[W.I.P.] Traintop Firefight - Actually original co-op point-and-shooty!

[Cybertails1998]

"What the forget?"
Traintop Firefight is a challenge aimed at people who want actual cooperativity. It pits you, a distressed passenger, against terrorists who somehow took a speeding train by force. You are tasked with getting out of the passenger wagon, going into the driver seat and halting the train without expiring or dun-goofing off in the process.

"Pics or no clicks!"
Later.

"Why the hell?"
I wanted to do something productive over the spring break, and didn't want to just screw around on tumblr or games. I had thoughts about a deathmatch on/in a train or jet, and then I saw Pliny's Vehibuild topic. I took the save, waited for motivation to kick in and got to work, splitting wagons together and onto a big concrete pillar.

"Who the hell?"
19783 Navar0nius - Putting build together, eventing, this topic
8448 Alchemy - Minor help building
30613 Goldtits - Minor help eventing
9760 Pliny - Making the train in the first place

"Again, pics or no clicks!"
Fiiiiine. Take a seat.













I expect to finish this by the end of November if it doesn't go into development hell.

I love TDMs in small scale maps like trains. This will be awesome when it's finished :)

This is a TDM though?

planned as a co-op map (see "what the forget" above) but at the moment it doesn't have enemies or a set goal, so it can be a TDM too

I dont see enough room for strategic maneuvering. Being confined to a hallway with guns is just a slaughter fest.

I'm planning to have the brown wagons have interior. One of them already has one, and can be used to hide if your opponent is stupid.

Also, take into regard the challenge of not dying due to the tracks.

not really a challenge, more of an annoyance

so are the civs supposed to avoid the terrorists like an hide or seek or do they somehow have guns

civs start out with a pistol, and are pitted against fewer terrorists with AKs. or SPAZs. or some other generic weaponry.

actually i've playtested and pistols are quite powerful

hey since your server is lagging a bit, i could host a dedicated server for you

you should give them non-T+T melee (or nerfed T+T melee) like bats, paddle, etc. and have a pistol item found when checking luggage in the cars

how will ammunition play out in this game? looking at how it seems to be set up this might be a significant factor.

sure thing

i am not in the mood of scavenging rtb so if you have a candidate let me know

as for the pistol idea yeah

how will ammunition play out in this game? looking at how it seems to be set up this might be a significant factor.

when betatesting ijust set all starter ammo to 999

ammo will likely just be limited to your starter ammo.

quick question, is there a good mod that makes AI combatants?
