Haste for 0.7! (Last minute request)

I think it would give some depth to CTF gameplay.

It would be the perfect replacement for BS in wctf3.

My suggestions for it:

Spawntime: 90
Dropable: Yes

Effects:

- Higher walkspeed (350)
- Higher dash speed (500)
- Stun immunity
- No selfdamage

sounds cool somehow

I think we were promised jetpacks as well.

<@warsow> clownFart asked: Is there any plans to include jetpacks in the next release?
<@warsow> crizis answers: Maybe when duke nukem forever gets released

i dont think its worth the work tbh (creating new item isnt that simple ;))

- lack of speed is hardly an issue in warsow - more often its the opposite.

- would be more interesting to get more original and team oriented powerups.

Here are some more ideas for powerups:

Vampire

100% of the damage you deal goes to your health (max 200)

Robin Hood

Works same way as Vampire powerup, but you give the health not to yourself but to your teammates (will be split equally unless someone is carrying flag or other powerup, in that case all goes to him) But it always goes to just teammates, Robin Hood can never give hp to himself.

Health addict

Every health you pick will be 300% as effective (50hp = +150, MH = +200, 5hp = +15hp etc)

Zombie

You can be killed, but you will respawn to the spot you died at. You can keep 1 weapon from your old weaponset (the best) but nothing else. If you die again, this will continue. Undropable powerup

Troll (works only in CTF)

Enemy team will have team damage on for their team for 1 minute.

tbh the main thing I liked on the idea was the nostun and noselfdamage

maybe these two things should just be added to the warshell

SolidFake: I see you never played wctf3 games.

lol yeah boost bs plx, 25% dmg too stronk

I think its easiest to do this via gametype scripts. I'm sure you can do the haste powerup quite easily.

It will also be the fastest way for you to actually test it out as devs are focussed on doing the release.

I really have never, because the map is shit imo. Jokes on you.

Point is that BS is already overpowered and makes the map to be one BS-fest. Buffing Battlesuit should be completely out of question

i think this idea could give some more action and popularity on secoundary gametypes aswel

Crizis actually said he could do it if he had time, some time ago.. but we don't know if he has the time to do it :)

Doing items isn't that simple as it may sound, there's more work involved than many could probably guess. Basic item code is somewhat simple, however then comes things like making chasecam/tv work propely with powerup carrier, multiple powerup carriers, combination of these powerups (yes, these things don't "just work" by doing nothing), then comes the joy of making the model, each powerup also has sounds, hud icons, simple items... all in all, it's a lot of work and not just matter of 5 minutes of hacking.

I did do regeneration for 0.7, but its still missing the model and sounds are crappy...

How about this model as regeneration? (original post)

No :D

Looks pretty god damn stupid to me, that model..

IT'S A THERMAL DETONATOR!!
