Sprays

WaffleSpoon

<div class="IPBDescription">Well..</div>Will sprays be added into NS? The past months I've read about this and that beeing added etc, and the possible removal of DM styles of play.. but I have a thought.. or more like a request..

Remove the spraying ability... Nothing freaks me out as much as seeing a porno spray added on a wall in a game of CS.. its awefull.. destroyes gameplay, and there is -always- someone out there that loves to destroy gameplay for others..

ah well, just a thought

i think yer getting a bit touchy; those guys arent trying to ruin the game. you can spot them by the people standing in the doorways or flashbanging their own team. i still think sprays should go cuz they screw the atmosphere tho.

But properly designed sprays can be used to great effect, for instance a TSA logo spray or a patch of alien slime would be very cool.

Hell, these could even be locked in code for each team. The TSA sprays their logo, the aliens 'spray' alien slime onto the walls.

Sprays can be a good thing, like when promoting NS.  But i understand everyone's concern.  I have a feeling sprays will be left in the game, because alot of people want to use them.  Without the option of being able to use them, some people could become disgruntled.

i agree sprays have a way of adding to the elment of fun... i think anyway (i.e. after fraggin some hard oppent and sprayin a taunt on the floor), also sprays do not take away from the game play, it is the people who misuse them by spraying obscene and/or porongrahic crap on the walls. so a controlled number of sparys that a user could select from would be ideal..... i hope to see somthing of this idea implemented, if not that's fine to (rather kill bobs then spray)

well, i think that sprays should be left in but at a price, maybe have certain ones per team and such like one of you mentioned, a TSA logo, weapon pics, etc., jut not something like andre the giant in orange font starting at you.

Excellent idea! I'm sure Flayra and company could work something out by the second beta.

Nothing would freak the marines out more than slime-paints all over the base. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

I submitted a whole bunch of NS themed sprays a couple of months back.  Not sure if they'll make the offical cut.

I would actually like to see the sprays removed.  How many marines do you know of carry spraypaint with them onto the battlefield  <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->
Let alone let thier guard down to spraypaint a taunt to the enemy, and risk getting shot in the back of the head while they are taggin'.

<------ My spray.  If anyone takes that away from me...  <!--emo&:angry:--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'><!--endemo-->

Hmm...the team logo thing sounds like a good idea, but it's not really plausible for a marine to have a tag.  And the aliens wouldn't really want one, would they?  It would just give away their presence.

:/ .  I'm not too sure about sprays.  I think it might be better if they were just left out of NS entirely.

as long as there is a pldecal.wad someone can replace it.. maybe with an all white spray, same color as the white used in some lights on a map, hence gettin a large lamp =/.. I've seen alot of strange things in cs etc.. they freaks me out.. okok, I luh the sprays too, but I dont like the way they are beeing used.. especially the porno and rasiscm(spelling?) ones..

If u wanna implement sprays, fine make each marine pay for say, 5 sprays.. but IMO sprays should be removed, NS already has alot of features and I believe this would just ruin it, since there are -always- some one out there that will misabuse..

cons and pros are factors that must be calculated into every little thing u do, and thinking about the cons all the time wont make u a game, I know, but neither all the pros will make the game flow good.
