Title: New Gamemode
Post by: [ERROR_42] on December 08, 2013, 04:02:43 PM
it would be interesting to see a "Horde" mode, sort of like CoD zombies. Players would team up, and fight hordes of... something. Maybe a custom enemy.

Kind of Invasion from UT2004? It's a neat idea. And would fit OA. Then again, we need 3D modellers who can export into OA's format.

Perhaps you could use certain existing models for it instead. Like the humanic character fight against the hordes of mechanic or monsterious themed characters.

Hard to tell. Very unlikely at short-term... maybe in long term. The problem here is that, while we have various people capable of making maps, we have very few people who put their hands on gamecode to fix bugs and to add new features, and only one artist who makes 3D models. Development of OA is very slow....  :-[

By the way, if you want to fight monsters, you may try "Save the Universe" and "Escape from Hell" modes of "Hunt" Q3 mod.

Note: you really should read the compatibilty infos in that wiki page to be able to play it under OA.

The more knowledge you know about coding, the higher the chance would be for inclusion. If not, perhaps start your own mod.

Just a small note: maybe you may like to try the "Hunt" q3 mod:
