If you could make a MOD....

Just curious see what interesting weapons, functionalities, etc., you all would include in your tribes 2 MOD if you were a l33t MODIFIER.

One thing i might try, is giving the ELF gun the ability to elf and disarm a mortar, midflight, a elfer or two could temporarily stop incoming mortar spam, and maybe as a perk, the mortar would turn blue as it disarmed, fell to the ground, and eventually fade away. It would have its limitations though, requiring the player to have at least a little skill to pull it off.

Anyways, what would you do...

I'd make it just like renegades, but with a few more untracable one hit heavy kill sniper rifles

I can mod, and I have made one. In it, is just things that go out to more extremes than tribes does. For instance, a super-fast armor with infinite energy, invincible to lava, and take no damage to the ground.. but if anything else touches it it's dead. It also can't pick up the flag, but it can drop a nuclear bomb, which is just a satchel that takes 15 seconds to arm, and blows everything in it's path. Then there's an armor that can't move for shit, but can carry the most powerfil gun in the mod, which is like a mortar except with a blast radius 7 times bigger. I also have a gun that is a disc launcher with no blast radius, but does 2 times as much damage, so one MA = dead light. Then there's a super-chaingun which only the superheavy armor can carry, and a super plasma-gun likewise.

Hi i dont bring the funny, if you see me trying to please flame me

I thought of another one:

Perhaps make a Specialized Targeting Laser, that can beacon players and objects and actually display what it is to the rest of the team, the IFF indicator would look like a beacon (a circle) except perhaps its flashing from green to red. Also, i might want confine its use to a single armor, maybe a "recon" armor. So a guy in this recon armor, with the special targ laser could post up on a peak, painting the incoming, or offensivly point out deployables and powered base turrets to friendlies. It would work the same for a mortar, for long range spam, but the most important thing is that it would make that nme player or object clearly visible without being on the local sensor net. Im not sure if moving beacons even work in t2, but they would have to for this idea.

well thx for your input

It takes more skill to shoot a shrike than anything else in this game, so what makes you say get rid of vehicles?

With a missile launcher?

Lightsabers baby

Replace shoot with fire. My bad. I meant that using a shrike takes more skill than anything else in the game, because your aim also changes your movement, unlike when you aim with any weapon.

If I made a mod I'd do something OTHER than just another variation of CTF.

SMASH Mod, Construction, RaceMod, all examples of excellent ideas that expanded upon T2 without going the same route as everyone else.

I'd personally like to see more console games adapted to a T2 environment. Anyone that's ever played Conker's Bad Fur Day on N64 knows how fun the multiplayer games are.

i played ninja mod once. it had smoke grenades. I SAY WE ADD SMOKE GRENADES TO BASE++!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111

I've always wanted the ELF to be like a grappling hook onto vehicles. Like it would autolatch onto a vehicle and you'd swing along behind it (with proper physics of course).

Think of a shrike flying over a flag and it has like 2 cappers riding along behind it.

Or an enemy shrike tries to run you over, and you latch onto it and are sprung really fast in the direction it's going, riding along.

Would be very fun.

I'd make a mod similar to Rabbit, but make some minor changes so that it focuses on dueling more than skiing and chasing. I'd ban the chaingun because that's no fun in duels. Probably the laser too, so you can't camp-snipe. Some other stuff, Mortar and Missile Launcher of course. ELF because everyone knows that sucks in rabbit. I'd make a rule where no one could run. To enforce it, i'd probably make it so if they go so far from where they picked it up they'll die slowly. And now that I picture this in my head, there will probably be alot of MAs being the only weapons left are pretty much projectiles. Maybe some bonus points for MAs would be cool. What do you think?

arena, only without chain/sniper/shield. and direct hits only for disc

Chameleon pack, and the ability to blow off chunks off walls on a building (10 mortars or something like that hit an area in the same spot or close and boom got a whole in the wall so you can bring a base completly down to nothing but a couple of bricks) also have a pack to repair the building some how

I'd make a mod that discouraged taunting and whining and promoted good sportsmanship.

Sounds like a good idea tru. would be cool if someone made something like that. I'd be willing to say I helped and take all the credit

Try KOVmod (Their server is always runing I think, its KOV east i believe).
They have a shrike which can drop 2 bombs at a time (takes all the energy away), and comes complete with bomber crosshairs, unguided missiles, and a chaingun.
Very very fun to play with

Also, I'de make a mod in which there are 4 teams, the first team to get all 4 flags wins the the round (3 rounds in a game). It'd be like CTF with smaller teams, and more teamwork (and if you loss your flag, its not a garunteed point for the other team if they still have theirs).

they had that on tribes 1, it was called Multi-Team CTF, it didnt work exactly the way you described, but pretty much the same.

ive been waiting for something like that to come out for T2

T1 had a few four-team maps. Two of them I think... I forgot the names a long time ago, tho.

Hi i dont bring the funny, if you see me trying to please flame me

a would make a small deployable platform, maybe an oversized flag stand on top of which would be several repair patches and kits. The best place to position these would be on the post-capping route, or the most common route a capper might follow after grabbing the flag. I could see how this would serve useful in other situations as well.

if I could make a mod...

..first, I'd neve leave the house, cut off al spources of light in my room, and code like a bitch.

and second, I'd add swords to play.

Can you imagine flying through the air, and the you see this dude flying at you with a sword, and he cuts you in two in mid-air?

...imagine seeing that from below

ahhh...bliss...

Tribes2 needs swords, someone steal a lightsabre from JK2 and put it in.

Controlling a sword in a FPS is stupid. JK2 was excessively stupid. That one mod for UT had a decent sword... but it was still pretty dumb because it's a sword in an FPS.

A mod without whiners.

i think one was just called 4 way broadside, could be wrong, been a long time, but 4 teams made it interesting
