An idea for a new weapon flag.... I'm thinking it could have the same range as the theif flag (You know the little bar that shoots out...) Might require a new graphic file for the fire, unless they retro-fit the fire from when a tank blows up. A regional weapon, shoots only forward. It could be &quo...

oh snap.

I'm such a tard, I missed the location right in front of my face.

'scuse me

This has probably been asked a bunch of times, but I ain't seeing it anywhere. This relates to players, so here goes - What part of the world do YOU hail from?

Me? Savannah, Georgia (USA)

I thought at first it might've been a bug - but on secret place and a couple of other servers - there are a couple of teleports that drop you out in the sky. At first I thought the game had froze up on me, but I think these 'port drop you off as high up as the server interprets hight... Long, slow f...

Alright - this might come off as corny - but this is one I've been wanting to talk about for a minute now. Ever take a deep fall from a high place, or what have you, and your stomach rolled from the "movement" ? I would says it much like watching a roller coaster cam... Am I the only one t...

I keep seeing on viper's Two Castles server how you gotta be registered to do this and to do that...

Anyone know the web site where one would do such registering?

I was playing a game the other night, and went to "pass" the flag to the center, cause I was seconds away from annihilation. (Y'all know how that goes ;) ) So I told my team "pass coming" but I accidentally left off the P is pass. I was typing quickly, playing - all that. So the ...

Well, real tanks don't jump, either, but you don't hear me...



I was thinking just hitting a button to switch to "rear" view mode. It's all good though, being as I am just FULL of...

...ideas!

Fairly self explanatory - a flag - allows you to jump a little higher than normally, much similiar to the High Speed Flag, which lets you travel at a higher speed than normal...

Surprised this one isn't already implemented...

Yet another idea How about different arena's for BZ Flag? Instead of sky and mountains off in the distant - how about the walls of a child's room? (Like we're toy tanks) and you see stuff like a light switch, posters, other toys propped against the wall, dresser drawers, ceiling fans - or even make ...

Got this idea from Super Mario Bros. (cause of the ice worlds) How about different terrains? Each terrain makes your tank handle just a bit differently. Thick brush - makes tank slow down Ice - like having the momentum flag Mud - maybe a toned down Ice (as far as effect goes) Oil slick Moving platfo...

Another idea - A duck fuction! While I can see problems already, tune it to something like - assign it a key, and when you hit the key, your tank "ducks" for half a second, and half a second ONLY. While ducking, your tank does not move, nor can you shoot (or make it where you gotta time it...

Even Star Raiders had a mode to look at whats going on behind you! Maybe hit a button on the keyboard for rear view mirror mode (similar to binoculors) A nice enhancement would be a slightly "distorted" view, and at the bottom of the screen "Objects in rear view mirror may appear clos...

I'm coming in on the rear end of this topic

1) What rr said

2) Are people going to have to register to play BZ Flag now?

Aaaauuuuggghhh!!! Noooo! You were supposed to say something along the lines of "yeah, check out this rpm..." Seriously, everytime I go to install the latest DRI driver, it never installs right, and I lose my graphics system. Also, there is no one download of "DRI" - it means upda...

Been using Linux for a couple of months now, loving it more and more everyday. Too bad support for certain hardware is to be desired... (I have multiple computers, cause I have no issues on another computer... Just didn't want anyone to see me talking about playing on one thread and me needing help ...
