Jousting mode?
« on: February 18, 2011, 11:07:28 AM »
Saviorsword, SickSadWorld and I were going over some new mode ideas the other day, and jousting came up.
And no, this isn't one of those things that can only be done on cheat servers! The mode it would have to be played on is duel. So far we've thought of using Wavebikes as horses, Proto Buster and Charge kick as the only weapons. Jumping would probably be disabled, and you'd only be facing 1 direction. Custom maps would have to be included due to there being other weapons in others.
If this is in the wrong part of the forum, please put it in the right place.
So the question here is would you think you'd play this? Feel free to critisise, add things or change things. :D
Also, this is NOT the final idea as of now.

I pity how few replies this has.

Sounds fun, if you have a limited ceiling height, a bar that could be shot through between the players preventing them from crossing their lines... And one or two weapons. [Give them circles to fight in, or something, so long as they can always be hurt, to prevent camping.]

I'd probably play it.

Wouldn't Top Spin be a more viable candidate since it's OHKO?  No doubts about who won the joust that way.

Of course we'll have circles, and Topspin just sounds like a who-can-jump-first-then-use-topspin-game. But hell, we'll try 'er out.

*comes screaming out of left field with input*

Waaaaay back in the day, there was this jousting map for Doom II.  It contained two ramps which lead to a pit and had only two weapons: The Super Shotgun and the Chainsaw.  Basically, two players would get on either side of the field behind their respective ramps.  A third person would be at a console.  When the third person pressed the button, some lights would light up signaling that the players should go.  The jousters would run full-tilt up the ramp and toward each other with the Super Shotgun equipped.  When the players flew off the ramps, they'd open fire on each other once and only once.  The winner of the joust would be the one who survived, obviously, but of both players survived, they'd land in the pit below, landing on Chainsaws, and have a good ol' fashioned chainsaw massacre!  Good times, good times...

Anyway, I'm not saying that that's what you should do here because, goodness knows, some people probably wouldn't even have "auto weapon switch" turned on, not to mention the fact that a lot of people simply would not get it.  But it's definitely something to think about.
