2.4.2/2.3 play style and balancing
Lee_Stricklin created issue #94 (closed) on 2010-04-12T16:23:27Z:
After starting a discussion on the suggestion forum saying that Xonotic should have a more 2.4.2 style balance and play, I recieved a few responses mostly agreeing with what I said. To my understanding 2.4.2 was almost (but not quite) flawless in terms of gameplay and weapon balance. Further discussion later suggested that elements of 2.3 were also really good and may actually be useful for balancing what was wrong with 2.4.2. With that said here’s my breakdown of what would make it into a near-perfect 1.0 release:
2.4.2 movement and physics 2.4.2 health and armor 2.4.2 weapon balancing (including longer nex animation)
but with these modifications:
2.3 Crylink, 2.5 Camping Rifle (for now), and a rebalanced HLAC Fireball as mutator until weapon is completed User optional pogo stick (auto jump, hold down button to jump repeatedly) Xonotic look, sound, and atmosphere (duh)
