Hello, I just had a crazy game mode concept. For example Quake 3/Live or a new game could have the following game mode: "There is this crown" that can be picked up. When you have the crown the meter starts ticking... and you are gathering up points. The objective is to collect the most points by wearing the crown the longest ! "Like a king of the crown" :) Everybody comes after you :) LOL. (When you get killed the crown drops to the floor, so others can pick it up ! :) ) An alternative idea could be a team-crown mode... were one player is wearing the crown and everybody gets points as long as the team is wearing the crown ! =D Bye, Skybuck =D

Another variation of this idea could be the following: Everbody gets to wear the crown for say 10 seconds. The computer simply selects somebody at random who gets to wear the crown... evenly distributed like a shuffle. Then when you receive the crown from the computer your character model lights up and gets a crown above it's head ! People can only get points by killing the wearer of the crown ! =D So at some point you're chasing the crown... and then suddenly it flips to somebody else... IT COULD BE YOU ! =D LOL. Everybody turning on you ! LOL. Bye, Skybuck ;)

Yeah, it was alright. There was an additional element too that if you killed enough people NOT wearing the halo, you became "unclean", and a swarm of flies surrounded you, buzzing; I can't recall all the penalties though. > Did it last long ? As long as you wanted. You would lose the halo if you were killed, but also you could just throw it away if you wanted, but you could only score by killing the person with the halo, or having the halo and killing others plus a bonus for how long you stayed alive, so you had the incentive to wear it as much as you could. -- //*================================================================++ || Russ Perry Jr 2175 S Tonne Dr #114 Arlington Hts IL 60005 || || 847-952-9729 russperryjr@sbcglobal.net VIDEOGAME COLLECTOR! || ++================================================================*//

There was also Catch (or maybe it was capture) the Chicken. It was a team game with up to four teams, and when you had the chicken, you weren't able to use weapons. You only scored points by holding the chicken, and only for about twenty seconds. Of course, you could throw the chicken down and immeadiately pick it up again. My nephew Josh would throw the chicken at an attacker, kill them, then retrieve the chicken.

We mostly did capture the flag, but it was entertaining enough. -- //*================================================================++ || Russ Perry Jr 2175 S Tonne Dr #114 Arlington Hts IL 60005 || || 847-952-9729 russperryjr@sbcglobal.net VIDEOGAME COLLECTOR! || ++================================================================*//
