Ballistic Team Sets
Yep like the title says, two teams two different sets of weapons. I thought of this cause now BW has lots of weapons, and giving each team the same exact weapon makes for good but sometimes boring fight, but if the other team had a totally different weapon set then yours (the two sets would be balanced).
Of course this would be for of course Team gametypes, even TDM4 could work ( 4 teams , red and gold get set A, while Blue and Green get Set
, jailbreak, TDM, and others as well. But this would be the best for ONS,and VCTF. since in these gametypes you have those weapon pickup things, well you could make them team specific, and the nodes that carry the weapons would change depending on which team has the node.
For other non weapon pickup base gametypes, like CTF and JailBreak, all of the Reds teams weapons would be Set A weapons while all the weapons on the Blue side would be Set B weapons along with the different weapons sets corresponding ammo. If their is 1 weapon say the shock rifle and its in the middle of the map it would just be randomly chosen when the game is loaded. This would be like the Ballistic Weapons mut in a small way.
As for TDM games this would be how i would think this mut would work best (the first idea of course) if saying you were playing on a TDM map like say Rankin with the 1 mut (if it was made). Theirs a flack cannon pickup, the Red team gets say the 1 barrel shotgun and Blue team gets the double barrelled shotgun. So the Blue team would only see and be able to pickup the double barelled shotgun on that weapon base and its right ammo, while on the same weapon base the red team can only see and be able to pick up the 1 barrelled shotgun and its right ammo. As always your enemies will drop their weapon they were holding and you could use it but don't expect to find ammo for the other teams gun, since the only ammo you can possible get is your team's weapons ammo. This would be kinda like the Ballistic Weapons in the way its played, namely you go around picking up better wapons and killing people, but the difference would be that you can only pickup certain weapons say the M50 on the shock rifle base (which of course isn't their) while the enemy can only pick up the XK2 SMG from the same weapon base.
Or if this is too hard, your whole team will spawn all the weapons ala arena style (above is cooler).
The way it would work is that in th mut confug menu you'l have two boxes representing Set A and Set B, and in these boxes you have the swapping menus list of the UT2k4 weapons, and beside it will be a drop down scale thingy (the thing in WoRm which you use to choose weapons for other UT2k4 weapons), but you can onlly choose 1 Ballistic weapon for every 1 UT2k4 weapon. then do this with both weapon Sets, and a way you go. This would be a very smart mut, since when it loads it has to figure out what gametype its in like TDM, ONS, CTF, TDM4 and spawn the weapons as i've said above.
And of course this would be a mutator. A mutator with a ton of options of course.
I know this would be piss a** hard to code and such, since their would be twice the # of guns in the map almost. But even still it would be really really cool to have.
Ballistic Team Arena Sets
Also i had a another similar idea to this one, it woudl be almost like the same thing i just dicussed but you could only choose a certain amount of weapons per set (remember both sets would have to have the same # of weapons each). The way to do this would work is that in the mut config menu (you go into the mut) you'l have 3 boxes, the two on either side represent Set A and Set B weapons, in the middle are all the Ballistic Weapons, you then simply drag the weapons into the different boxes (also once you drag a weapon say the M50 into set A you it'l still be draggable in the Ballistic Weapons box, so if you wanted you could drag it into Set B box, which of course would be stupid... but god knos why, maybe you want to have both teams with M50's but one team would have a regualr pistols while the other would have Redshift's new 10mm pistol), then once you have the same # pf weapons per box you can play with them. So this would be like another Arena mutator but giving each team different (or almost different) weapons.
As always your enemies will drop their weapon they were holding and you could use it, ammo is gotten by the same way in Loadout and Ballistic Arena, namely with the ammo bag.
