Duke4 Poll

by Maarten Goldstein, Nov 27, 2000 7:36am PST

We usually try to ignore the Duke4 forum posts (hi George!), but since this message was one where George asked for input on what multiplayer type you would rather see, I thought it would be good to mention here, see what the hardcore crowd thinks. I'm pretty sure that I know which one will receive the most votes

What type of team based game do you want to see in DNF? 1) Standard CTF 2) Class based Team game (ala Team Fortress or CounterStrike).
George later mentions they are not interested in making a clone, so it's not like we will definately see Duke Nukem Fortress if most of you decide a team game. Also, if you were hoping to see some new screenshots soon (it's been like a year), don't count on it as they will probably only release some new ones close to release.

  • Heheh. They should do a game where you have to capture and keep the most babes. Instead of running around with a flag, Duke runs around with a babe over his shoulder.

    When you reach the base, there is a big harem like area where you drop them off. You have to protect that area from players on the other team or they will steal your babes. Power-ups should include Ferrari keys, Platinum AmEx, Viagra, and the "Holo-Babe" to distract the enemy.

    The losing players all turn into CliffB at the end of the round.

    If they wanted to add the class concepts, they could have the "ladies man" who is fast and lightly armored, but has a better chance of getting a babe to follow him. The "strong-silent type" who can carry TWO babes, but either has to be accompanied by the "ladies man" or have one of the power-ups to get them. The "transvestite" who can mask himself as a babe in order to infiltrate the enemy harem and who has the special "Crying Game" attack.

    With all those stripper models in the game, why not? Would be an absolute riot to play, if done right...

  • One form of multiplayer gaming that has really REALLY been neglected lately is Co-Op. I wanna be able to play through the full game with a couple of friends....I've heard the reasons why this is hard, especially with all the scripted sequences and stuff. Just pick out one player as the primary, and the others as his "sidekicks" (ugh, flash backs of Daikatana). Also, have a feature where the amount and composition of the enemies is scaled up according to how many players there are (doing this with ammo and guns would be good as well, if there are more players, scatter more ammo about).

    As for other types of multiplayer, you know, I'm really sick of all this Flag stuff. Capture this flag, hold that one. yeah, whatever.
    And symetrical maps.... ya, fun........right.

    I wanna see unique combat scenarios on each map....
    Have 2 (or more!) teams, and give each team a differing objective.

    For example, the map Town4, from QuakeWorld TeamFortress is a good example of what i am talking about. 3 teams, 2 rival crime gangs and a police team. The crime gangs have to damage each others drug labs, and the cops have to go round capturing suitcases filled with drugs for evidence.

    Or what about a thing where each team is running a brothel. Both teams start out with 5 girls in their employ... and civilian npc's come into visit them. The teams get funding for their equipment (guns, grens, etc), based on how many customers their girls "entertain". They have to protect their girls from the enemy, and also stop the enemy from scaring their customers off. Of course, they have to try and do that to the enemy... get in and grab their girls, or scare off the enemy's customers....
