hey guys, yesterday i was playing a bit of F.E.A.R 3 with OnLive Free trial and i was thinking, we should make a scary gametype for CoD4, so it hit me with a bang, i started to think of some vision techniques and some effects to tag to the enemy origin, and thought this is going to work out successfully, and ive started to write up a few scripts today.
Heres the plan, we stick AI (or real players) at random to the other team (like hawkins auto team change). heres a few ideas ive got for each type of beast.
ALMA(the mother) - then we tag them to the survivors with a trigger, this will cause debris to fly around and the player will have a blurred field around them to make it look really cool, flickering invisible on and off or become visible when she approaches the survivor(which will make people jump). when she approaches a survivor the floor will vibrate in footstep motion (using the earthquake script) which will build up a dramatic atmosphere.
Hunters(The Infected) - these will be either fast or flickering invisible, these are the beasts who hunt you down at high speeds and can jump at you from any point of the map, who knows? it could be above you!
Survivors (the humans) - well, everyone knows what survivors do, they stay alive, but this time all you have is a pistol,knife and a touch to fight your way through these endless rounds!
Map Effects - at certain parts of the map (or certain times ingame) you will experience flash-backs or dramatic effects, this can be a problem for you, the hunters can still get you, alma will seek you but will not harm you! The map will also be very dark, so i would advise you to use your torch!
Have YOU got any ideas or effects you would like to see in this gamemode? quote or PM me with your ideas!

OFFTOPIC: the gamemodes Realism and Z-HaVoC are allmost finished, adding the finishing touches and it should be ready soon!

Why dont you let people volunteer for the coding and tell them to post it once done and see who compiles it the best once all is posted.. It will be good to have a little fun besides the scenes being quite lately :/ HOWEVER i will go to work on the dingy grudgy enviroment and effects
