changing equipment

Well, then I guess I have more of a case.  :)

Only time will tell how useful this rappel for mercs can really be.  When the devs reveal some details about the other maps, or when it goes into beta, we'll see if there are some good and useful spots for it.  But I don't think that the devs should make their maps based on a rappel going in.  Not that they were but I'm just saying lol

Actually, there won't be a way to snipe the objective from the Dock. Our map design doesnt differ much in actual changes in geometry, but the changes to the gameplay will be considerable.

Nah, he didn't pwn him.  Rambo didn't know.  Neither did I, or you, or most people here.  This is how flame wars start.  And as much as I'd love to have one right now (:D) I don't think it's a good time.

Is it just me, or are we all fantasising here? There is no way the development team are going to be able to manage something like a rappel with their resources. They arnt creating a game like Crysis  ::)

So yea...your assumption is shitty.

This is kinda counter productive (regarding general forum policy, not just Westfall) and immature. Everyone says something idiotic at some time or other, so please be more reserved in your responses.  This way 'flame-wars' dont get started  :-\

i'm not stating that a rappel has no use, i'm stating that (with only 4 slots and a ct-like map layout) i'd never give up any other gadget for it. why do i have to repeat myself 10 times before any actually reads my posts instead of flame them?

The forum doesn't need any more moderators than it already has (as was told in the 'Join Us' section). The last thing I need to be told is something by some1 who JUST got here and doesn't know the background of all the members. Mind yourself and not that of others for it is not your responsibility.

This forum is also strictly for Project Stealth, so lets keep it related towards that yea?

Rappel is quite useful in very critical situations. Instead of having to run towards an elevator, rappel over the ledge that just happens to be in front of you. Heres a new question I pose: What if a spy is hanging from a ledge and the merc rappels right in front of him? Will the animations collide? Does the merc need to give a second before he can actually hook up the rappel giving the tie decision in the spy's favor?

[Farley4Fan]

No one's flaming you, except for Burning Death and that wasn't even a total assault on you haha  :D

I read your posts and I agreed with most of them on this thread at least.  

As for Westfall, that's a bit far in the future to consider those scenarios eh?  But to give my two cents, I think that the merc would be grabbed before he can even rappel.  A spy who knows what he's doing isn't going to wait for him to set up his rope, but instead he'll just grab him right off the bat.  To answer your question with my opinion I think that if that does happen, which I don't think it will be all that common, they should both fall to the ground.  The spy should be able to get up first because if the merc gets up first the spy is dead, and the merc and the spy basically tied that little moment if you know what I mean.  And if the spy gets up first he can get away and it can all start over even stevens.

westfall addresses a good point here: there would come tons of new bugs/imbalances/etc next to much animation work with implementing just such a little new feature. so we should really be sure that it actually improves gameplay before thinking about implementing it.

The fact is, calling someones assumption shitty has absolutely no benefit towards ps, so just don't write it. You were just an example, Westfall. Although, from the little background i have on you, you dont seem to be a very nice person or very mature :-\.
The impression i got from Gk and others was that they don't read these pages very often and the reason i couldnt become a mod was because it was unfair as im too new. We dont want this site turning into sclamers, so don't oppose someone filling a de facto mod role, helping to keep the topics focused and amicable.

[Gawain]

and you honestly think that this post of you has?

[Westfall]

The fact is, calling someones assumption shitty has absolutely no benefit towards ps, so just don't write it. This is not sclamers. You were just an example, Westfall. It doesnt take me to know your background to realise that you dont seem to be a very nice person though  :-\.

I'm actually quite a delightful person. It takes some1's ignorance to consider assumptions as you posed. Why don't you look at the post prior and tell Rambo his post wasn't within the confines of the PS guidelines...oh wait, thats right....frvge is the moderator. Quit preachin and talk about PS.

@ Papa: I know it may be early in the development, but the idea came to me and I might as well type it now instead of forgetting it ;)

Yeah, I'm honestly not sure if it'd be possible to animate well or not.

Certainly a good reason not to include it though if it's too difficult to animate.

[frvge]

I do think some over here are getting a bit on my nerves. To list them: Gawain/Rambo and Papa Skull. Some others are close to it. There are no rules with regards to warnings, but because it's that arbitrary, I can warn whenever I like for any reason. It hasn't happened so far, and I hope I dont have to in the future. So for the two listed: please read the paragraph below very carefully.

A word of advice: if you think the other is acting like a fool, don't post your own version. You can PM me if you are 100% sure your version is better. Just don't let the thread get into a flamewar. And don't act like flamebait. I don't like to actually have rules here, so be a bit more wise with the amount of freedom you have. If this continues I don't mind narrowing that freedom down for just the two of you until you learn how to not be an ass in your behaviour with fellow forum-members and most importantly: with eachother.

Thank you.

frvge, did it ever occur to u that there are people like me who are more insulted/annoyed by pure ignorance than by being called names? but obviously i'm living in a soceity that is totally ok with stupidity and ignorance but cares about the choice of words as if it was something holy.

Apparently you completely ignored his post and didn't read a thing he said.  PM him if you feel the need.

I got it Frvge, it's useless to try anyways.
