Oh teh noes!

hey i got an idea for the phantoms other two turrets. how about u make it like in star wars clone wars the game wer wen ur flyin the gunship u shoot secondary fire and it shoots lasers the track the enemy but they ovr heat if u use them too long. instead of lasers tho use the phantom projectiles

This is a phantom we're talking about, not a Republic Gunship.

As much as I frikkin LOVE wraiths, they would be useless in a wide open map with no cover. Scorpions woud snipe them right out. Wraiths would only be good in maps woth cover to shoot over.

The current wraiths are far more acurate, shots go far faster, and go a lot farther.

make them home in.

Then they will be unstoppable killing machines...I like it.

Really? That would be AWESOME :D

not

wow. yea dont make them home in. it'll attract the noobs

1- bobbysoon added a tweaked wraith into the map we were working on a while back:
it is extremely fast[flies when going off a jump ^_^]
its projectiles pinball and don't detonate until they hit a biped or vehicle
2- in all reality... the wraith in "downflow" [the one i suggested earlier] has two fireing capabilities; regular mortar and a high speed highly accurate plasma riffle blaster and on top of all that... it has a boost and stealth capabilities[aka it go invisible]
3- considering when wraiths are on open ground they arent easy targets i'd say its a fair vehicle

I like downflow. Using that wraith would be very cool.

Break time for me.

are you kidding me? do you know what that will do? first off, all you will have is projectiles flying all over the damn place, and when they hit the sky they will disappear. all someone has to do is spam them into a room or something. dont be ignorant, because if you put more than than an ounce of brain power into it you would see the problem

how about u dont make them so they dont bounce. like u sed put an ounce of brainpower into it

Fine. Just make them shoot straighter and much faster. And In a wide open map, if like, the needler's homing is set to like, 50, and the PP overcharge is set to 30, then I would suggest making these shots home level like 5, so as to at least get the mortar to land somewhat closer to teh target.

-.- the point is that im almost sure what you have here is going to be a weapon that fires alot of shots. if someone is bouncing shots all over the place, what is going to happen to the lag on the server? it would be like just randomly spamming the projectile hoping it will bounce and hit something. thats not a good gameplay mechanic at all

or you could take the mortar from the tank and make it a handheld weapon. The noob tube, or something.

I had that idea before. Rip the turret off and convert it into a weapon.

:P

Anyway, on topic, wraith shots are good enough now.

The go extremely far, and are far more accurate. Meaning, they typically go where you point the reticle, until they fall so far away that they just fall.

They also are much faster.

Well, they are llama masters wraiths. In the vehicle files section.

Don't. Downflow SUCKS. It's almost as bad as hugeass.

It doesn't suck.

It is a fun map. It isn't huge and laggy, but it still has those super vehicles.

lol

1. it sucks

2. it IS huge and laggy

3. scarabs are noobish

I've downloaded that, maybe.

And downflow IMO doesn't need anything done to it. :P

And 11,000 views, ZOMG. lol

1: ....no
2: if they go invisible they need to be slower. you cant have a super fast invisible tank of death flying around the screen that doesn't make for good game play.

Lol.

"Super invisible tank of death" sounds funny.

The one from downflow is already slow :P

yea lol if your gonna put a wraith in there like that then make sure when you go to enter it it says "press e to enter super invisible tank o death"

How about "Uber 1337 super tank stronger than superman-batman-and-the-incredible-hulk-combined inviso tank?"

lol

that'd be funny lol but don't do it

Oh, I am doing it.

lol kidding.

stay on topic and maybe u could add spartan lazor? i like making cars fly :)


and for smoe reason my comp going funky (cant use email can hardly download anything from hear and hardly lets me post)

1- please no spartan laser... i never did fix the reloading issues the first time it went into gameplay[it seems to instanly have full power when its switched for a secondary weapon]
2- the wraiths are fine as they are[especially if its the downflow wraith]
3- extinction, like downflow and ambush; only lag if you have your graphics set too high

ya infiniti ammo makes it do that
i like the idea of the wraith
and it would be lagy

i just want it to be done
i wanna see pics
