[NEWS] Developer Blog 1: Multiplayer Gamemodes

[GraphX of GZ wow]

Zombie mod is going to be nice, will bring lots of players ^^ of course if will be done well, i'd like to play sam as zombie

Also, imagine 42 players on little trouble

[Prottoss of GZ wow]

i came up with another idea inspired by a film called Predator, so:

Predator
From 4+ players on the server the game should be allowed to start. So randomly selected out of 4 or more players will be selected 1 player thats gonna be a predator. That player will have constant invisibility pup unless he opens fire or if he becomes in contact with water. The map could be a jungle or any other map or any classic map
So the Predator will have OVERPOWERED knife and sniper which would do double or triple damage. Predator might have like 200 or more HP and have mega armor maybe like 500 xD. Also the predator would not be able to activate his invisibility again for 20-30 seconds after being uncovered by his fire output or contact with water.
Objective of the hunted by predator players is obviusly to kill him, BUT each player will have different set of weapons and different ammount of HP/Armor but not more that the standard of 200/200 on normal and higher diff.
Let say 4 players are being hunted, 1 is predator, SO 1 player might have 2 pistols, knife and a pump shotgun, 2nd player might have a shotgun, knife, chainsaw and 1 pistol, 3rd player would have a minigun, a pump shotgun and a knife, 4th player could have a lazer gun, knife and maybe a flamethrower. So players with different sets of weapons would have to work together to kill predator, or predator must be smarter, quicker, to kill the enemy team.
oh yes and a infrared option of vision for predator player

is this asking for too much? xD would be really fun i would imagine

I think you can not deny the success of rocket jumping in FE. So if that would somehow be used in REV I think it would be smart.

For the rest,.. not too much modes; or maybe add them IF and ONLY IF the game really is popular and much more players start playing. Otherwise you'll get tons of hardly used modes and almost empty servers. Whats wrong with releasing a game and make sure you get some updates once in a while for new game modes / maps / etc.

I agree

and who's schwarzenegger?

[Scratch]

So like.. The Hidden. Lots of people are suggesting we basically remake The Hidden, haha.

[Prottoss of GZ wow]

and who's schwarzenegger?

i guess one of the random players would have to be just a bit stronger

[AmcoTraD]

Mods, aint nobody got time for that...

I only play sam because of its simple classic gameplay,
i would never enjoy to play trickjump maps, zombie hunting or whatever,
there are enough other games with these options,


Take a look back in the past 10 years, people used to play the classic sam most of time,
it is the only mode that survived...

and who's schwarzenegger?

i am

I remember playing a such kind of game on a fun map on CSS.. there was a sort of jungle and wooden houses and there was only one invisible terrorist who had to hunt the CTs.. he only had the knife but he was faster and had the easybunny too. Only his shadow was visible so we had to enlight the area with the torch..
I found this map really funny, it's always surprising when you watch everywhere and suddently see that shadow heading towards you you barely have the time to counter attack
A such mode would definitely be funny.

i think if angelo will develop all these modifications we will see ss revo in 2020, no more modifications please

Revo needs players that enjoy the basics of the game. It's old and the game modes described are already present in other ("better?") games. For us it's fun to see new modes in the old sam style, but I doubt that others will look at it the same way.

01-01-2014 the game should be for sale, let the rest just be updates
If not, go to a business school and ask if its smart to design a fully completed product and go to the market, or if they advice to bring in the basic product and then keep making it better (according to the needs of the users)

Just an advice little dutchy

Ghost Mode

Team A can pick up guns and must search for Team B before they plant C4. However Team B could only have knives and could not pick up guns. They would be invisible when not moving but when they start moving they become visible (possibly more visible when they run fast).This gamemode would be round-based.

If it's not possible as a round-based gamemode then it could be a nice alternative to Team Deathmatch.

I'd really love seeing Zombie Mode aswell because it's nearly part of every game and it's one of the funniest mode including fun maps like bhop maps in CSS or some similar games.

[Prottoss of GZ wow]

Zombie mode exists for classic lol
