: Hey i think that some cool powerups would be like getting a grenade that will light up the whole room like all of it for like 10-20 sec.

Sure, the time duration on the flare is variable.
Radius of light is harder to do.

: We also need some wepones for the HPB community. Things like a beam lazer that will do damage if the beam is on him for like 3 sec. Or like just doing 1 health damage for every .5 sec. You know just kind of drains their health slowly.

I hear you, believe me. I may be an LPB, but I know that NH is VERY ping sensitive,
especially as the predator.

The escape teleporter was originally put in to allow HPB's a way to dodge persistent LPB's.

: Also i like the idea of the pred being able to overload the rocket launcher to make it like a real launcher. But i think that the marines should be able to do it to!

Yah, this would be pretty simple to do. Can be used by LPB's too, but life is tough.

: It would also be cool if you could make like lazer trip bombs (for the pred). Or a alarm type thing.

I think the predator is pretty much done for now. Since you're being hunted all the time,
I don't want to add so much stuff that you get killed while looking for that key on the keyboard.
There may be a few new features added, but not much.

: You also should be able to use the %rl thing. Like I am fighting the pred at the rocket launcher. Just so the other marines know where to go.

Yah, I think this would be usefull. The only problem is, there is no real benefit to cooperation in the
current incarnation of NH. I mean, if you call other marines in, they might frag your ass, or worse, take
the predator kill away from you.

: I think that there are too many annoying newbies in this game and that there should be some kind of thing that they have to do befor they get into the game or something. Make like a weapons factory thing make them type like nhelp at the counsle if they are having problems. Or other words just kick them off the server till they read it!

Everyones a newbie at some time, but I hear you. We're luckier than most in that anyone who pops into the NH server
KNOWS something is different pretty much right away. :^}

: Oh well thanks for listening to me yammering on like this bye!

We always need input.

I'll be putting up some ideas for possible future Night Hunter projects.
Look for them.
