Now the only sniper games are locks, made by elitist pricks who would boot any downloaders. anyway, v-tec was fun while it lasted. marine would own if you can find the few blind spots, or bothered to lure with vis. ling was good too. i dont remember using goon much. | ||

Used to play v-tech on europe. Even joined v-tech clan. Think I got the old maps on a disc somewhere.

Example: making upgrade areas inside own base so camping is not possible. When I played, ling and marine had about a 50-50 chance taking eachother out, depending on how they met. Ling would cling to walls and chokes, while rine would try to spot at distance. Many players chose ling as it always took out goon and goon always took out 1 rine. I remember hydra was also an option from start, but non ever picked it. anyways, GL with your project. I would play if not for my router firewall | ||

The other rules are for balance issues. As it stands right now, the game is perfectly balanced as long as you abide by them. | ||

the muta is a crucial counter to tanks/archons, both of which are staple units later on. Reducing its damage will make it unprofitable to ever get a mutalisk. Mutas have a counter, it just comes with the 10 kill upgrade. you cant kill your own team anymore. triggers now prevent you from attacking your own teammate. | ||

Mutas have a counter, it just comes with the 10 kill upgrade. you cant kill your own team anymore. triggers now prevent you from attacking your own teammate. maybe you can get a different flag carrier depending on how many points you have and if you're raping your opponent 15 kills to less than 10 maybe they should just lose anyhow -.-, either that or find some way to balance it with a different unit upgrades were always just gay IMO anyhow, you're trying to give them an advantage for more points yet at the same time let it be counterable for less points?? bigger form of rock paper scissors? snipers ftw! no upgrades! equal units! edit: sorry, as a snipers player v-tec always bothered me =X | ||

Upgrades stay constant after 15 kills. If you are playing 2v2, the end is at 50 kills, so that leaves 20-30 kills (depends on partners score). Thats close/over half the game with the same units. If you are playing a 3v3, its even longer! So all they are, basically, is just a way for getting yourself into position lategame, where the majority of fighting happens. While I enjoy snipers, I never saw how snipers could compete with v-tec. What it has strategy-wise for the ghosts, V-tec also has ... except with 20x's the amount of units. ^^ Ultimately, I think this is what turned away most people. Casual gamers did not want to learn 20+ unit combos/timings/positionings in order to be competative with those who had. | ||

if the muta is so horrifically imba then nerf it? and if the other team has worked hard to achieve muta level then they deserve it dont they? i duno just came across as a pretty strange thing, i mean isnt the point of the game to win? | ||

Those rules are meant for a cleaner/manner game. otherwise it turns into upgrade camp fest which results in someone leaving before they get 5 kills. Once again, instead of theorycrafting it, I ask you to just play so you can see how it works out yourself ^^ | ||
