It's meant for the pubs.. not for actual league play.

Would be extremely annoying imo >_<

it might be fun for the first to games on the pubs, but it gets really fucking annoying.
the zounds will be spammed.

North American opinions anyone? Although I am inclined to agree with these guys on this one, could be funny the first two times but things like this can get dangerously repetitive. Although, no harm giving it a test drive and see how people react to it. That's what you run a server for =P

Here's a different spin on it to reconsider..

How about with recorded deathball tips for those noobs that can't seem to read what people take the time to type to them?

I think this one would be a hit.

* Boosting is hitting your opponent with your gun..etc *

crap

Thinking of how to do this reminds me of the old "Intro to Deathmatch" map for the original UnrealTournament. It led you by the hand in doing each necessary basic skill.

Man, we need that for DB.

We'll press forward with this idea in the meantime though. Link at the top of this thread is to the Zounds project thread on lagfrag.com. Pop in and add input if you're so inclined.

yes we need a matinee. it's much smaller than downloading a video.

i'm sure david knows how to do matinees.

Messy · Post by **Messy** » 26-12-2004 21:50

Matinees have been suggested before D:
Thought they were even planning that /o\

Would be ace imo

any chance we can still have 'em?

Or one of those live tutorial modes where you have to achieve certain goals, like boosting, double boosting, shooting, volleying etc.

Could be combined with the suggestion in another thread about the newbies-only server..so that you have to complete this to switch to the 'adult' Deathball servers

IIRC, ONP had a nice in-game tutorial for learning how to command your Nali 'squad'.
