Nooooooo, no more random please!

Well reaction time isnt random. It's a skill and it makes 100m olympic final a lot more interesting. We could even implement the same rules, false start if someone reacts faster than 0.1secs after the shot (need to be shorter in qw...). In multiplayer: 1st false start = warning, 2nd = disqualification.

Count me in

Hmm nail-climb like plasma-climb in Q3 (with SNG maybe), would be a great feature but we need good maps ala Defrag for it.

Ill all for the 3-2-1 start, but I'd rather not see a random start sequence. There are so many other factors that come into play to separate a good from a bad one, and I for one wouldn't want a seemingly perfect run to be ruined by a bad start. I think it's hard to focus on getting that great start after having raced for 45mins. You simply lose focus, I know I do.

Ye, this is prolly best, as it would work for both ghost/transparent/invisible multi-player races and solo world record attempts.

But I'm sure the "on your marks, get set.. then random bang" would be good for push-slide mode. This mode would also not have as much focus on time-attack, as it would be about winning the race.

Agreed

There are some good maps already by Zalon, his mod has nail climbing too.

Although, wouldn't the random time be especially important in time-attack, and not so much in push-slide mode? Could make a pro mode for competitions that would do this random factor, and a practice mode that will have a constant countdown.

No, in time-attack mode you just race against yourself, and every 1/100 of a second is important so no random starts. In "push-slide" the main objective is to be the first to cross the finish line, not so much to break the world record.

Ok, any other opinions on this?

I agree with tGM on this issue. Perhaps 3-2-1-go is best for all kind of modes, as people would be familiar with it and wouldnt have to learn 10 different modes.

Yeah it got nail-climbing, and it got freestyle multiplayer run, even tho a multiplayer race is in my todo

I disagree with the 3 2 1 go.
I like DeFrag in the respect that once you cross a line it starts timing.
Of course when you RACE you need a 3 2 1. But for demos and stuff........line crossing.

Zalon your mod looks very good btw haven't played it yet though, but it features look good

Hmmm..... Wut about overbounces?

overbounces?
