Possible Lugaru multiplayer types

Oni was missing melee weapons REALLY badly. It ruined the game. Well, that and the total lack of location damage.
I think we should just wait for the new MP modes... We have more than enough ideas.

i know you said its too late but i thought of something really cool,
its were players try to play out the single player game, but every one starts as an npc, and they have to kill turner to become him, but once you become turner you have to fight other players who are the
npcs and if you kill turner you become turner, the goal is to be turner the longest, sort of a competative co-op

That's just like the Juggernaut option from Halo 2, without the Juggernaut's special powers.

I can't remember if these were mentioned:
Assassin: A slight twist on that defending the village thing. It would be one guy vs. everyone else. And he has to kill someone, or something...er...yeah...

One Flag CTF: The flags in the middle, get it to your base or die trying...

KOTH: King of the Hill, standard but fun.

LMOTH: you have a set # of lives, try to be the last person who has control of the flag...yeah...sure its been used, but its fun right?

There was this cool mod I played in Quake 3 and UT...yeah yeah, but it was fun. The weapons, damages, and rates of fire had been modified so that everything fire massive amounts but did less damage. It was called Excessive. I thought it was great, but thats me. Something along those lines for Lugaru?

Okay, here's a retarded idea, but it just popped into my head. Everyone can jump really, really, really, high, and you can only damage (or maybe just plain kill) each other while flying through the air...JUMP MATCHES!!! WHEEEEEEE!!!!

Sorry if any of these have been mentioned before.

Some of those are just plain strange.

That is also a Q3 mod is it not?

It was? *shrugs* I've never heard of it...therefore, obviously

it never existed in Q3!

Strange yes....but would they be fun and interesting is the main idea.

Exactly, a lot of games now adays have no interesting concepts, with a terrible plot, I want my Marathon IV!

Seriously, why do everyone love Marathon?

Renegade_Turner · Post by **Renegade_Turner** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 10:48 am

What is Marathon?

Evil Penguin · Post by **Evil Penguin** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 10:50 am

There are a million subtleties which you could not begin to understand... :P
Wait... You don't know what Marathon is? *Starts shaking uncontrollably* G-g-get awa-ay f-f-f-ro-m-m me... That is like not knowing what Marathon 2: Durandal, or Marathon: Infinity is!

@Renegade: Marathon was one of the first FPS's with an actual storyline to come out on Mac. Plus, it was the first Mac only FPS of its time. And it was made by Bungie...yeah.

@Crill3: Why do I love Marathon? Because Marathon rocks. It has a great story (well the first two, the third one just confuses the heck out of me), great weapons, and its fun in multiplayer. For it's day, it was (and still is) on of the more original games I've played. Gameplay wise, it just beats the pants of of HALO. Sure, it doesn't have all the flashy graphics, but it introduced a bunch of new stuff to the FPS gaming scene...like alternate firing weapons, two handed weapons, a STORYLINE (other than, demons attack, blast the f**kers!!!) If you really want to go off, its basically HALO's predecessor...but that goes off on another topic, and this forum is about Lugaru...so yeah. Go to http://marathon.bungie.org/story if you want more info n' stuff.

UT, my bad.

I doubt that just because Marathon was one of the most original games of its time, or because it introduced a set of ideas to the FPS genre that you can say it was better than Halo. People say that really old games were better than modern games are all the time, but it just seems like nonsense to me. It's not even a challenge in my opinion. Like saying the old Final Fantasy games were better or GoldenEye for the N64. Those games were brilliant then, not now. Even average games from this day can beat them easily.

Sorry for going off-topic. I felt I needed to get that off my chest.
