not on a server with radar, but if there's no radar, the smart ones will grab mq and "infiltrate your ranks and backstab you".Workaphobia wrote:Well normally a MQ player isn't thinking about infiltrating your ranks and backstabbing you
that would be weird!. it would be hard to figure out whos on whos team. lolI like it how it is currently. Though sometimes I wish MQ was a little more powerful. I was just thinking how cool it would be to make a no-radar map with Masquerade flags.
I'm not sure about this. The difference between geno and GM and Laser is that with GM and laser you are more powerful. With Geno you have the same bullets, just that you get more points for a kill. Best defense against a geno is just killing them normallyscishop wrote:Problem: Laser is beaten by Cloaking and Guided Missile is beaten by stealth. But there is no paper for Genocide's rock, possibly the most powerful flag of them all.
Solution: When a tank with the genocide flag kills a tank with the masquerade flag it is the genocide's tank's team that gets killed along with the masqueraded tank. To sweeten the deal for the masquerade tank s/he could get the points for the genocided team.
Logic: Genocide kills tanks all of one color; so if you shoot a "red" tank all red tanks should die even if that "red" tank was actually a green tank in disguise. This would slightly weaken the overpowered genocide flag and slightly strengthen the underpowered masquerade flag.
What do y'all think?
Not necessarily, especially in a two-team game. If someone's got geno and you're trying to shoot him, all the person has to do is spray a few bullets at a clump of your teammates, and you're toast.cookiecutter wrote:I'm not sure about this.

Of course. But some servers don't, and someone with geno can still pick off a weak player easily, even when there is a shot limit. I was only responding to cookiecutter- Geno is more powerful because not only do you have to dodge, but you have to rely on your entire team to do the same. It rarely works that way.Workaphobia wrote:Which is why it's best to limit geno to just a couple of shots that need to be fired tactically.

thats funny, but i wouldn't feel bad about shooting at it because i know that its just a tank hiding from meNot true, the colour of the persons bullet is not altered by MQ. This I know because it has given me away about 6 times out of ten!Soraya wrote:well, i think that would make mq invincible, unless you identified the person. because the only other way to tell a mq tank (besides ident.ing) is w/ the radar.dartman wrote:I think that MQ should be used more on no-radar servers.
