instagib ut2k4 ??????????

[legacy-Ze@lot]

does anyone know if instagib is gonna be any different in ut2k4.
luv it or hate it there are a lot of us gibbers out there, and i for
one have not heard nothing about it. from what i've gathered we
will get some new maps & may or may not get a new gun model.

and that seems to be it. whoopie doooooooooo bring on ut2k4 :(

Instagib = NW-maps without weapons/PicUps, etc... ...new NW-maps => New IG Maps.

IG-ShockRifle = Normal ShockRifle... ...new ShockRifle Model => New IG-ShockRifle.




Could also be, that EPIC includes a new beam and a new sound for the rail/beam.

I hope they don't ruin the weapon-balance for IG-DeathMatch. :mad:

Huh? :weird:
I would indeed be pretty impressed if Instagib ends up being "unbalanced" :p Of course, unbalanced is not the same as "****ed up". That's doable alright.

Anyway, instagib is pretty much just NW gameplay with stuff left out. It's only logical that if you choose to leave stuff out, you get less new stuff with a new game, since lots of the new stuff for NW (new weapons, vehicles) is left out as well.

I'm pretty sure that there is some work around for insta and vehicles, and I mean from official sources not just my head or rumours. I'm sure I read it in some preview/interview or something.

If i remember correctly an insta shot does 1000 damage so something could be worked out.

Still won't be as good as with NW tho I admit

Are you on crack?

[legacy-ChampionOfGod]

Oh please no, i just dislike Instant gib so much. I will, however hope that, the game itself would include some sort of SUPER mutator that, anables to filther it out from the servers browser before you even install the game.:haha:

I seen a pic of the new shock rifle model :)


and if instagib does 100 points of damage, then im guessing it will take several shots to destroy a vehicle, but I doubt anyone is gonna play assult & onslaught with IG to begin with... unless someone is going for something diffrent :confused:

[Angel_Mapper]

I don't like any of the new weapon models, especially the Assault Gun. The one I saw was too blocky compared to the sleek 2k3 one. :bulb:

People will.

Every mutator you hate, someone else likes.

Every mutator you like, someone else hates.

C'est La Vie.

Epic did say that the new IG mutator will take vehicles into account and won't be one-shot kills.

They also changed the Low-Grav mutator so that the the Low-Grav affects players not vehicles.

Etc.

champion of god - you can filter out insta gib aready in 2k3. Which I did the second I installed it.

Na, the 2k3 one still owns it. That one looks like something out of Spatial Fear. :bulb:

your like 25ys old and still not able to post decent messages on this forum... rather u keep it with the spam for you and for us on a different forum! The dukenukem forever looks a nice place for you... :down:

to get on topic, If u watched one of the gamespy movies, or gamespot... u can see the new shockrifle model several times, so that probably will be our new instagib 'rifle' from behind few it looks like a big freaking block / shotgun... i got my high hopes for UT2k4 iCTF altough the CTF maps that ive seen now didnt really impressed me much... :(

What's so wrong with IG, seriously? I play both NW and IG and I don't prefer either of them. As a matter of fact, I just came from a game of iBR and had the most fun I had had in a while :mad: :up:

[legacy-Apocalypse>ION<]

I would of thought that a nice twist in UT2k4 when it comes to insta and vehicles could be that it didn't affect it. Working on the premise that the beams destroys all biological life it comes into contact with.

Seems pretty silly to me that a small laser beam could blow up a tank with one shot.

...and to me, makinig it take more than one shot doesn't make it insta anymore. Insta had always been about 1 shot, 1 hit, 1 kill. It's the simple nature of the game that makes it so much fun.

Again, on a personal level, I don't really care about any new weapon models in the game, as I play with weapon hidden.

As much as I like InstaGib, it has always been a Mutator, not a seperate game-type. As such, its features should be limited by what Mutators can inherently offer. If the gun-model can be changed, great. (Although why some people don’t disable the weapon-view with IG is beyond me.) If the sounds and effect can be improved, great. But the appeal of IG is its simplicity; add too much and you start to take away from what it was designed to be — a simple game-play change.

UT2004 will be very diverse; IG will provide the “dumbed-down” game-play for those who need something a little less than what UT2004 offers. Imagine UT2004 as a smorgasbord of game-play variation — some people like to dig in with both-hands (NW players,) and others like to stick to using a tea-spoon and keep the portions small (IG players.) ;)
