Erm... how about no? Seeing as you are the only person I know that wants it, you can just use the mutator yourself.

Why wouldn't it work for multiplayer?

Defenders would choose one set of skills. Keepers another. Attackers different still...

Adds variety to the game.

Stu, we had this discussion long ago. this would not be possible, caus it wud simply kill gameplay. there wud be no skill or tactic needed, if someone is faster or has a better volley radius.
these are only some examples of reasons, go search older threads about this theme for more.

Wouldn't it mean there would be more tactics and skill needed?

As defender - do you decide to increase your tackle range and stay back, or increase speed to cover more ground.

Would effect the way you play the game. You use the skills you've chosen to your advantage.

The key is 'balance'. One attacking skill is offset by an alternate defensive skill.


I don't believe soccer has been killed because some players are taller - others are faster... etc.


Saying it would kill gameplay is just a cop out. Its saying its too hard to achieve balance.... which is wrong.


If I as defender increase my volley radius to swat away more balls... then use your speed to create better space. etc

I Hope if there is a Multiplayer, it won't be like in UT2k3 :? it is teh same shit like in UT1 :?

Would be better if there are enemy teams, and there is a league or sth.... not just a ladder...

Anyway... I Agree with Stu... but i think teh others are right too. I think we'll have to see how it works in SP (when there will be any :P) ansd then we can say that it should be played in Multi or not...

Anyway. If DB will be completely free from UT... than wat will happen? Like TacOps it will be avaible in teh shops (although in Hungary I haven't seen it :? ) Or will it be only a free downloadable game? Or do we have to pay for it???? We who make teh community live \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/

ps: y not make 2 multiplayer modes, to keep us busy after everything has been implemented (v5.8 approx.), with the RPG mode being one of them...u know, to keep us busy before UT2006 comes out :)

Sure it wud have little to do with the original gameplay, that's y it shudnt be implemented in the same mode..just..u know, 2 multiplayer modes =/ Like there's Deathball and Deathball Tennis now :o \o/

Or you could have predefined 'characters'


For example, look at Gorge! There's no way he can run as fast as someone like Rrrrrremus! Gorge is a fatty! A FATTY!


So you could give him a slightly bigger catch radius or something (he's bigger) but uhh.. he moves slightly slower. BAM! That'd work, right? Maybe not.

Astro's idea would work for single player mode with the bots.

Just use UT2003RPG...


It does all of that stuff. Fun on LAN w/ my friends and level 300-400 players, deathball becomes crazy. Try it. It wouldn't work online because there would be too many ppl w/ different levels. A level 400 player wouldn't even be able to get killed by a level 100, let alone a level 1 :D... Balance would be a huuuuuuge issue.

If u want fun on a lan or private game tho, ut2003RPG and DB together are great. Just up your weapon speed (refire rate) and your weapon strength, and u will have kewl volley abilities :D. And if everyone else is around the same level, madness ensues.
