New Game Mode(s)

[Samual]

#1 and #4, voted #1 though

Yeah, i'm leaning to develop these two. #1/4 sound VERY fun.

I vote for #3 but every idea is great! I dreamed for a long time to realize a city abandoned complex where zombies are searching human flesh for dinner ! And now that z80 is realizing a new blender export could be the right time! IMHO it woul be also good if zombies were bots and survivors were playes (like left for dead), so zombies could be aggressive, fast and unstoppable! However 4 great ideas, compliments!

How about instead of a new game mode, just a modifier - cannibalism! Eat gibs for health!

Too hard, would require bot scripting which I don't know how to do.

No.

Ehh... The idea you suggested sounds tricky at best (And impossible for me to do).. And we probably aren't going to do the assimilation/zombie game mode. I mean the change you suggested to it sounds like LMS in and of itself.

LMS is broken though, your stats are all boosted, you get all weapons but then you can't pick anything up to replenish yourself. Completely un-Nexuiz. LMS should just be about playing the game with a focus on self preservation rather than getting kills as fast as possible. It should only have a different scoring system, not have all of these stats mutators attached to it. I mean, you don't see any changes to health and starting arsenal and pickups when going from deathmatch to keyhunt to ctf to onslaught to domination, so why is LMS so crazy?

Anyway those gametypes I suggested do have similarities to LM, but the other suggestions are very close to DM and KH, so having some more LM-like gametypes might offer more variety, imo.

I believe most the things you were ranting about with LMS are controllable with cvars... Correct me if i'm wrong

But yeah, i'll see which I like best...

[C.Brutail]

Nice ideas, I like 2 and 4 the best.

[Lee_Stricklin]

1 & 2 sound best.

If you plan on doing anything zombie related might I recommend using hordes of aliens and general xenomorphs instead?

I've already said a million times! No hordes of anything! I don't know how to do bot coding and I don't know how to make monsters!

/me adds something explaining this in the main post
