Hoverbikes ideas

Admins · #1 01-26-2005, 12:51 AM

Should it be possible to shoot from the hover bike? I mean you press a key, stand on the hoverbike, and can shoot around you with your current weapon. By pressing a key again you are back in the bike. While you are standing on the bike it can of course continue to move. I got this idea when thinking about the missions, but may be it can be enabled in normal battlezones too.

I think it should be added.

I'd prefer more of a "Grand Theft Auto : San Andreas" approach though, where you are able to shoot from the front of the bike while driving.

Mount a pulse laser on the nose that either fires really fast and low damage or medium speed for medium damage

Standing on the hoverbrike? Like Bullseye from Daredevil? That's not something you see everyday lol... MAybe just sitting down and if you have a light weight gun, being able to shoot off it. Don't just let people shoot rockets while driving a bike. XD

Actually that sounds like Jak 2-3... but in Jak, Daxter holds the gun while he drives. I don't think it's possible to drive (well) and shoot at the same time.

2 guys on 1 bike
1 Rides and 1 shoots

If the player could shoot while sitting we would need to make new animations, which would be too much work
A special missile gun at the front of the hoverbike would work too
I could also imagine that you could attach the hoverbike to another bike and it is automatically following the first bike then, so the player on the second bike could shoot from the bike while the player on the first bike is driving.

The way you control the bike should be changed to, I always end up hitting walls and stuff. =[

I agree, like on UN. One hat could cost 1,000,000 g. I hate that. I love the idea of one person driving and one shooting.

How about different types of vehicles?

Jetpacks are planned, but for tanks or other vehicles we would need gfx.

But thats reality, graal isn't based on reality (most of the times).. Is counter-strike based on reality..?

I am just saying, if we would like to do a reality game why dont we just play sims.. What I heard is that its "based" on reality which I dont believe but anyway..

You should make a server there everything is based on reality, you are sitting on your chair looking at tv.. Then we can look at that for maybe 5 hours..
