I don't think it'd look very good IMO. You wouldn't want to put something in a mod that looks completely out of character compared to everything else as well. Plus, we've only seen part of the BSP. The entire other section may make this idea complete foobar.
He explained the flaw with that too. If players have particles turned off, which many may need to to play the mod, then the cloud of dust wont appear and the elite will look like a jackass appearing out of nothing.Originally Posted by Needles
That's not really a flaw that's a side effect of not having particles on.
That's like saying the frag grenade is flawed because you can't see it explode because your computer sucks.
I remember when I used to turn particles off. It was ridiculously hilarious. I would die from a frag explosion that I thought was nothing.lol. Of course, my computer was infected with Trojans back then...
What about the elite is always in the pod as he falls, somehow. Then when he hits the ground, the exit animation is the hatch opening and the elite jumping out.
How about a command list and the elites are in pod vehicles? I'm sure that would take some serious tag working, but it was just a thought. The door flying open would be part of the model and animation, sort of like the clip is ejected from the gun maybe?
How about you never see the pods drop, you just see a battlefield with pods scattered on it, and the Elites jump out at random times.
Hey, Elites need to sleep too, but they gotta pay.
You guys can just..... stop talking about it? We've had working droppods in the past, and we cut them for a specific reason which doesn't apply anymore.
I was about to say
Thats a bold statement...
