How about putting a jetpack/jetboots in bw? How to get it? it would work as a powerup, just pick it up somewhere on the map and press either the sprint key or the jump key twice to activate the jets. Also it could be a standard equipment youll get at spawning. How to use it? So picked it up and you want to use it. I thought of 2 ways it could work: 1. press an assigned key to turn it on or off. Press jump to go higher Press Crouch to go lower WASD keys are used to steer you in air Doing dodging moves in air is possible: just tap the direction you want to go twice and youll boost with the jetpack a short range. (if the jet packs will have fuel this will use more fuel than normal flight.) also the jump and crouch buttons can be used the same way to go lower/higher with a boost. While your not moving youll be just hovering in air by the jetpack. 2.Press jump twice to activated the jets. (they will turn off when your not using them) hold the jump button to fly up. when you let go of it, youll fall down. use A and D to go sideways in air and W and S to go forward/backward. Fuel or energy or infinite: To use the jets youll need fuel or energy to make it work. heres 2 variants: -Fuel: A canister that youll pick up as a bonus somewhere on the map which adds an amount of fuel to your jetpack. -Energy: The jetpack will recharge itself slowly when its not used. Or Infinite energy for new aerial gameplay! |

Could be fun . Imagine two or more enemy's flying in a fuel operated jetpack and you having the sniper rifle. Shoot the jetpack and KABOOM an instant firy death and a fuel shower from above on other persons .  quiet sadistic but fun

This would be pretty awesome. I think there might already be one available similar to what you suggested, but a little different. |

For BW, not a chance in burning hell. This would make BW turn into something as awful as Tribes. |

heh... I guess it would be a safe assumption that you don't like Tribes.

yeah it would pretty much become that, none hit scan weapons (BW) and jet packs = bad gameplay. |

Ok, by the looks of it, this is going to lead to no where good, so, to ease the tension, has anyone else tried the jetpack mutator out there? Its pretty fun, might be good for what you want, Reactor. I'll see if I can find a link to it some time this weekend. |

I had downloaded it a long time ago, but never tried it for some odd reason. Maybe I just prefer a FPS game to not be silly. |

Why is a game with a Jetpack instantly silly for you? It all depend on how it is used. If you can fly around freely like Superman, it can be a problem. If it is used like a real jet pack, so that you can't really fly, but "jump" very high and slow down your fall, it can be very useful combined with a melee weapon, because it is a great way to get close to the enemy before he shoots you into pieces. Familiar with Warhammer40K? Think of the Assault Space Marines. Chainsaw swords and jetpacks are a great combination! |

I'm always open for new things, so as long as they don't become too "spammy"... So... Jetpack...? Sure, why not...? But GOD-LIKE Jetpack w/ infinite fuel? HELL NO. |

Controlling a guy flying around with a jetpack is very easy in 1st person I bet... |

Ah, I know that jetpack mod. I didnt like it much because it made my ut lag like hell and that oversized thing on my back was just ridiculous. And what is tribes? never played it and what is so bad about it? Also in BW you can set the recoil to 0, so shooting in mid-air shouldnt be a problem, and strking at someone on the ground with a melee weapon and a jetpack would be cool. or when youre reloading, you can use the jetpack to escape the fire. |

... not unless you implement propulsion and projectile-motion physics... then you get a human dive-bomber. |

But it'd still be silly unless the game focuses on it, which only Tribes does to this day afaik. |

If anyone is even interested in this, just go download aerial view, gives your guys wings/ jet boasters, its pretty much a jetpack but way cooler. |

one of the reasons bf2142 didn't have jetpacks was because they were afraid that every time someone was hurt they'd fly away kinda would be pissed if i almost killed someone adn they decided to fly away get health and come back |

a well, BF2142 has Mechs and FUTURISTIC (you hear that RS devs) and in my books that makes it cool, even though i'll never buy it cause its EA game play with is awesome at first than pisses you off later. |

How 'bout adding the option of shooting the Jet Pack so that it explodes instead of shooting the victim him/herself? |
|
| Author: | Mr.UglyPants [ Sat Nov 18, 2006 8:20 pm ] |
| Post subject: | Jetpack/jetboots for v2? |
yeah that'd be cool, but the jetpacks would have to look cool first, and not stupid. |

I don't understand why some pple didn't like Tribes. Tribes was one of the first games that featured team-based vehicles. The only problem I saw in the first Tribes were the extremely huge maps. If a server had full pple, like 16 or 32, then Tribes was extremely fun. The jetpack mutator currently out there isn't that great. But the old jetpack mutator for ut99 was okay. A jetpack would be nice for jumping over those huge walls in some of the maps. I agree w/ Mr.UglyPants, it would have to look cool. It should be attached on the back like the ammo pack for the minigun. The way it should work should be with one touch of a button. You hold it down to use it, kinda the way Tribes had it. |

Jetpacks working like described above is not that realistic. I imagine a sort of worms styled jetpack, once activated, you accelerate upward or you slow down your fall. Like the burning backpack, but then controlled and not deadly. The moving around is just like normally when in air, but with more air control. There's a mutator which allows you to say how much air control you got. So you can use that script to make you faster in air with a jetpack. When holding down the button, you use up fuel and you gain upward lift, you also get more air control. You can gain fuel by picking up a new jetpack item. |
