Right, and since they're holding a mettool, they wouldn't be able to attack.

Why not a mode that's like steal the bacon, only its steal the Mettool?  Like, a little mettool runs around, and who ever has him in his hands for a certain period of time wins?  At least it'd give us an excuse to use the Mettools someone made (if I recall).

Ah, ah, so much negativity.  Let's be kind to the newbies and offer some good advice, eh?

Look, there's nothin' to it.  A good strategy to do while still getting used to things, is to try not to win, but just try to shoot others.  Don't even worry about fragging them until you're used to shooting.

After you're used to shooting, make sure you lock in close, but keep firing while you do so.  Good weapons for close quarters combat are the needle cannon, quick boomerang, and electric shot.

Then once you're used to close quarters, try some midrange weapons.  The Ring Boomerang is surprisingly good for this, because, provided you hit, the boomerang will go through the player through the front, and then again through the back.  You may also want to try the cutter blade.

Finally, once you're used to mid-range combat, you're ready to move on to far-range combat.  Any weapon will do, practically, save for the returning weapons such as the the quick boomerang.  Just stay calm, relaxed, and point and shoot.

Also, get used to switching weapons on the fly.  Far-range combat can nearly instantaneously switch to close quarters combat as people make the drop on you.  Try to remember and recognize the color schemes of each weapon.

Changing teams mid-game is just plain pathetic.  I don't care if my team's losing, I'm stickin' with 'em.  Through thick and thin, through pixel and polygon, through people who chase you down with a needle gun to that one spot where people camp and throw napalm bombs.

That would be pretty cool. While I love Mega Man games, I wouldn't be the one to do so. Even though I've spent large amounts of time with doom based editing. I'm not a sprite artist. The campaign would require enemies to be sprited and coded(which I could only do the coding bit). I'm just a coder and mapper.

Well, I'm not too bad at spriting if you wanna do the coding.  That is... if you're serious.

....and there's actually a few other people who have said they wanted a more campaign experience from this. CutManMike's got a distinct goal for finishing this as a deathmatch game, but if you or anyone else wanted to work towards making a mod for it, that'd be awesome!

I actually had that idea sitting in the back of my mind since I learned the game was Deathmatch only.  I want to bring the idea to fruition some day.

It doesn't matter (to me) how big they are, they look fine either way.

Aw man, CutmanMike was there?  I wish I was there to pwn - or be pwned by - him!
