Sniper Chaos

Post by Dr.Flay » Tue May 20, 2014 10:44 pm

It occurs to me that Chaos is actually very well equipped when it comes to sniping.
We have rocket and bouncing ammo, and even more variety for the crossbow.

:?: What do you think about a bunch of sniper maps with the crossbow and rifle arena mutators ?
I quite like a bit of sniping action, but most of these use rapid fire which I think spoils the point of having a rifle.

I'd be cool with it, though I'm not a sniper guy. I'm the one that's usually sniped beyond all possibility of sniping.

Been toying with a similar, though more limited, idea recently... as I not too long ago got ahold of an instagib with a sniper-scope on it.

Well you gotta admit, one thing we can all notice is the popularity of sniper servers in various forms.

...and much like Grins, I tend to get my brains splattered while looking around for my own vantage point :(
However, offline I find it very enjoyable.
Personally I find it more enjoyable, because when you don't use a single weapon with infinite ammo, everyone is forced to move around the map.
I guess that would define the difference in camping or stalking.
Most servers are geared for camping.

I'd like to see more variety in the weaponry, and Chaos has some of my fave sniping tools.
2 options are available, I think.
The usual "xxxx-arena" mutator options only ever gives 1 weapon, so it may require WORM or other weapon swapper.
Ideally a Chaos mutator that just swapped all weapons to rifles and crossbows, but maps could be prepared.

I also think that only pathed maps should be used for a change.

The feeling of Chaos needs to be kept, so I think we should throw a few ideas around.
eg. A whirlwind mutator, Earthquake mutator, Portal gun as a start weapon ?
any or all of those can help level the field when it comes to campers ;)
