Dead Bodies Staying In Game - Interesting~~~

You also seem to want to drasticallty change PS from what CT was. Many people it should be nothing more then a Shiny CT SvM with some bug fixes, balances and minor changes.

That's exactly what we are shooting for, for the initial release, once we get to that point we might try to expand it. But first we have to get there.

papa, what you seem not to get is that it's very unlikley for you with your very limited idea of svm to come up with good ideas. you totally lack understanding for the depth of svm so you want to add something new. it's like playing chess with your 10yo sister and just because it get's boring after a little while you decide to change the rules, add a new pawn,...

Why not?  If it keeps Chess fresh, but it's still balanced, then why the hell not?

 I think of CT as a nice old car.  It's not completely broken down, but it could use some refreshment and a few new features.  Like a MP3 player, a sun roof, new wheels, and a fixed up engine.  It's still basically the same car, but it's got some new stuff to keep it nice for an even longer time than the old car had.

That's fine if it's just a chrome finished CT.  That's totally awesome and I'd still play it and probably love it.  But don't you want to make it as good as it can be?  By adding more features and depth that are still balanced and make the gameplay much more varied it could be just freaking awesome.  I have faith in your level designers to make some great maps with great atmospheres, but I think that some blood and dead bodies coupled with eerie lighting could make some freaking intense maps.

Drastically?  Do you think that letting bodies stay in place for the whole game is going to drastically change the gameplay?  It wouldn't.  And that's the thing.  Why not?  Why not let them stay?  Would it make spies unbalanced, or mercs unbalanced?  No.  It's still the same game.  This is a minor change, a minor addition.  I just think it would be cool if you could see someone's dead body, in a pool of blood, and it just stays there the whole game, just like a real dead body would.

Maybe spies could be like that too.  Like there is a truck that they jump out of when they spawn.

[InvisibleMan999]

Heh, well there really is a truck full of spies, who foolishly send their spies in 2 at a time, even though element of surprise has been lost.

Stupid? Yeah. but the game isn't supposed to be realistic.

[Farley4Fan]

Lmao!  :D Not exactly like that, more like this.  ;D

[MFCISFUNNY]

lol freakin awesome papa. maybe u can grab some nades from the mercs backpack instead and toss them in front of you!

[MulleDK19]

LOL... Let's make it realistic... Respawners, like in UT3 :D lol.

Brilliant idea! Though maybe I am not imagining it correctly, it seems like a pretty cool idea. Will spies be able to do the same thing? If so, how will the Mercenaries avoid the spies from doing this? Will they hull the bodies on their backs? ^^. Stay kewl.

Its actually not a good idea for this type of game. I hope you read the entire thread be4 coming here and saying "Stay kewl" to everyone.
