NS2 Realism Mod

godriflegodrifle Join Date: 2006-12-01 Member: 58815Members
If the title of this thread makes you laugh, then you're getting the concept of the thread. Let's throw game design and balance out the window, and suggest realistic changes for this realism mod.

-You can print out as many marines as you want with the infantry portal. The game should be like 90v10.
-More leg room in the Exo.
-Skulks now make a really loud sound when they're wall walking, and leave footprint decals on the wall.
-If an Onos jumps into a hive, the hive screams like when it's dying and it screams "Nooo it won't fit! STOP IT YOU'RE HURTING ME!!"
-The devs have made it a point that the Kharaa aren't necessarily evil, so the aliens should not only have an evil chuckle taunt, but a good hearted laugh as well. I mean imagine that.

    Due to the shape of the skulk's head and the placement of its eyes, they lack binocular vision. The player view is split into a left and a right screen, with a 10 degree blind spot in the center.

    Gorges and Onos have it even worse, and get a 20+ degree blind spot.

    The entire TSF organisation is disbanded and replaced with 6 soldiers from Archaea.

    OR skulks really have eyes in their mouth and the mod simply adds a small model and skin change to the skulk.
    Same for gorges and lerks.
    ...they would look so creepy....

    -Handheld Arc rifles.
    -Similar to med pack drops, the commander can drop live grenades onto aliens now.

    - replace spectators with alien rights protesters. Armed with SIGNS and LIBERAL ARTS DEGREES. Special ability, from a human chain to defend the hive.

    - give lerk giant chipmunk cheeks so it can actually hold all those damn spikes. Fastest known bone growth is 1/4 inch per day for the antlers of some deer.

    - replace gorge heal speeding player evolution with gorge egg incubation.

    ... Man I'm gonna have fun here.

    Patch Notes

    -Marines now cower in corner covered in tears and slobber realistically because they are being hunted by flesh eating invisible silent monsters
    -Aliens now no longer have any team based chat because they are stupid aliens, they don't know how to use teamwork
    -Marines now trip after sprinting up stairs or over objects
    -Exos must now be built over the course of 8 in game hours
    -Sentry turrets now have unreliable firmware causing them to rip marines apart from time to time
    -Hive now rolls around on floor because there is no way those 3 spindly fuckers would hold up like that
    -Marine commander now hallucinates and is utterly useless as he is sitting in a black box hearing all his friends die terrible deaths outside
    -Onos now shoot dung out rapidly when sprinting
    -Onos tusk attack now impales a marine sending his guts flying

    Marines have fights over who gets in the comm chair because everybody wants the safety of the steel box.

    Aliens Infestation kills marines over time while they touch it, as each Kharaa Micro-organism has a mind of it's own, and dislikes marines extremely.

    aliens can no longer 'cut power' - they are animals.

    I think you'd be surprised how often animals do that.

    - oni can be captured, saddled, an ridden into battle. We are in Mongol space after all. Where is the cavalry?

    -Bitten/Gored/Impaled Marines bleed out till death.
    -Fades take damage when they Shadow-step into walls.
    -Fall damage.
    -Bipedal creatures can trip and fall over (effect similar to Stomp).
    -Gorge Spit doesn't fade away.
    -Marines can mount Onos.
    -Lerks can carry Marines, Skulks, Gorges, and eggs.

    Nice one OP, title is pretty funny.

    I am fairly sure they WILL nuke IF marines lost a match in NS2 aswell. Its just we wont experience that nuke, as we as those marines ingame... are dead.

    I can imagine marines using oxygen masks and simply shooting a window to remove atmosphere.

    Skulks have a high metabolism (they have to, jumping around at a billion miles per hour up the walls and such). As a result, they need to eat an enormous amount of food. If a skulk fails to eat at least one marine every minute, they rapidly die of starvation.

    Beacon sends a distress call which takes over 10 years to reach the nearest outpost.

    Let's be realistic, there are no phase gates or infantry portals in real life.
    - It's 2013
    - TSF removed, they are US marines now.
    - Kharaa removed, they are dogs, hippos, elephants etc.
    - NS2 is now SAFARI HUNT.

    - Marines must follow rules of engagement (RoE).
      Move to area when ordered. Hold area if awaiting orders. Engage targets in defense on an area upon sight. Offensively, prioritize targets based on the current objective. A structure may supercede a hostile lifeform in terms of priority. Do not engage bacterium cysts/structures. when attempting a stealth phasegate insertion. When in doubt, identify the senior field marine and emulate their actions.

    feel free to add more.

    Hot damn fonz, if only.

    Before joining marines you must fill out the 500 odd pieces of vaguely related paperwork and legal documents followed by a 3 month training programme. Also +1 on the good natured laugh.
