It seems like every week you think of more and more genious ideas to make the game that much more interesting to play. Much appreciated Pacer, GREAT WORK!!!!!......again. Ill see u later at practice.Do u think u will have the health increased into a new mod by then? pleeeeeease

I know you had me in mind when you created this mod. Because as everyone knows the HoRe is all about the hero part. Running the orb destroying the enemys orb as you all know I have a overall "Blaze of glory" UT3 style. So thanks Pacer oh btw will it be named after me.......J/k good work Pacer.

Awesome. I was smiling after every one on the list

At Noot's request I've created another version which starts you off with 240 health and sets weapon speed at 75% above stock.  It is called GOW Gang War X.  You guys can try this version out on the UNK Rifle maps but I think these changes make normal weapons feel very weak.  If you want to cater everything for the UNK Rifle you can save yourself a ton of extra downloading and disk space by creating a weapon replacement mod for the UNK Rifle rather than cooking it into a second version of every map.

As for me, I'll stick to the variety you get with a mix of effective weapons.  Speaking of which, I feel like the flak cannon is really weak compared to how it was in previous versions of UT.  Maybe Epic thought it was too powerful before.  For me, now it's worse than the link gun and the shock rifle.  Maybe I just don't know how to use it properly.  Thoughts?

I think its strong in DM and against vehicles but if your opponent is more then 5 feet away from you then its time to cahnge weapons.l I think its pretty balnced but thats just me. I played the PC demo and is it me or does the shock rifle shoot way better then on the ps3 version?

I think #2 is gonna be the most fun becuase I been impact jumping like crazy latley. Sounds like a good time ;)

after playing with this a little last night i think it may be too dominant to give 30 seconds of invulnerability to the player that dives on the opponent's orb.  ultimately it will take the "run-and-gun" out of our games because you'll want to always guard your foremost node with your orb and wait for the opponent to make an orb run at you... as soon as he drops his orb, dive on it then run your orb to the next node.  if both teams employ that strategy, you have a very defensive match.

who thinks giving the reincarnate something like a shield belt or 30 seconds of double damage would be better?

U damage or invisability

shield belt.  This gives you a chance to make your next "life" more meaningful, as all heroes should.

I think the shield belt would make alot more sense. Also I wanted to talk to you about taking the quad jump out of the gangwar package. Dont get me wrong I love the quad jump but every so often it would be nice to switch it up

some people really hate quad jump... not so fun dueling with a pogo stick. plus, with the new boosted impact hammer jump you can still get up really high... you just have to give up your range weapon for a few seconds. do you think it would be cool to leave it so you can still jump a bit higher than normal but just dial it back to double jump?

we can tweak all this stuff and come up with the right balance... i just need feedback.

also, rather than choosing between shield belt and double damage for reincarnated heros, maybe just give 'em both?

yeah maybe a little higher jump would be cool. other than that do u think we would be able to tweak the height and speed u get after you release yourself off of the uberboard?

Double damage could work but only for a short period of time, say 15 seconds or so

increasing the jump height maybe a good compromise for the quad jump. i'm not so sure about being rewarded for destroying an enemy orb though... Your reward is making the enemy wait for their orb to respawn and run it back to the node which gives you time to advance. sounds fair?

i just had a thought... rather than dialing back the orb-diver's reward, maybe i should ramp it up but only give it after you've blown 10 orbs. you'd become a "superhero" for 60 seconds where you have invulnerability, double-damage, super-duper berserk, all weapons, and infinite ammo. this would almost never happen but it would certainly turn the tide in a stalemate. the only strategic play would be to have a designated orb-diver on your team and that has risks... leaving an orb around until the orb-diver arrives gives the other team a chance to recover it. i'd also want to increase the orb-dive damage so it always kills you so there's a price to pay for orb-diving. superhero wouldn't be something you'd change your game for... just something you'd hope for.
