The Birds!

o_espionagedb7 · 02-06-2005, 12:49 PM

I dont know if the FF team has discussed this at all, but it would be cool to see like random birds flying about at times. You know like in HL2, I dont mean a swarm of bird or whatever but ever so often for asthetic purposes have a bird land on a bridge or battlement or whatnot or just fly around hehe

Birds would not fly around in the middle of a warzone.

And please use the Ideas & Suggestions forums to SUGGEST IDEAS?

Perhaps he's suggesting it more as something mappers could include, like in widow.

o_deadeh · 02-06-2005, 11:57 PM

definatly give concers one more thing to think about

I was looking at EspionageDB7's signature, and thinking "hmm, must be rape humour again, Americans really enjoy that." Then I looked at his location... sure enough: he's from the US.

lol Imagine a sniper only map full of birds. For every bird you killed, you get a point. hah...Actually I want someone to do that....

o_ghroth · 02-07-2005, 05:25 AM

omg birds in a conc map would be a great idea specialy since you can shoot them

o_jerm · 02-07-2005, 06:44 AM

imagine colliding with or airshotting a bird

!

damn that would be fun

o_deadeh · 02-07-2005, 04:39 PM

would be interesting tho if there were a map where u could conc above the clouds (mist) and there were birds flying about...... serves no actual purpose but would be a bit artistic....

I'm not suggesting the FF team should do this as its mainly pointless...infact completely... but it would look pretty... sort of like when, in the 3rd matrix, they fly the big ship over the clouds for a few seconds and see the sun for the first time..

sorry, im locked away at uni doing a 7000 word essay... apologies for the madness

o_azlan · 02-07-2005, 07:50 PM

I'm planning on adding some ravens to Badlands, which will serve as distraction for snipers hopefully.

o_derno · 02-07-2005, 10:53 PM

YEAH and then when you conc you can fly into them and they'll stop you!! haha no, yueah birds would be fun to shoot down, make it a server varible, for howmany birds show every hours or something, set it to 99999 and have fun shooting down birds

Don't lump all us americans together with that, I personaly don't find that stuff humorous.

But the idea of independant roaming animals soudns interesting. Long as they're all flying/roaming away from the explosions.

o_fallacy · 02-08-2005, 04:33 AM

Birds....? I don't know, it would ony distract me. Also I don't enjoyed being "clumped" with raping texan.

o_espionagedb7 · 02-08-2005, 07:31 AM

uh.... yeah whatever

If you are that easily "distracted" how is it you manage to play any game at all?

o_zorro · 02-11-2005, 07:20 AM

birds could be cool i guess..

o_geokill-----> · 02-11-2005, 07:47 AM

If Birds are added then they should fly really high or you could go trough them because I don't want no fricking bird stopping me from concing. Another suggetion is that when you go trough the bird or touch it, the bird just gibs and it doesn't affect any speed or fiction.
*Oh Wow I'm going to make it to the other battlements!!! Smack* AAwww Stupid bird got in my way

Just some of the ideas which aren't really possibly, unless you like lag city? It doesn't take much in HL2DM to lag the server using physics variables and the amount of models in the map. It is a nice idea, just "Gameplay > Realism" and K I S S (Keep it stupid, simple) needs to be applied otherwise it won't work.

Main reason I oppose this idea is simply for the realism and gameplay factor in one. As you wouldn't expect birds in a warzone, and nor would you want a laggy server :P
