I still think that it is a good thing that keeping track of ammo is hard. I think it's just awesome that some people resort to counting the bullets in their head, since that's what they do in the movies . And the *click* sound is fun, especially that you hear it from your opponents weapons too.

Would the game really be as exciting if you never found yourself attacking without ammo and could play it safe all the time? I don't think so.

Tees are pretty much crouched already. Sink your weapon by sinking your mouse, that way it is already possible to hide in several places.

Though I believe the bushes arn't there for the people playing on low detail, which makes these kind of tactics sort of pointless at the moment.

wtf?

Gotta love that name .

I'm assuming that you are also the creators of wtfland?

Hmm, may I suggest a sticky thread for small suggestions? Cause I hvae an idea that I don't think merits much discussion, but I still think it would be good. Anyway, I´ll post it here for now since the headline suits it.

I´d like to see the mapname displayed somewhere when playing on a map, or on several places. Like, say, when it´s downloaded and somewhere on the scoreboard. Why? Well, I wanna know what map I´m playing on so I can go to the map part of the forum to give feedback. Right now I can only know what map is on a server at the time I join it, and after a rotation I´m clueless.

I like the arrows on the edges idea, but it should only be for teammates. Arrows when for everyone when spectating could be nice too though, but when playing the limited overview has tactical importance and thus shouldn´t be spoiled.

Don´t start a new thread about something you know have already been discussed. This particular one has been up several times in different places and most probably by different people.

Still a good idea though.

But I would prefer it as an original gamemode. Not sure I like the concept of mods. The ninja mod was cool, but then Shootme started to alter game physics...

There´s only supposed to be one Teewars.

Yea, customization can be very good, I´m not arguing that. It just needs to be done very carefully, and I think that goes for everything in Teewars, not just the physics.

As long as the options really are very basic, and obvious enough to be noticed when playing, I think I agree that such things would be good.

Nevertheless, in this case of spawntimes, I really think it should be the same always. Either that or two very different variants.

It would make sense to me to disable the forced spawn alltogether on casual servers, to get rid of those inactive tees just standing there.

I have also felt that controling the camera movement feels a little awkward (and I haven´t played Soldat, Teewars is the only shooter I´ve played much). So spontaniusly Clawbugs idea does sound good to me, allthough like I said I don´t really know how it would turn out.

I assume that matricks point about the dizzyness is valid. So, assuming that, maybe it´s rather a matter of balancing it? That is, not having the screen always following the mouse, but tighten the borders for where it starts to?

ACTIONS

I think the standard movement controls are quite perfect.

- A: Move left
- D:  Move right
- Space:  Jump
- Mouse2:  Hook
- Mouse1:  Fire

=======
WEAPONS
=======

I moved these to not have to move the fingers so far, to switch faster (and to not have to look down).

- S:  Hammer
Easy to accidentally hit this one when stressed, which generally happens when someone gets too close - so melee weapon makes sense.
- W:  Pistol
Starting weapons in the middle line, simple enough.
- Q:  Shotgun
- E:  Grenade launcher

Since they introduced teamchat I just didn´t know where to click to chat with the default controls, had to change it back to enter. Still never use teamchat...

- F1:  Console
- F2:  Remote console
- mouse3:  Emoticon
Will probably use mouse3 for the laserrifle later though, it´s the only easy-to-acces button left that I can think of, and sniper on the mouse makes sense in my mind.
- F10:  Screenshot
- Enter:  Chat
- Shift:  TeamChat (not happy with this one though)

I don´t think there should be a warning. The only thing a warning would do is making this game slightly less skill-based, cause keeping track of the ammo is a skill - and a cool one.

Hammer seems balanced as it is too me. Hard to use but powerful in the right situations. I don´t agree that starting weapons should be less good than the other weapons. If all weapons have different uses, which they have, there is still be reason to want them all.

Sure, pistol could use a slight improvement, but it doesn´t need much. It´s already useful.

I don´t think it´s range the shotgun needs, it´s slightly higher bullet speed - and I think it´s already half-planned that it will get that.

Granade launcher too bad? Nah, I use it about as much as the shotgun. Too good? It used to be, when it had a longer range. I think it´s well balanced now. Reducing it´s damage would make it relatively useless, since the high damage is pretty much it´s only strength.
