Title: Impressions on The v4.2 final character select screen
Post by: Rick Astley on March 01, 2012, 11:57:10 am
well this morning having gone on facebook i saw the image of the final version of the charater select screen here it is incase people didnt see it:
 
(http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/424125_355494044484199_245668738800064_1131818_573563243_n.jpg)
 
and i thought it looked good- i loved the pose of bond from Die Another Day, Treveylan looked good, Boris looked fine, Female Scientist looked good with the moonraker laser (best choice of weapon for the image), Jaws looked like he was blushing, Mayday looks like Samuel L Jackson in Pulp Fiction without the frizzy hair or sideburns, Mishkin looks like Mishkin, OddJob which i guess has slightly improved from the last image, General looks good (i am glad you can choose from the original and the old version- atleast for now), Baron Samedi looks alright- i pefer the original image as his hat looks uneven to his head and Valentin looks good with the 9mm
 
at first i felt disapointed that they didnt use the images from the wiki but i have to saw that it looks mighty well done- superior from the previous charater selection screen. im not too sure about the charater bio as it looks like the bio for the general is cut off but i suppose since its an image and may change during online play so nevermind
 
Great Job People :D

The first thing I thought when I saw that character selection screen was Mayday holding that magnum will fit my new mode perfectly.  The weapon Ourumov is holding looks like a PP7.  But I know they redid the DD44 so I hope it's the newer version.

Samuel L. Jackson? We disagree greatly on that one at least

I personally think that the character description needed to put into a box. Everything else has a box around it and this text is just floating there (well, it is defined within the borders). I think that if say a white box was put there, I think the whole screen would look more complete.

If this is the final version (and the question mark really is for a random character), I guess that means no new characters for 4.2. I was hoping at least one more would sneak in.

It does look good, though.

We have plans to have multiple 'pages' of characters when we have more characters available. The redesign was really to help adding new characters become a more modular process, and also make character selection quicker and more accessible. (Personally I found the old scrolling selection to be sluggish).

At the moment it just happens that we can fit our number of characters nicely on a 3x4 grid.

The question mark really is for "Random" character selection.
We'll be more interesting when/if new characters are revealed

I also like Emilia's suggestion. Perhaps format it on MI6 stationary/like a an MI6 report.

I loved the rcp90. On the train level I would run all the way through the mission constantly shooting and never letting go of the trigger. By the time i got to ouromouv i had to reload lol.

I think we should change the spelling of Laser to Lazer. It sounds better. Laser sounds like (Lay- cer)

Here is a visual metaphor for what adding the Watch Laser OR Tazerboy would do to gameplay.

I don´t think so. if you want to add a watch laser, you just have to reduce the power of the laser, thats it. a moonraker laser´s little brother. could be  a second slapper, but just better looking. and the tazer boy could be a perfect mine detector. in order to break one´s way trough a sea of remote and proximity mines, turn on the tazer boy. it could have a special range that let all the mines explode. so you´re running around the map, the tazer boy is beeping and you can´t do anything else than detecting mines. its risky, its unhealthy, its great fun

I say you could add it, But not in normal weapon sets to prevent that kind of accident with washing machines. You could make a weapon set with laser weapons only, Including the taserboy, Or taserboys only and watch lasers only.

Include it in the mod, just exclude it from the official weaponsets and make it something server owners have to setup.

i agree aswell...tone down the power and range of the watch laser perhaps giving the same damage as The Klobb but for when you are out of ammo and dont want to use the fists than its the perfect subsitute

the taserboy can be used as an item during a game mode like it could be used to detect mines or even use it to wirelessly hack other objects- sure its a taser but it could be a Q Device aswell...a bit like the phone from Tommorow Never Dies- being a remote control for a car and a taser to Kill Dr. Kaufman

Yeah, but that's straying away from the GoldenEye feel.  I would rather have the weapon included, but only available under special circumstances like it was originally.
