Reduced redeemer?
WTF4?

That's like putting 2 barrel carburetor on a fuel injected Chevy LS6!

That's like driving with the parking brake on!

That's like using the space shuttle to buy beer (wait, that would be cool).

That's like Pamela Anderson having her implants removed!

Well Gopo, at least I currently don't have the broadband to experience this abomination.
You're full of great ideas but I'm going to have to slap you silly for this one.
Oh wait, you're already SILLY. Lucky you!

*I* didn't come up with this deal <points at Herm>....

Actually Fuzz it plays very well. It's faster paced than deemer, though self-killing is still an issue that needs addressed some. It's more like rocket arena on steroids than deemer arena reduced, if that makes sense. I wish you could play some to see it.

I think he (Fuzz) should play it. I know his excuse would be he does not have broadband, he has dial up. Come on.. Man Up! :wink:

I might have a chance that way. :D

It's like normal arena, only with more campers.

Because your weapons are so much worse in a fight, yet retain their guiding powers, it is substantially easer to kill people with guiding than in a real fight, with your much smaller blast radius you cant destroy incoming guided missles nearly as well, and it also means that a camper basically has to sidestep to survive incoming fire coming from the ground. :)

If your arrow keys had a recharge time you could still be a fearsome adversary :mrgreen:

It reduces spray, but increases camping.
You can't win :wink:

But with the alt radar you can't hide as a camper. I consistently see people get killed by a camper, then I watch them hunt down the camper on foot. You just can't stay very long in one spot no matter the map.

If I had dial up, at least I'd have a stable signal.
In addition, my desktop doesn't have a wireless connection so it's a Charlie Foxtrot for me at the moment.

So hide n guide should be done for short cruises around corners or into warehouses.
Yes you will be sought out if you are too scared to come out and fight.
Get near the hider and transloc a little closer each time he/she guides one out for a Sunday cruise. I always had fun telefragging Silent /3ob when he relied on the hide n guide!

I'd like to give it a try when I can.

Of course, Gopo, I'm just giving you 5h!t because you are my favorite turd!

Oh and a couple more things: will this radar thing show up on other sites that check for cheats?

If you have a problem with your own rockets blowing up in your face due to shockwaves, welcome to redeemer arena! Pay attention to what's coming at you and slow down your delivery.

Fuzz, I just had to harass a fellow desert dweller.

I have played on the temp server on the deemer maps a couple times and their were some games that I held my own. Of course there are other times I was owned.

Been too many years since I played on some of these maps that were sniper maps. I used to be decent on the sniper games, I could easily hold my own on the camping sniper games. Anyways...

If you do get a chance to play, hopefully you can cross my sights. 8)

Of course, I do lean on the Monter Hunt maps more than the others.

So, David, where in AZ are you?
I'm in N.E. Phx near PV Mall.

I just want things to get back to normal and spend my evenings in UT.
I still love sniper and DM maps (although some players are really really fast).

Things are looking up for this week (fingers crossed). You'll know when I'm back!

I am in the north east part of Arizona. I moved away from the valley over a decade ago. I had to pull myself out before I did something stupid with some of the stupid drivers and Snow Birds.

It would be good to see you on any of the servers.. Enjoy

No the redeemer "radar" is actually native code that the redeemer uses anyway. You know how it can see someone as a reddish thing with numbers as you alt-glide? I took that code and made it so the crosshairs will show even if something (a wall) is in the way. Basically the guided shell does a check for "visible actors" in a radius around it and I changed that check to "All actors" within a somewhat larger area. Also I cleaned up the display so you can read the distance-to-target much easier. I might change it to be (Playersname, distance) so you can be selective about whom you hunt down :twisted:

In my version I won't have the full time radar bleeps on. They'll work the way the deemer works now. Somebody said it right when they realized that camping isn't going to work too well here since your right, if you spawn and step in any direction the blast likely won't kill you. THUS I DOUBT I'LL USE SPAWN PROTECTION MEAT BUT NOTICE I SAID DOUBT"

This gametype will require far more shooting skills than at CG since a shot in the corner no longer destroys EVERYTHING in the corner. In fact it can't even damge a whole corner of a corner. See! See! It's "wicked sick" mannnnnnn! Freakin AWESOME dude!
