Insta-Kill

[ModernArcher]

Hi!
I was playing in the Ball server, and i started thinking, how cool it would be if you could call an insta kill.
let me explain.
The insta kill would have to be earned, (maybe a 15-0/20-0 in the game? it would probably have to be higher for someone of a greater level) and once you got it you would type ''/instantkill<nickname>atG''
or something like that. you could, for example, choose a teams best bomb/ball carrier, and when the were getting close to goal/base, you would press G, (atG). They would die instantly! i think this could add some spice to a tbd or ball game anyway.
Ps. i know nothing of computer programming, so i honestly dont know how hard this would be to implement into the real game, but it would be quite the shock if you were cruising towards the goal, in the clear, and then BAM, you die instantly!
Just an Idea :P

wat is this i dont even

btw, i want a nuke when i get a 25 killstreak

Easy FU. Modern, I think if "Insta-Kill" was implemented, the developers would have to do a lot of balancing again - it would be so unbalanced. There would have to be a power up that allows you to resist "Insta-Kill" etc, etc.


On a side note, this is why Game Modding would be awesome for this game. We would be able to modify the game, then let others play it, and see if it is a good game addition. It would help with suggestions a lot - instead of going by what the person is saying, we could live it out.

ya, ajuk your probably right. thanks for not being a **** about it to, like someone

Ajuk, I disagree when you say that Instakill would imbalance the game. A 15 or 20 kill streak, an appropriate amount I think, is very rare and so it would be very rarely used. Even if an instakill was earned an average of once a game, (and I think it would probably be less than that) I don't think people would really mind being Instadead because it was so rare. Just like people don't really get angry when a nuke ends the game in MW2.

This is not a good idea. A 15-20 killstreak is easy for a vet that puts his mind to it, even in ladder games. Encouraging whoring isn't a way to get such an ability anyway.

And that's not true about MW2; I get plenty of rage messages when I call in a nuke, as do my friends.

The thought did cross my mind about it encouraging whoring.
I guess its just fun to think about being able to select someone then click enter and kill them as you please. I wish it could be practically implemented. Oh well.

if you read my original post, i said it would probably have to be higher for people of a greater level.
read
please
before
you
post.

btw ajuk, i think a whole new powerup to resist instankills wold be a tad ridiculous. think how fast powerups spawn, by the time you got 15-20 kills without a single death, 4/5 of the people in the game could have gotten the powerup!

[Kuja900]

To be honest anything like this at all would be a terrible idea and completely destroy the balance of the game, especially in 5v5 competitive play.

Define "levels". Do you mean ingame rank, ladder rank, or social economic status? Write out a better post before you go telling people to go read half-cocked.

Heyyy that was my plan all along to avoid prestige ranking so it could define me as a "lesser level player" so that I may receive carbon copy CoD advantages ^_^.

Meanwhile, I'm going to sell my house and live in a cardboard box so that I can "nuke" rich people. Vague terms are fun. :P

[gemigemi]

Would encourage kill whoring = bad. And the idea overall is quite silly.

[ModernArcher]

@ gemigemi
lol, ya. honestly looking back on it, idk what i was thinking, caught up in the idea i guess.

@ evan i was thinking itd have to be different kill streak for players of different levels ON different ace ranks, e.g. itd be diff for ppl on lvl 1-60 WITHIN ace rank 1-2
and diff for ppl on lvl 1-60 WITHIN ace rank 3-4, etc...

Ok just in case my sarcasm was missed before, this is idea would massively imbalance the game and at the same time encourage kill whoring, which I assure you is even less fun then normal when everyone and their mother is doing it -_-.

Calm down, he already admited it was a silly idea and he didn't know what he was thinking, there's no need to keep bashing him now.
