[Split] TAM/AM discussion

Why is a worst case being 50/50?

People would appreciate the variety.

Also liking the trolls voting in the poll. Who remembers the last time Nardaq played on the BW server?

Because the groups would be skilled players vs noobs and it would be just like AS / RACE in the attitude towards each other. But that's too much theorycrafting here actually. Simply there is some risk, without trying that we can't know. In a nutshell you can't expect that adding a new gametype is always ++. That's all.

Yeah it's why we can see who actually voted what.

Well TAM and Freon are basically just one team shooting the other, on the same maps in each.

It's a lot similar than say, comparing RACE to Assault.

[iZumo]

Expanded the previous post a bit. Sure it's a lot more similar, just used the RACE / AS for a reference.

btw. what about chaning PintSize to Kamikaze (for 30s: 2x damage, but also 2x damage taken (configurable actually)).

[iRobot]

Doing double damage would be way OP, even if you took 5x damage. You could oneshot people with a sniper.

For a better alternative to PintSize, I was wondering if you could have a combo where for 20 seconds, if you die, you will automatically revive somewhere on the map, without incurring a death. Reincarnation combo or something. It'd be something different.

[iZumo]

Hmm, that would be "real" kamikaze combo.

[iRobot]

Exactly, you could be aggressive without penalty. It'd be a nice combo to have. The revive would have to be with low HP however, otherwise it's just a better version of booster.
