New game mode

[Digital-Maniac]

I don't know why but there are times that SCCT felt to me like it would work as a "Cops & Robbers" kind of game. 

How could you add a "cops & robbers" mode?
Add NYPD patches to the Merc uniforms
Give the spies a diff look

new character designs wont happen until well after 1.0 version is released.

Maybe someone can mod our mod for that. ;)

Open source!

Open source!

As much as I love Open Source, it's not a good idea for multiplayer games :P

1: It makes it a lot easier to cheat
2: On actual modding, any anti-cheat system would(and should) send a nuke your way, unless modding is supported.

Hmmm, interesting...  I don't think we'll have to change the looks of the models to make it work.  I'll give some input on the idea:

Maybe the spies would have the ability to get on their knees if they surrender?  Maybe if the spy surrenders the merc can cuff the spy and push him?  Then the merc could push him into a containment cell.  If both spies get captured and put into the containment cell, or if all spies are eliminated, the round is over.  You get more points for capturing them rather than killing them. 

The spies can get points for stealing certain objects around the map (money, gold bars, etc...) and the mercs can put a few tracking devices on the objects.  If the spy picks up and attempts to steal the object, the location is put on the radar or the mercs.  If the spies steal 3 objects then they win the round.  Maybe the spies can also complete objectives by blowing stuff up, but not for hacking terminals.

Maybe the spies can also win the round if both mercs are killed.  Possibly, the best out of 5 rounds wins the whole match.  Also, no mines would be allowed.  It would make it too easy for the mercs especially with nerfed chaff and how spies only have 1 life.

What if you made it where the spies can hack into the containment cells and free their partners?  Also, they can pick locks of handcuffs if they free their partner from the merc.  When handcuffed, spies can run around, jump, roll (maybe), but they can't grab onto things or climb things.  They have to have their teammate pick them free.  Unless they can find the key that a dead merc dropped or something.  I don't know, just giving ideas.

Wow.  This could end up to be extremely freaking fun if you ask me!  Doesn't really fit CT's style, but this isn't CT.  A nice alternative to story mode.

Dont mean to rain or your parade, but IMO its sounds Kind of retarded. However Maybe the spies have to free hostages, whist the mercs prevent them from being rescued?

technically not possible

-they would need to have access to the source files of the characters.

I think it would be fun.  Freeing hostages means more modeling would have to be done.  Unless of course, the spies would be freeing spies.  And when a spy is kept in a containment cell, the spy is basically a hostage, then his partner has to free him.  Kind of like your idea.

[Tidenburg]

It would also mean alot of extra work for a relativly confusing gametype which can't be simply done like other game mode suggestions which are usually just varied versions of existing game mode concepts.

[Farley4Fan]

The only extra work would be animations for cuffing/pushing spies and for having spies surrender.  Also modeling the containment cells.  That's about it.  The rest is already existing.

that game mode is called jail break, theres a mod for ut2004 and quake 3, its very fun and a very good idea to implement as a alternative game mode, way better than DM that is.

Disk Hunt, anyone??

[Farley4Fan]

Ewww...  Disk hunt was like a videogame version of scavenger hunt.  No thanks.
