Depends, are vorts also allowed to run and gun, or will they still be restricted to the "hooves glued on ground" mechanic when doing a beam?
vortigaunt swep is different from TFA so they will still be forced to stand still unless the vort swep gets edited

i think we should force connect people engaging in combat into a hl2dm duel server where a best of 10 kills match decides the victor (and a pk)

they cannot run and gun

@Rabid idk arcadey combat is just more chaotic and fun, and I prefer cqc engagements to being sniped across the map any day especially with our further use of large maps

you still have to be a s2k twitchsnap god in other aspects right now to survive, have to plan out so much to make sure your team isnt wiped by one guy in a good position

and in response to the elite raid, i would have just given myself more hl2 combine balls as a balancing factor while knowing run/gun is enabled

It might be more fun and I'm sure people will jump on it, but there's liable to be a lot more frustration.

Isn't that good? You chastized rebels for doing limited planning on that base raid and almost no recon.

Those things literally don't matter if you get 15-30 rebels who know they can just swarm the gates and break most defences. Its absolutely happened plenty before on CW, it was basically the go-to for both sides.

and in response to the elite raid, i would have just given myself more hl2 combine balls as a balancing factor while knowing run/gun is enabled

At which point either people bitch because you had to win by spamming instakill balls constantly, or you embolden them by all dying horribly and proving the tactic works.

I could just be doomsaying here but I think letting rebels have free access to their overwhelming weight of numbers without any real balance is a very bad idea for balancing the Combine side because it forces you to bring in more outside resources like APC's and Synths so the heavily outnumbered cops don't get insta-murdered which then pisses off rebels.

Then make it so

Vorts can already run and gun in Episode 2, and if worse comes to worst, you can still keep groundpound movement-locked.

Has anyone got the video of pumpkin and @Kafe crouchjumping around shooting at each other for 8 minutes?

if you enable running-and-gunning then bunnyhopping should be banned, period, no exceptions.

God I remember the "OVERTURN THIS PK I RECORDED THE ENTIRE SITUATION AND AT 24:53 OF THE ENGAGEMENT THIS GUY TAPPED SPACE ONCE" threads on WW3 lmao

If you enable run-and-gun you're going to give up trying to enforce people bunnyhopping inside of like two days.

bunny hopping is hardcoded to not work lol

you get slowed down to a crawl and can't spam it

huge agree

i already have my personal quarrels with S2K combat but the genuine quake 3 levels of acrobatics people would do while in their funny little suspended-rp murder sequence was some of the goofiest shit i'd see and it would completely take me out of whatever scraps of immersion into the rp at hand i had

No, clockwork. Thought you were the rebel in the video, if it wasn't you than it was someone else.

Stasiland & the relaunch managed it just fine.

Old WW3RP was such a shitfest it was the exception than the rule.

endurance as a reduction of damage is gone

acrobatics to make you jump really high is gone

people will still die in 4 rifle shots to the chest, like, its just more fun now

and like @Ond said you get slowed down the more you jump in succession. maybe it will save you one headshot or two
