Hall Of Shame

<div class="IPBDescription">Ideas that should never be used. Ever.</div> (I originaly posted this in the a different form by accident.)

1. There should never be a level created that has a bathroom. I think we can all understand what would happen if 5 out of the 14 people playing are around 13 years old. *Shutter*

2. Replacing the knife with a weed whacker. While this would be kinda funny, I don't think I want to get that close to a fade armed only with a common gardening tool.

3. A karokie (Sp?) machine in the ready room. Oh, sure, it might be cool to hear the Marine fight song after a win, but do you really want to hear a gorge try to sing “Staying alive?”

4. Corporate sponsors. Ask for a med pack and get a can of Pepsi......

5. A one hour lunch break.
Here is what this would look like:

A fade is charging a marine who suddenly runs out of ammo. The fade rushes faster toward the marine who is now backing away. The marine trips! The fade lunges in for the kill, he can almost taste the humans blood! He extends his mighty claws! Then suddenly! A whistle sounds and a voice over the intercom says "Lunch break, half an hour!"

The Fade stops and says "Almost had you that time fank." Chuckling as he helps the human off the ground and dusting off his armor. "Yah," Frank says. "Wish my comm would give me ammo when I ask for it." He then said "I woul've had you if my gun had been upgraded.", grinning.
The two walk side by side toward the lunch room, chatting and laughing.
(Well, if the lunch break was only 5 min long it would be ok. I Need to eat to keep my trigger finger ready ya know!)

6. Skulk football or Onos riding.

7. Do _NOT_ add cheerleaders to the Marine side. Yes it would make the humans feel better after 5 stright losses, but their cheers would get REALLY annoying when you are trying to listen to your buddies over the com.

That is all for now. Feel free to add your own bad (but funny) ideas to the list.

    "NO CHECKING! NO CHECKING!"

    How about a gigantic knife for the marines? So heavy, it takes TWO marines to use, but it can CLEAVE AN ONOS IN TWO! Oh, and if one of them drops it, the other one gets smashed in a nice little shower of non-gore.

    They should never make it so that the Kharaa "faint" when their hp is 0, and get "woken up" by the hive.
    On a side note, giving the marines pokeballs is crazy. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    ns_BootCamp, where both teams never meet, but can join a variety of excersizes and prepare for battle.

    <b>Marines</b>
    <u>Basic Courses</u>

    - Vent Crawling

    - Firing Range

    - Ten Mile Run (Five Mile Walk for our armored companions)

    - Obstacle Course (Including obstacles such as: 10,000 volt loose electrical cables, Absolute Zero vacuum chamber, bottomless pits, and 'What's on My shoe: Biohazardous Spills')

    - The Joy of Welding

    <u>Optional Courses</u>

    - Why me? Our instructers explain why you're unfortunate enough to become one with a poorly placed sentry turret.

    - Jose Vasquez teaches: "BONSAI! The interactive beginners course to knife fighting."

    - To Unionize or Not: TSA Frontiersmen debate weather or not to unionize.

    <i>(Okay, if you don't understand this joke, unionizing would mean that you'd need to call a specific group of marines to come forth and build a structure, but who wouldn't fire or fight at all, because it's not in their contract. Another marine would do nothing but weld, but if it wasn't your job, you wouldn't be able to perform it, or you'd get fired. Unions can even be so specific that one marine would tighten bolts, while another would hit things with a hammer. PS: Unionizing means less work gets done in more time and costs much more money.)</i>

    - The Technological Wormhole: Seminar on 'Why we're using pre-2000 technology two hundred years in the future'.

    - Top R&D scientist John Rosha explains why it is necessary to glue armor and jetpacks to your body, such that they may never be removed.

    - Mind over Madness: Are your commander controls infuriating? Do you get annoyed by the menial tasks that you are forced to perform, resulting in more lost battles? Taught by ChoHi Menh, reknowned Yoga master, this week-long session teaches you how to release stress by sending real human lives to their doom.

    <b>Kharaa</b>
    <u>Basic Courses</u>

    - Jaw Exercising: How to bite through nano-metal, but avoid biting your tongue.

    - Vacuum Survival: How to magically infest a starship traveling through the hostile void of space.

    <u>Optional Courses</u>

    - Gestation and the World Outside the Egg.

    - <i>For Fades ONLY</i>: Miss Manners: How to function in society with no hands whatsoever, and orfices that discharge corrsive bodily fluids.

    - <i>For Onos' ONLY</i>: Welcome to the New World: Seminar explaining your new self, including long winded explinations that provide no reasonable answers on:
    1) Why you can climb tiny ladders with two legs while the rest of your body sticks out like a board
    2) Claustraphobia
    3) Why Am I here: Our guide explains why you, the size of a Mack Truck, can fit in tiny unreasonable areas.
    4) Look at me run! Running course so you can move as fast as a Ferrari.

    - <i>For Skulks ONLY</i>: How To Climb Up A Wall And Try To Jam Yourself In A Poorly Constructed Vent That Takes You Twenty Minutes To Climb In Because It Sticks Way The Hell Out Or Has Some Stupid Angled Wall Below It, And You Spend Most Of That Time On The Floor.

    Hide a button somewhere on the map that when pressed, wins the game for the team that pressed it.

    Make the waiting room more exciting than the actual map.

    Make a few vents and doorways just a LITTLE too small to frustrate players trying to pass through them.

    How about marines who sit around the base sucking on the ammo station, crying for HMGs and HAs and promptly dieing become fatter over time? Kind of like the fat man mutator in UT.

    They would become slower and biting them as Kharaa would regenerate health!

    *Mmmm* Tastey!
