Air combo counter

[mand1nga]

Some days ago I came up with the idea of having in the hud a counter for air combos.

I imagine it as a simple and non invasive text message saying something like N hits combo! when you hit an enemy many times in the air.

I think it should be very funny and rewarding, also this can push us a little more for making even larger air combos

What do you think?

I think Nexuiz can have many client-side stats. like number of km/miles walked, number of jumps, hang-time, frags, sprees, etc. Maybe even a leveling system like COD4
But you should not gain an advantage with higher level, so it's only a number to show off.

I love the idea, really cool! xD

Exactly, this is a very simple concept, just a message telling you how many hits you made. Maybe using a new sound every time that message is displayed. I don't think we need a new announcer for this because we already have one for mid air shots.

This should be the same effect as the "3,5 frag combo" announcer, but in text mode

Maybe this could be added in the patch that shows accuracy for hitscans. If it isn't too hard to do then adding air hits as well. Would be cool.

Yes you are right ai, this should be a lot easier to do if we can reuse the work that Icarus made.

Just for fun, why not have a "maximum speed gained" as well that shows the highest speed you've managed to get.

That changes too often, and will severely hog bandwidth.

Make it count client side only if it is possible.
