Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: ChromeAngel on March 18, 2007, 09:32:38 AM What would Black Mesa chapter marines look like?
How about Lambda Labs marines? or the Combine Chapter ? If you have an idea, show me http://uk.games-workshop.com/spacemarines/flash%2Dpainter/1/ Could these be a better solution to the teams chapter selection problem? Have I completely lost my marbles? :shock: Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: Typheron on March 18, 2007, 11:39:10 AM chrome are you drunk?
Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: Darknar on March 18, 2007, 12:49:28 PM he may be drunk. but the ideas are friggen awsome.
Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: zenarion on March 18, 2007, 12:59:27 PM I thought we were done with this...?
Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: Alhaus on March 18, 2007, 04:55:41 PM Oh dear...
Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: Typheron on March 19, 2007, 12:11:01 AM i dunno if this is a good idea, doing a HL2 style chapter is breaking the 4th wall a bit and opens us up to the "what chapter" debate again.
new chapter leads to demand for new classes, new classes leads to more work, more work leads to suffering. That is the path to the dark side! Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: Alhaus on March 19, 2007, 12:12:48 AM The darkside is better though. I think we should just stick with the smufs
Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: zenarion on March 19, 2007, 07:55:38 AM I agree. If this was to happen, it shud have happened long ago.
Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: ChromeAngel on March 19, 2007, 08:20:11 AM Awee OK guys :(
i'll save the idea for a chapter pack after V1... Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: Bahl on March 19, 2007, 11:06:48 AM heh, you should have asked that question in the last news, that you supply before doing a newsletter and post on phl! ;-). THAT way youd really get influx AND at least half a dozen interesting chapter ideas :-).
Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: Typheron on March 19, 2007, 01:17:20 PM not to mention a ton of spam from all the fanboys of X chapter wanting there chapter and the special units that go with it in game plus all chapter markings.
Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: Bahl on March 20, 2007, 08:07:09 AM of course, that too ^^.

Welcome to the H.E.V. Mark MMCCCXIX Protective System. For use in Hazardous Environment conditions... Yup, that Tyranid bio-plasma is mighty hazardous alright. Wouldn't want that on your hands while you're trying to get the Gene-seed from a mutilated corpse. (http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d175/RoguePsyker/combinemarine.jpg) (http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d175/RoguePsyker/combineelitemarine.jpg) Also whacked up Marine versions of the Combine Soldier and Elite. Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: Typheron on March 23, 2007, 12:01:56 PM the blue one aint bad, but still theres mroe important things to do.
Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: Khargoth on March 26, 2007, 01:14:17 PM A 'bonus' game type might be Combine VS Marines, complete with universe-specific weapons. Overwatch Pulse Rifles VS Bolters... pretty even patch.
Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: Typheron on March 26, 2007, 01:36:00 PM it kinda brakes the 4th wall there, that and the combie would get pwnd soooo hard there made in a lab children would be feeling it.
bolters are nasty. Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: Brother-Captain Severus, Deserted Legion 3rd Company Master on March 26, 2007, 04:29:54 PM Hmm... a Combine AR2 Pulse Rifle vs. an Astartes Mk. Vb Bolter... Long story short, bolter will blow even a concrete-reinforced, adamantium-lined wall to bits, needless of explanation.
Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: Khargoth on March 28, 2007, 12:35:24 PM Well, the Dark Matter secondary fire mode for the AR2 is pretty nasty, considering it destroys any organic material it comes into close proximity with...
Before this becomes a 'who would win' topic, the Combine would have numbers, speed and RoF on to bolster their odds. The AR2 is a lot more powerful than conventional projectile weapons, and several of them unloading into a Space Marine could probably bring him down. In game terms a Combine player would have a LOT more lives, and killing a Space Marine would bag a player a phat loot of points, wheras a SM will have to chop through half a battalion to net a decent score. Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: Typheron on March 28, 2007, 02:26:13 PM i should point out that a Space Marine in full armour cannot be considered organic on the outside.
I recon the thing would just bounce off. Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: Wolf on March 28, 2007, 06:09:37 PM *laughs at the Space marine Sergeant that insisted on taking his helmet of as the secondary fire phases him out of existance*
Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: migb on March 28, 2007, 06:33:07 PM What about Combines vs. Tyranids instead?
Or a small server-command that swap Imperial Guards for Combines? And gaunts for antlions? Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: Wolf on March 28, 2007, 06:59:53 PM so the players have the choice to play as an antlion ... or a combine...
Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: Razielk on March 28, 2007, 11:52:06 PM If Gordon Freeman can kill all those combine nearly single handedly, I think a space marine has fairly good odds :wink:
Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: migb on March 28, 2007, 11:59:07 PM Quote from: "Razielk" If Gordon Freeman can kill all those combine nearly single handedly, I think a space marine has fairly good odds :wink: Impossible! No space marine has ever had his hands upon the Divine Crowbar of Retribution. To utter such words are to invite the wrath of the G-men... Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: Darknar on March 29, 2007, 11:11:24 PM anybody tryd just using the crobar on hard mode in HL2. i would not say thats divine retribution
Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: Alhaus on March 30, 2007, 06:34:01 PM I would. Its S8 and ignores armour saves :P
Title: Random Mad Idea Post by: Khargoth on April 03, 2007, 05:08:56 PM Now THAT would make a great easter egg weapon for EX. I'd like to see the Company Champion eventually added for the Marines, just for something that can go toe-to-toe with the 'nids.
Then, just for hyuks, we give him an unlockable Wargear item, the Crowbar of Retribution. As far as playing HL2 on Hard with only the Crowbar; I agree. Not really Divine Retribution, because that just gets you shot. Ninja Retribution, on the other hand... |
