Instagib?

Why do all the populated servers in Sauerbraten have to be instagib? I don't mind instagib, it's just all I see in active servers are instagib servers. I'm sick of the gamemode. I miss being able to use my other weapons instead of the rifle! I miss actually having HEALTH which doesn't kill you in one shot. I get lucky to find some regen capture or ffa servers, then a person will come in and ask if it can be changed to instagib, in which I'm like "NO! There's like 5 other instagib servers out there, go to those."

What is with everyone and instagib? What happened to variety?

Please clarify how
Defending a base = Camping at a base

Players have been perfectly able to defend their bases in classic capture without camping around at it for minutes straight, because unlike regen, classic capture doesn't actually encourage that.

I find it equally amusing and depressing that we now have users who have obviously never played a proper game of classic capture and suggest changing it because it doesn't encourage the same game behaviour as regen capture.

Eh, linked to wrong message, whatever.

I think insta is a fine thing, but the concept could be expanded.

Example Nexuiz: You got pretty similar modes as in Sauer. Deathmatch with and without teams, capture, CTF and so on.

And then you got the mutators. Those influence the gameplay additionally, reducing the map's gravity or grappling hooks and jetpacks.
One kind of mutator you can set is the arena mutator. It wipes all ammo and weapon pickups from the map and gives all players the same gun, pretty much like Sauer's insta.
The big difference is that you can choose the weapon when you set up the match/server.

I think it would be cool if this would be adapted, at least for the weapon-part.

Such a thing would require sauer's mode system be refitted. Probably in the same way red eclipse does it.

I just said that it'd be pretty cool. I am aware that it'd require lotsa changes of the game code. Pretty major changes actually.

And I never tried RE either, lol

I believe that it is most simpler and fun instagib :)

Well, as eihrul stated that Tesseract's gameplay willvbe even more simple as Sauerbraten's, maybe that would be the perfect opportunity to add such feature.

#66: Grappling hooks?!

Red Eclipse is an amazing game.

I think Sauebraten would benefit from something like RE's mutators to help diversify the gameplay.

Sauerbraten is relatively simple, dynamic, and fun, but imagine if you put grappling hooks into iCTF, maybe added a 5%-10% speed increase overall?

It would completely change, and in my fatigued opinion off the top of my head in between paragraphs for this final essay on gay rights in France, for the better.

:)
