Title: Holy Hand Grenade.
Post by: Mwa on August 18, 2006, 01:01:25 pm
How about a holy hand grenade that H can buy as s3.  Costs 2500 credits and deals a giant amount of damage in a huge blast radius.

Also makes any human holding it shine and plays music all the time, so it's painfully obvious if someone's coming up with one.
Has a 1 second fuse. :D

2500 is a little expensive but I guess it can be done :) If the damage radius is big enouth, it'll be the perfect weapon to clean once and for all a big alien base.

And you CAN reach stage four using the console you know. Don't forget to check the goodies you reach at stage 43 btw.

[reading] And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths, and carp and anchovies, and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit-bats and large chu... [skips a bit]

And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

Sounds like a great idea.. aliens should get the rabbit.. right click locks onto the nearest neck.. left click bites the head off... btw ... make sure you read the manual for how to use the holey hand grenade... that would be a pain to explain in game...

Reminds me of an extremely cool FPS I used to play.  It was called Purge Jihad.  Weird name, but it was pre-9/11 and such.

It was also an FPS with some RTS elements, as well as some RPG elements.

The Wastelander and Monk classes could drop nukes and angelfires, respectively.  It worked pretty well in that game, as damage was determined by XP, and how you distributed points among intelligence, strength, and such.  The classes were diametrically opposed, so balance wasn't too bad, although things got crazy towards the end of it's popularity.

Really, it's not dissimilar from Tremulous.  The goal was to destroy the other team's respawn portal, with different classes able to build different constructions.

A shame it wasn't more popular.

then make sure you don't have anything like adblock blocking the flash, i have the same flashplayer and i can see them just fine. also, this thread was pointless in the first place, so why do you care if i derail it?

And a blast radius shorter than its throwing range?

I realize that this was part joke, but I think that if it was done right it could solve the problem of S3 v. S3 aliens almost always win. It should cost 600, because then humans would have to chose which 2 top items (others being BSuit, and Luci). Please check my math (I think a BSuit is 1000, but am not sure). It should blow up about three times the size of regular grenade and have just enough fuse for human to get away without dieing. If two or three of the got into an alien base it could ruin it. Devs, Please consider something like this for the next version.

Edited for spelling

Why would it cost 2500 credits, when you can only have 2000 max? Just saying.

It would make the aliens spread base more, but thats ok. They can already build anywhere on the map.
