After reading through this forum, I have seen some things that I liked, and other things I did not like.
I really would not recommend merging weapons together, because that makes thing more available....you know, less things to pick up. I like the idea of a health and armor limit, something like 200/200 or even 250/250. I also believe that adding different ammo for the weapons is a good idea, as it does encourage map movement, which brings me to my next point.
All of these changes will, obviously, change the gameplay. I know change is inevitable. However, are you willing to make so many changes that the gameplay itself is completely different to what nexuiz used to be? Some of the suggestions make it feel like that.
Which also reminds me.....are you going to try to make these settings suited to all current, and future game modes (certain game modes do not apply, you know which modes I'm talking about!
)? Although I wouldn't mind seeing a little variation to game modes like ctf and duel, I think that there should be a standard for gamemode, that server admins could follow.
I am working on some ideas for weapon changes, but I'm not ready to post them yet. I thought I would just share where I stand on this instead of waiting until I have my weapon changes thought out and typed....
