blast of death
10-16-2004, 11:58 AM
I was playing ball on detrious (spel?) and the score was 4 to 13. I was using my light offense loadout ( disc, chaingun, grappler, epack, w/catapult ) and I grappled the ball, grappled over to the goal, and threw it in. The goal buzzer sound went off twice, I had two messages saying blast of death [goal] scored, and the score was now 6 to 13.
:roller:

I had this happen to me this morning as well. I hit the very edge of the goal, near the bottom and I scored 2 points.

I would be surprised but it seems as though the only gametype with any polish, and that's not saying much, is CTF.

I just played a few maps of ball to try it out and it's just Throw The Flag with same stuff as CTF: rape rape, repair, set up turrs, rape rape while 1 cowboy actually executes the objective of the gametype. Spiridian is just ugh for this gametype. What's with buckler not being able to bounceback the ball?? Given the touted object-oriented aspects of T:V UGM it --seems-- like the ball is the same as the flag with different graphics for the carryable. If I am not mistaken you can't BB the flag right :-) ? Not looking for TR3 here but the focus should be on a different game TYPE with same rules/physics but focused on getting, passing the ball and less on same old routines as CTF...just my two Euros... :-(
PS. Fuel is actually fun and offers a --bit-- of twist to the same old CTF gameplay.
