<div class="IPBDescription">Add killable sceintists to NS?</div> Anyone make killable sceintist for NS yet? I would like to add these guys ans NPC's that just kinda stare at computers or something, or do basic scripts with them if possible like walk around a lab.

Any ideas on how to hack it into NS are also welcome.

    Seems an odd waste of entities too be honest. Plus, I don't really think having scientists around for no other purpose than to kill them really fits in with the "no gore" theme.

    Besides, why would there be human characters still left unscathed in an infested base/ship/place?

    Hey, cool idea. And to make it even more exciting, we could give the Kharaa a bomb that they have to plant at a bombsite. The bomb can be defused by a counter-kharaa (aka marine) with a defusal kit (which can be bought at the round start). Hey, that would be a cool idea. Someone notify Flayra of this thread.

    Good idea! This way we dont need a comander cus it = teh l4M3. We can buy our wepons our selves instead of a comander giving them to us... We can get the res for them by killing the apponent and more res at the start of each round... Instead of respawing we can stay dead untill the round is over...

    Yeah, great idea. This would make it so more balanced. And the Kharaa shouldn't evolve into any lifeforms or upgrades. They should have guns that they can upgrade instead. And you can get 3 different kinds of grenades, explosive grenades, gas grenades and flashbangs. Awesome. Also, there wouldn't be any more hives or anything, since that is just stupid.

    And then, you could have legitimate fun maps for NS! You could have knife/skulk only fun maps or HMG sniping and onos fun maps.

    OH YEAH! you could also have assasination maps - one marine could be like the colonel or some very important person (we'll call him the VIP for ease). The VIP has to like escape and the marines have to protect him. If the Kharaa kill him they win and get huge bonuses.

    This will be mad.

    I've been thinking tho. Perhaps Natural Selection is ready for a new name or something. I've had a few thoughts - how about:<ul><li>Selection-Strike</li><li>Counter-Selection</li><li><b>or</b> Natural-Strike</li></ul>
    Let me know what you think

    Natural-Strike sounds good... sounds like a trip to the bathroom.

    We'll need a one-shot-one-kill weapon. We'll dub it the AWP for now (short for Awesome Weapon of pwnage). Of course, it'll have a scope, and hear me on this, <b>it'll actually allow you to zoom in on your target</b>. I'm so excited, this'll totally revolutionize gaming!

    And the Marines, instead of Heavy Armot (cause it is teh l4m3!), could have some sort of...SHEILD!

    Of course, the sheild would be really heavy, so you really couldn't have any weapon besides small stuff, like a welder or pistol.

    Speaking of which, you could have maybe, dualy welders! That would be teh pwn!


    Now we need to design something with bullet time! Call it The Naturalists or something...

    I've been thinking guys, some of the alien liforms are odd shapes to be carrying guns, not to mention that their hitboxes are all different sizes (Golden Eye Oddjob syndrome anyone?) we should make them humanoid, more similar to the counter kharaa. Maby we can give one some artic gear, OR BETTER YET, SOME CAN WEAR SKI MASKS!!!

    OMG this game is gonna totally PWN. Its gonna be so 1337. OMG Another idea, kharaa can have a '1337 kr3w' of some sort, just so everone knows how 1337 Natural-Strike really is.

    And whats with all this biting? It would be SO much cooler if the khaara had guns too, like AK-47's. And instead of having to kill some "command chair" doohickey, they should just have to plant a bomb or run around and get headshots on the counter-khaara. As for the counter-khaara, WTH is with this "no recoil" thing? I mean it takes no 1337 skillz to shoot something with no recoil, no matter how small it is or how fast it moves. Also, we need more guns that nobody will ever use! We need some "TMP" like thing, and even a "Para". That mod would SO pwn! We could all start posting in "13375p34|<" just to show how intelligent and mature we are!
  • Jesus_GreenJesus_Green Join Date: 2004-05-01 Member: 28351Members
    The Kharaa could be some kind of muslim terrorist species that is invading Earth in order to plant bombs and kill police. It makes perfect sense.

  • HanzGrub3rHanzGrub3r Join Date: 2004-02-23 Member: 26823Members
    What Natural-Strike (tm - ©2004 HanzGruber Enterprises) really needs is some sort of silencer for the Counter-Kharaa - but only for 2 guns. It would be extra cool if the silencer could be put on real quick by switching weapons.

    And if we make this metamod compatible we could have Natural-Strike: Warcraft 3 and Natural-Strike: Superheros. Think of the possibilities!

    Although I do feel that the current Natural-Strike ™ maps are inhospitable to decent combat. What we really need is some sort of middle-eastern map. Doesn't have to be too detailed - just really sandy with dusty walls. Heck - you could call it NS_Dust.

    And whats the deal with all the buildings in the current version of NS. Wouldn't it be so much simpler if we just canned all the buildings completely. And the overlay map is just too complicated - replace it with a much simpler, all-be-it useless, radar with indiscernable blips.

    Come on Flayra, get your act together. So much promise for Natural Strike ™..
