it would totally screw balance on all the maps we know. you simpy can't design a map for both types of spy eq.

It is possible, and remember that PS will NOT have CT maps.

Maps won't be designed like aqua gimp.

That was simply an example. He can probably come up with one for every map in the game.

It's probably safe to say that PS maps will be similar in style to those in PT/CT.

I'd say similar to CT in layout, and same feel like in PT.

Had a discussion about the same thing on XFire, can't remember with who it was again :S

ZOMG H0LY SHIT MAJoR BUMPZOR!!!!11!1 :D

This needs some more discussion.

Whether you guys already decided on it or discussed it more in xfire or something I don't know. I say let's work out the kinks and really try to get an alternative to the ss going. I for one would love it because it adds some variety to the game. Of course, it depends on how it's implemented. Let's just say for a moment that it's implemented perfectly, balanced, and in a fun way. Why not?

It needs testing imo. A lot of testing. It would put a little bit bigger of a load on our map designers to keep it balanced for all situations, but I have faith in them.

I dont know why people bringing this electric glove "back up". I already decided that the glove wasn't going to be used, and most people didn't like the idea. I personally dont like the idea, but aslong as it IS an alternative to SS, i don't see why it shouldnt be implemented.

WTF THE CT MAPS ARENT BEING REMADE FOR PS?!

Farley4Fan · March 07, 2008, 05:20:33 PM

Wtf man? Of course they aren't. I'm sure some will have some inspiration from previous maps. I do not get your post before that, you contradicted yourself like twice.

Hybrid Circle · March 07, 2008, 05:27:53 PM

I'm ALL for remote hack and activity. Standing right on an objective in CT was lame.

Farley4Fan · March 07, 2008, 05:29:20 PM

Well, it wasn't lame. It's just that with more options and ways to hack it would make it better imo.

what exactly makes you sure that it's possible?
i'm all for a new remote hacking game mode but with its own maps and settings...

Take PTmuse, add some leveling like CTmissile3, add some paths that make sense and there you are.

Yea, if the devs are industrious (sp?) enough to make a second game mode with remote hacking, I'd be all for it. However, I worry about how such a glove would fit into the current gamestyle, in that it might make the game way too boring for the mercs.

Again, please stop with the "gmo PS will not have CT maps." Assuming that the core gameplay is there, the maps in PS are going to be very similar in style to the ones we see in PT/CT.

What exactly makes you sure that it isn't possible? Stop living in the past, it's ALL NEW STUFF guys. The maps can be built around and designed for balance for new gadgets/features. A new game mode just for remote hacking would be good also. Only the map makers can really know if it's possible or not. And even then, they don't know what the glove would be like yet. Spekkio, there were few maps that were totally balanced, so you can count on a lot of differences if you want to see all balanced maps. (which may not even be possible)

Spekkio · March 07, 2008, 09:50:21 PM

How would balanced maps be impossible? That would mean the entire premise of the game is broken.

Yes, there are imbalanced maps in PT/CT, but there are also relatively balanced maps as well. There's quite a bit of variety among them, but there are certain core elements that they share. Those core elements are going to be components of any future maps as well.
