It would be neat to be able to carry Shields.

Explain yourself.

Well just hate getting spawn killed all the time.

Thats more of a problem with the design of maps and perhaps low respawn times, shields don't really fit into this game!

Well is there a way to protect the spawner for like 3to 5 sec after spawn?

It's been talked about for years and years.  Personally, I think that with maps that spawn you with or right beside gear it's too much of an advantage for the people spawning.  I can see it's potential for use in gametypes like koth since the other team shouldn't be camping your spawn area, and *maybe* dm since you do some serious spawn rape with a carbine or better, but not for CTF.

Stop suggesting stupid excrement. Where in any paintball have you seen people able to use shields?

is this along the lines of super mario, when if you run into a mushroom you cant be hurt for a couple seconds??
except of course right when you spawn.

Scope please stop thinking up new ideas.

Agreed. It would be interesting to see how the game would be played if it took more than one shot to eliminate a player, though.

wouldn't that just turn dp into a regular q2 mod?? or using the chaingun but it spray 200 rounds of paint instead of lining 200 paint?

it would be interesting to see how it affect gameplay itself but i thought the one shot kill is what made the dp q2 mod interesting

I think it's both what makes the gameplay and kills it. :P

Perhaps we can even get some special power boosts like the stars in mario?  Who knows, maybe we could get some rubber jerseys that bounce the paintballs back at the enemies.

We should implement medics so we can have uber charges like in TF2!!! [/sarcasm]

A medic in Paintball would be like a person with a box of tissues to wipe off paintballs.

So that means since DaRkNeSS haven't put [/sarcasm] in his post that he means it?

All scope does is plays other games and then thinks, "Wow, this needs to be in every game..."  Scope in some of your previous post you were discussing realistic things that should be added, but I have a question for you... have you ever seen shields being used in a paint ball tournament?
