run teams have defensive players.

For a game like this, something like Bombing run would work, where you pick up the bomb from the center of the map and try to deposit it at a goal in the enemy base. For balance, I think. The carrier wouldn't be able to shoot or throw the bomb except as a targeted pass to a teammate. OD would...

That very one-hit issue is why the old LR is overpowered. No other weapon in Legions, with the exception of the Cluster, can kill an opponent in one hit. The old LR, however, allowed a good sniper to dominate a player from across the map, rather than only at close ranges, so it was in dire need...

I think notebook or whatever the light word processor from Apple can do .txt You just need to 'save as' and under format, change it to .txt
