    So here's a simple suggestion. Whenever someone gets an EMP, the ENDERMAN_stare sound effect is played at 2x pitch. Whenever someone gets a nuke, anvils fall out of the sky that explode on impact. Just some effects to spruce up gameplay.

    May be a bit too hard to code for minimal benefits. But you never know, it may get added!

    Actually, the coding is quite easy. Even I could code this stuff :V

    Anvils have nothing related to CoD, that could lead to some exploits.
    Enderman noise would not improve the EMP, it would just make a lot more players pissed off with volume.

    The endermen are already creepy when you're looking at them, but oh god if you make them scream while your launching an emp it's gonna scare me so much :B

    That would make the game uncomfortable for pros. I get EMP-d like every 4 games, but then I kill the dude and he rages his ass off.

    How many anvils?
    The server will be getting much lag with too many falling anvils.

    The amvils are the closest things I could find to a missile, and the enderman noise is a lot less disturbing at 2x speed.
    Good point. Perhaps just 1 anvil that falls in the center of the map?

    In my opinion, the enderman scream sounds like an airplane flying over, so that could be used for the air strike perk. Unless I'm thinking of the wrong sound.
    Anvils would just piss me off, since they cause lag and since their sound is extremely annoying. If it is just one anvil, then fine. We could probably use that nuke design and the mechanics of falling sand instead, though. (nuke design is a hopper and a cauldron or something)

    The reason I used the Enderman stare for EMP is because it sounds like static at 2x speed.

    And the anvil doesn't make noise, it's just a falling sand entity that gets deleted just before it hits the ground.

    The enderman sound for the emp sounds like a cool suggestion. I don't think anvils falling from the sky would be all that great. Maybe just a single anvil retextured could fall from the sky at the center of the map to act as the nuke?

    Too many anvils would cause lag. Maybe just one?

    Methinks, just have one anvil fall from the sky over the point where the nuker is standng.

    Nah, one nuke would be better for the following reasons:

    -Less lag
    -When a real nuke is detonated, its explosions kill anyone in it's vicinity. In this case, everyone dies as soon as the retextured anvil drops in the center of the map.

    So, the anvils are supposed to simulate bombs dropping from the sky? But isn't a nuke a single bomb? Not a barrage? I like the enderman noise idea though. Since the nuke gets it's own noise it makes sense that the emp should too.

    If someone is fast enough of there is a block on top of them or in a building they can possibly dodge the nuke.

    Nonono, the anvil isn't the nuke, it's a visual representation of the nuke, which doesn't actually exist as an object.

    Oh, I understand now. Well then that would sorta change my way of how I think about this. But I still think the enderman for emp is still creepy.
