SPEAK YOUR MIND

"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free to move?"

"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

In Response To: Re: Critique: weapons (Captain Bob)

I just did a run through of Ingue Ferroque using the C variant -- I was able to hit every switch with it. (Even noting that the triggers are a bit removed from the actual switches, I didn't feel like I'd have any serious difficulty hitting any switch.)

If you drop the .u file I included in the zip into your UT/System folder and use the summon command "summon ModifiedAssaultRifle.MA75C" in game, you should be able to test it in any level you like.

I know I did some testing using the netmap Mars Needs Women, trying to gauge the flight paths and durations between the M1A1 incarnation and the M:R incarnations. I think what'd really need to be done for a serious semi-scientific comparison is to record a movie of each, so side-by-side comparisons could be done.

: I agree that version C is closer to Marathon than version
: B. The 'litmus test' is how far up I need to aim to
: correct for the drop, when aiming at a far wall. I
: think version C is still coming up short, that is, its
: range is lower than Marathon's grenades. But since we
: want to compromise between original Marathon and more
: realistic physics, it may be good enough. It's hard to
: tell in singleplayer, so hopefully someone can try it
: out in a netgame. Someone should also test
: singleplayer maps like Ingue Ferroque, where using
: grenades to hit switches the same way one would in
: Marathon has been impossible thus far.
