New game mode: Tag

[nopyo]

I think it would be fun to play tag in DP, it's a new game mode that I already voted for in the feature vote thread, but it was pretty much ignored after 3 posts, so that's why I'm starting this thread. If you like the idea, please vote for it in the feature vote thread. Here's how it works:

It's just like tag in elementary school, but with guns (PGPs). Each player starts out with 30 pts, you lose 1 pt for every second you're "it", once your score reaches 0, you're out of the game, then the server ramdomly picks another person to be "it". The person that's "it" will be red, and everyone else could be blue. When it comes down to the last 2 people, each of them only gets 5 pts in like kind of a sudden death match. Last man standing wins.

Suggestions on how to improve this is greatly appreciated.

I like the idea but I think it may be hard to code since paintballs normally eliminate a person but hey what do I know.

Can't be that hard, seen as though there is a server side setting to turn off kills...

It wasn't "pretty much ignored" you posted it in February but nobody voted for it, you know why? Because the idea is to vote for the most pressing, important, features first.  Faster downloads, better textures, bug fixes, etc.  A lot of people are aware of your tag game mode, as well as several other game modes that got no votes, which is great, it means people actually care about improving the game before packing it full of Jehovah-knows-what.

Yeah you're right, the feature vote is for essential game-improving features, maybe  there could be another vote for "you know what would be fun?" features, then all the votes about game modes, gun models etc. can go in there. Just suggesting.

Vote for "make a 'you know what would be fun?' thread" on the feature vote.

[nopyo]

lol, do you really need a developer to start a thread?

DaRkNeSS why don't we calm down with the personal attacks okay?

tag would be cooler if you had to touch them...like tony hawk proskater
but it still wouldnt be played much because good players would just do a fancy jump and noone would get them

[Cobo]

Touching someone has nothing to do with paintball.
The game is about shooting paintballs.
So if this game mode was made, it wouldnt be by touching other players.

[nopyo]

1st of all: lmfao @ darkness.
2nd of all: maybe both touching and shooting.
...hopefully that came out right...

[nightryder]

i like to touch...hopefully that came out wrong

This is about the third or fourth time it's been proposed. It could be interesting on the right maps, but I think people will prefer to play standard CTF.

[sky.rider]

[nopyo]

ask me some stuff you dont understand, i'll try to answer them.
