[SUGGESTION] rocket flying game mode

talk of making flag carrier weaker

People were already too chicken to take the flag in Nexuiz, because of the point deduction if you lost it. Making him weaker would only make that worse IMHO. If you want to go this route, make the rocket launcher do more self-damage to everyone.

Also some people seem to think that the Nex and MG are the only way to kill someone in the air--and while these remain effective, people are erred if the think these are the only ways to kill someone in the air. Rifle, shotgun spam, electro, even the crylink primary can work.

Too be honest I don't really mind someone who likes to rocket jump. I fear the guy who knows how to use his laser more.

If you watch chooksta's interview, you'll notice that he's most vulnerable (no offense intended) in the air. This is because in the air, they have less direction control, and that makes predicting where they're going easier--this in turn makes using rifle and Nex more affective.

Maybe an easier solution would be to make something like this

Code:

set g_balance_rocketlauncher_selfdmg_multiply 1.4

This would allow us to adjust the self-damage of each weapon uniquely as needed. In the rocket launcher's case, we'd adjust it so that you could only get one (or maybe two if you're stacked) rocket jumps in.

I didn't mean to go on a rage war (sorry if it sounded like one ), I just wanted to point out a few things and maybe a possible solution.
