My idea for a mod. (Doesn't mean I can do it)

Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2003 2:39 pm

I miss the old arcade style games. I miss playing for points. I miss going through levels just blasting things and avoid dying. I miss power ups and killing to get better guns.
UT2K3 needs something like this. Not another mod that looks and plays exactly like every other mod. My vision of a mod would play more like the old fashion top or side scrollers of the past, but of course using the finest 3D engine available. I happpen to know that there are a lot of talented unreal scripters that could turn out something pretty fast. No need to make new weapons, just change how some of them work. Run out of ammo?, lose your gun. Start of with like 3 extra men, work through the levels and getter better stuff. I'm talking old school stuff. Get different points for killing different monsters or whatever. Well, that's it. I just had to get that off my chest. I'll pray that someone, someday does something cool like this.

Thanks Raven, for taking the time to find it. It's not quite what I had in mind, but it still looks cool.

your MOD idea sounds like Serious Sam / Will Rock type of game, aye?

Sorry I haven't played either of those games, so I have no idea. I like Proelium, but it is extremely hard. It would be much easier to aim if you could place the cursor over the target instead of just the general direction of your opponent, much like the old game SmashTV. I would also decrease the size of the field.
