Hook Ammo Poll
 
Hook Ammo or not?

Other.

Maybe limit the flag capper 5-10 grapples (enough to get back to base). The refire idea might even work, but I think ammo would be better.

I voted for but I im not in beta :X

Yankee 08-08-2004 12:50

not only should there be ammo, the length of time spent on one shot should be limited, to say, 10 seconds....

BlueBlaze 08-08-2004 12:50

I am NOT IN the beta and FOR ammo.

TF_Baxter 08-08-2004 12:50

It sounds like 20 ammo might be too low, but I think I might change my mind after playing. You can still pick up grappler ammo from dead people, so being a grapple whoring while carrying the flag on Cavern will take even more skill.

We shall see. I kind of liked the grapple the way it is, other than heavies grappling to the roof and mortaring people which I think it pretty lame - but grappler ammo won't do anything to fix that :-(

Theta 08-08-2004 12:51

Depends how much ammo. If it's 5, then I dun like ammo. If it's 20, then fine.

Vampire 08-08-2004 12:55

I don't like the idea of a time limit, but ammo may be something that needs to happen.

I like the idea of unlimited free swinging, but it seems like it may become a difficult balance issue.

SMURFHATER 08-08-2004 12:57

I like the time limit idea.

I-C-E 08-08-2004 13:45

maybe make it a server option.
if competition wants unlimited or ammo, it can be up to them.
if a pub server wants unlimited or ammo, it can be up to the server owner.

Granted it is a problem (from what I've heard ~ not in beta), but I don't think limiting the number of shots is the best way to go. However, if a better solution can't be found then I could live with finite ammunition.

jerry 08-08-2004 13:51

if the grapple has "hook ammo" then wouldnt you need to reskin the grappler

there shouldnt be a reel

edit: i prefer being able to only grapple hard surfaces

$hogun 08-08-2004 13:58

I can guess that I'd prefer no hook ammo. But I'll reserve that decision until after I get my sticky lil fingers on the beta.

Chaoz 08-08-2004 14:01

Well if it turns out Hook Ammo sucks, I'm sure it will be an easy change back.

Zhimin 08-08-2004 14:15

I wasn't in the beta, but I think grappler is a transportation tool like the jetpack that enchance the freedom of movement. So limit the ammo is like limite the freedom of movement.

I think 20 is plenty of ammo, and so right now I am in favor of grappler ammo.

NAT Mav 08-08-2004 14:21

I'm happy to test it with ammo, but I'd like to see it a little higher at least during beta so we have more shots to test with. I realize that it's being abused at the moment, mainly on cavern, but that's probably because players haven't found a good way to counter it yet.

Spigz 08-08-2004 14:24

Reserved judgement til I can play the fker ;/

windexy 08-08-2004 14:28

Heh you only need 4-5 grapples to get across a map like the Caverns. So you could technically grab the flag and grapple around for awhile but it stops cappers from abusing it and hanging around non-stop on the ceilings.

Yogi 08-08-2004 14:32

This poll is proceeding exactly how I expected it would.
