Due to the fact that this week's poll asks a binary question: Do you prefer the guns outside of Saferooms to be single items that disappear after the first person picks them up? Or do you prefer that there are enough for everyone?
I wanted to expand upon this (I know valve guys read this, along with all you freelance mappers), as I want *both at the same time. *Here's what I mean: If the door opens, down the road around the corner behind a trashcan there's a shotgun, that's cool. I like there being stray 1-off guns. But what I also want are *three more guns* within the immediate vicinity (not necessarily in line of sight, but within 5-10 seconds walk, or even the same gun) so that everyone can "tech up" rather that one guy going "fuck yes, this shotgun is MINE bitches!" and being 110% better than everyone else for the rest of the level. I like the feel of limited weaponry but I want the balance of enough for the team. Spawnpoints of 4+ guns also lead to the "I'll just pick a new one instead of reloading" exploit (I think if there are exactly 2 and only one person touches them he has infinite ammo from a limited spawnpoint, as a dropped object near a spawn point of identical objects will merge and reset ammo counts). Might take 3, I haven't tested it extensively--yeah, I think it takes 3: 1 in your hands, 1 being dropped, and 1 still spawnpoint bound). Anyway, that's my 2cents Draco18s _______________________________________________ L4Dmapper mailing list [email protected] http://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/l4dmapper
