Dude.  Realism = Poop

suction cup ftw lol

[Gawain]

maybe adding little spikes would look "next gen" lol

[Daybreak]

The landing cone is seprate and has a spring/cushion/goop that protects the camera and... Didn't you read the little description. It's flawless. Would it actually work in real life, probably not. But in game world it makes sense. Just how Carbonantium is a word. Just accept it.

ehm.. I dont know anyone who ever reads descriptions like this. Its cool - I agree - but it has nothing to do with the game

that's why i don't care about fancy fake descriptions. but we really have to create a good tutorial for the newbis explaining all the game mechanics, thus including gadgets.

Yeah tutorial is super important. Something like sticky cams may not need a huge tutorial though, so long as the buttons are explained. Sticky cams are for the most part, something you can practice with on your own. All you really need to know is that the gas KOs a merc.

It's the invisible iteractive stuff like alarm snares, sound making/detecting, etc. that really needs to be explained.

My post is in reference to someone mentioning how a the cone protects the cam and i responded with what was written in my blurb. Which was nothing short of game magic.

As for the fake description ya it's just nice to have. I posted the idea because we can't use the model from CT or PT so I went ahead and made a different GAS cam model. This really doesn't have anything to do with the gameplay, it was not my intent. It was literally, my design for a new gas cam.

Just like we needed a new merc and spy, we'll need new looks for the gadgets. This thread was and is turning into a "we need tutorial" and "needs to be balanced" discussion. I think we should be focussing on the physical looks of the existing gadgets before new ones to be added. And since the gascam is the most used gadget second to nades for mercs. Voila.

I like the spike idea.  I made this concept model to kind of show what I meant.  Notice the gas tank and sprayer on the outside of the cam. 
What do ya think?

[Daybreak]

Interesting. I think it'd look better if the tank sprayer was actually made within the camera's shell.
One my other ideas was instead of the landing cone, it'd be like a tripod with sticky feet that would land like space ship and cushion the camera.
Basically it looked like that except it had knees.

[Farley4Fan]

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.  Kind of like a war of the worlds tripod thing...

If you go far with the tripod idea you think about making the sticky cam able to move.  This is just an idea, I though it would be cool.  When the sticky cam is moving it loses a battery life of some sort, if you move it too much it loses its ability to move the camera and look through visions, but it still can fire its gas.  It looks cool imo...

This would be useful when there is a merc JUST out of range of the gas so you can move the camera closer to him.  This would trigger the merc's reticule and make a distinct buzzing noise.


BTW I just realized that it is VERY easy for me to draw things like this, so you may see some more in the future that you guys suggest.

[SITHDUKE]

Rofl, sticky cams with legs. :D How does a cone allow it to stick to a wall and not damage the camera? Project Stealth physics, that's how.  :P

[Farley4Fan]

Yeah well it was sort of a brainstorm/idea/joke.

[Westfall]

Why not around the lens of the cam there just be vents that spray the gas as opposed to the tanks chamber. Or why not have 3 seperate little spray nozzles that shot it out around the lens. I think the spraying of the gas should come around the lens.

[Westfall]

New Gadget I'm throwing out there.

Gas Nade/Mine for merc. Either would explode and only need 3 secs. of exposure for the spy to fall asleep. Sp wakes up after 5-10 sec.

-Discuss....

well, shouldnt the merc be this lethal, not a sissy guy ?
