: A few brainstorm ideas, so to speak ... some are semi-serious, others are mere comic relief. :)

: (1) Modify the BFG weapon such that when fired, if it 'strikes' a player (including the predator) it causes them to light up (the ambient light caused by having their flashlights on) for a preset time - call it the "GlowStick Gun" or "Phosphor Cannon" instead of the BFG...

:yah this is a good idea but it shouldn't hurt pepole it should just light up the room and keep the people in the room light up for like 1 min or so.

: (2) Add a counter such that if a player camps for too long with their light off, they'll randomly make an ambient noise like a fart or a sneeze. Shouldn't have ate those beans!

:In my opinon i thin kthat this would get rather annoying after afew minutes.

: (3) I don't know if this has been rectified or not, but I've noticed that in previous versions, the player when dead can still toggle their flashlight off and on, and depending on what state the light was in when the player died, the light remained in that state after respawn. I'd say that lights should be off as part of a respawn, and the dead should not be able to toggle the light off and on. Again, this may have already been rectified - if not, it should be an easy fix (just exit out of the light toggle function when triggered if the player's health is negative).

:I always thought that this was a good thing it can add a whole new dimention to the game you know. OH MY GOD WHERE IS THAT LIGHT COMING FROM!!!!
: (4) Just for laughs, if a player walks around expertly for too long a period with their light off, add a counter that will randomly trigger a sound sample, something like "Ouch!" or "Whoa!" and cause a 'stumble' - either a slight change in direction or a sudden crouch. Who left that rock there?

:he he i do that a lot and i think that, that would be funny

: (5) Three words. Invisible banana peels. AAAAAAA! :)

for who tho? :)

: Enough of this, I guess. Keep up the good work, and heaven help y'all when the wave flows over my neighbourhood and my ping becomes a contender... :)
