Bombing Spree 2.0.1

[legacy-Uncommon]

Name: Bombing Spree
Version: 2.0.1
Compatibility: UT2004
Description: Bombing Spree is Bombing Run with more balls - up to 4 can be in play, with the option of team balls that can only be picked up by their own team. Balls also explode, redeemer style, when scored or reset. Plays on all BR maps.
Comments: This release fixes the problem where net game clients didn't show ball locations in the HUD. Version 2.0 brought the game to UT2004, and added the ability to specify ball spawn locations in the .ini file.

that looks sweet

Good job. A nice break from the normal BR. :D

Thanks for the bump ;)

I'm downloading it because I always wanted to play bombing run UT99 style again, where the bomb/ball detonates redeemer style at the enemy base. I to this day still think Epic lifed the BR concept from that UT99 mutator.

Edit: Just tried it, its pretty awesome :D, it's actually more fun with the team bals than with just the one :).

Cool, a great improvement on one of my favorite game types.

First, a "Bump" is a reply that pushes the topic to the top of the forum list.

Next, I would like the option to turn OFF the redemer explosions (if t isnt there. It's just annoying to me. I play BR for the sport and not the explosions. People dying is a nice side effect, but I don't think BR is fully understood by the general public.

(If you want to get a taste for how bombing run should be played, find a server running a small, simple, chaotic BR map and you will see how strategy plays an integal part of the game.)

The idea of too many balls just kinda ruins the spirit of the game for me. Its about a stuggle, a tug-of-war, and a battle of wits, not a mad scoring frenzy like this. You took away the football aspect of it for a game that looks more like American Gladiators' "Powerball".

Uncommon: Thanks for the comment. I should have based my response as a personal opinion.

[legacy-Uncommon]

I understand. I agree that the transition from one ball to many has a drastic effect on how the game is played. Some like it, some don't. I just have fun giving you the option.

I like this idea, its obviously a more open game, and more players makes it more fun, but...

Just a thought, what if there were more than one goal, but you had to score in each of the goals to actually win!? Big maps w/ lots of goals and lots of players... Sounds like a hoot to me!

That thing with ball to each goal sounds like Incursion in Flag Domination

Bombing Run sucks so much, the only time I ever played it was in the SP ladder. Can't frggin stand it. This mutator makes it so much more fun. A simple concept like adding more balls makes the game type so much better. Thank you for this :D

[legacy-vitriolix]

any servers running this? i'd like to try it out with some people...
