... with team mates too.

 

Would be cool & fun... =)

 

P.S. Wipers required?

Would be major fun!

I think that more or less conventional paint splashes all over your HUD aren't your principal concern about this neither... isn't it? ;)

 

TThese could go rendered with some transparency factor on order to make the whole thing visually less intrusive...

 

Also could dissolve after a short period of time..

 

.. Wipers (as mech part purchase if you wish) might automatically do their thing when required to have your HUD clean and nice during the paintball training ... or even uses of such a mech part via extra purchases as extinguishers, et cetera..

 

Not my job anyways... but it's a real possibility in the future. =)

"Epic" content that what you typed in your profile: location you quasi-unknown forumite.

 

/*

Location:ERROR 404 (seriously, I'm member 404 on the forums, what a coincidence!) o.o So.... here we are, you looking to see where I'm from and I'm here just counting on the fact that you are continuing to read this. By the way, do you come here often? Pretty nice weather we're having today. It's weird really, I really wonder what the limit is for this. It certainly longer than I thought it would be. My username is quite weird right? Funny story, I did not know it would end up like that, but it certainly fits the whole '404 ERROR' thing right? Anyway, if you're still reading this, you must be quite the curious person to continue reading this kind of thing. You want me to tell you where I'm from don't you? Are you a government agent from the secret police waiting to turn me in for some crime I've not commited? Nay sir! I shan't give you such info! Move along with your life instead of reading this. ....What? You still here? I get the impression you're the person who's just waiting for something exciting to happen. NO, DON'T BE LIKE THAT. You should be the one who CREATES that action. Do something with your life! You can do it! I believe in you! You can change anything you want if you set your mind to it! DON'T LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS. BELIEVE IN ME WHO BELIEVES IN YOU! YES YOU CAN. Be the person you want to be. You have to cross that line in the race to reach the finish. Nothing is impossible! Cross mountains to reach that goal. Become the dynamic adventurer and not a flat boring cardboard background character. Everyone has a story, this is yours! Why read about the amazing feats of others when you can be the one creating those amazing moments? What are you waiting for?!? You are the one who is the master of your fate! I'm just a person who is simply opening the door for you. Now get going and DO IT! MAKE IT POSSIBLE. MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. *flexes*

Instead of pressing C to pack up and repair, press C to pack up and get the paint washed off.

When in doubt, attack your own team. You will still get points for it!

I like this idea, you can test hit reg on mechs also. :thumbsup:

Assuming that mechs go in offline right after being hit by some particular max number of "paint-balls" per class... ergo no kills on the battlefield, just disabled mechs instead.. right?

 

So let's assume (following those lines on game mechanics for this potential new mode) that one team mate can use his/her own drone to repair disabled friendlies on the BF during a match. As in co-op..

 

If not, then pilots after "being killed" are mostly gonna quit the match.. Yes?

 

This game mode for practicing does not look so bad to me at this given point... ;)

I'm a bit confused here. To me this just sounds like the regular game modes we have with paint instead of explosions. Is that about right, or am I missing something?

We're just exploring possibilities... And seems to be that this has more real potential now than what I foresaw about it some few weeks ago...

 

Read it and tell me on whether the concept is looking like more promising as a whole or not. Still inherently raw but... well, go ahead and share what your thoughts are on whether worths some deeper evaluation or not.. ;)

This idea sounds like a great opportunity to create a new game mode and this sounds like it could be fun with many possibilities. New types of paint job cameos with a military look and theme and special Paint-Mode items  (Goggles/ wiper shields)  for your mech that could be purchased from the store (money for the devs ?). Team Alpha, Bravo, Delta, Zulu...etc....I'm guessing this would be a team oriented game mode but maybe a singles DM could be another option. 

 

This could have silly stuff added into it like say car (mech) wash stations strategically placed throughout the map. Maybe a player that gets a 4 or 5 kill streak, instead of a blue skull, gets a blue mech wash icon and can use it for a free wash.

 

I would think to get a kill one would have to cover the opponents mech with a certain % of paint to score a death. (mech wash would come in handy if you have one and survive)

 

Weapons could be reworked to fire different amounts and colors of paint, items such as EMPs could explode paint as an offensive weapon or maybe paint thinner as a defensive weapon to help a teammate.

 

This could even incorporate a capture the flag aspect within it.

 

I'm sure if this concept ever did take a serious hold that others could come up with many more interesting and fun ideas that could lead to other game modes for Hawken.

 

Just wanted to share a few wacky ideas swirling around in my head since reading the OP suggestion here...and a good suggestion it was  :thumbsup:

ps : as for the devs to be able to do something like this, I understand may be quite difficult and not possible....but whether or not that's the case and if something like this would get enough support to attempt...I was just throwing some ideas out there.

Yep, good ideas; indeed.

 

IMO, the main 2 points to make this mode feasible enough on the in-game battlefield would be:

 

1.- To handle and managing paint-ball hits in the same inner way that we actually have in the game; obviously visuals aside.

 

2.- The second main point would be solving & staying away from the cliché mechanics of 1 hit (obviously) or the some few hits to definitely kill a player during a match.

 

Edit: Storm here..

 

Too purist although not a possibility to be ignored for further tournament variants of the game mode. Who knows what the future might depare us.. =)

 

... But at first glance, such classical mechanics for this game mode would not make the whole thing appealing enough... I elaborated a little on this in my previous posts in here too.

 

Ok, let's put more thoughts on the table about this.. ;)

 

3.- Residual paint might be managed in 2 different ways. Quick dissolve for paint-balls which do not hit any PC (Playable Character) / NPC (Non Playable Character), item, Bot(?), Et cetera. And slower residual paint-balls dissolving slower after hitting stuff. This approach on how to render residual paint might open the possibility of following the footprints of mechs cloaking during the match. Just an idea though..

 

Go it guys
