How objects should fall from the sky.

How do you feel about these types of attacks?

  1. I think these ideas will be beneficial to the Mc-war server and the players on it.

    100.0%
  2. I think these ideas will have a very negative disadvantage towards Mc-war.

    So in the huge update, most of us already know that we can manually launch attacks from the sky so here are my suggestions of how to have them fall from the sky:

    Wolves: Wolves should be dropped from the sky in a box made of whatever blocks there is that can make it similar to a "Care Package" from BO2. I suggest that once the box touches the ground, it immediately explodes and vanishes into the chosen object in which are the wolves. This screenshot is an example of how I made the boxes look ( Just an example, it could be made of other blocks )

    Boxes.png

    Airstrikes: Airstrikes could be seen as either:
    1) A wide radius of TNT blocks fall directly from the sky that explode according to impact towards the ground
    2) Wither Skulls that are directed towards the enemy players that are fired from an Ender Dragon that can be seen flying over the sky ( Ender Dragon = Plane )

    Nukes: A nuke would be similar to a huge bright flash and tons of smoke that form a mushroom cloud but since the smoke on the server would most likely cause major lag to many players, there could be a way to see a nuke besides a dull explosion on every enemy player. There are very limited effects for a nuke though because fireworks, smoke, and so on can create an extreme amount of lag so I would probably say set of TNT blocks that are sized 5x5 blocks fall from the sky to the closest range of the enemy. Then it blows up and there is blindness for like 3 seconds for every player ( because it's a nuke ) and then everything goes back to normal. This object seems to be kinda hard in making another effect for since the only effect we have is the explosion on every enemy player.

    EMP: I really have no idea for EMP launched from the sky but I do have a great idea for EMP. Besides blindness for the players affected by EMP, we could also add either Slowness or Nausea condition but it's just a suggestion. I also thought about making the team invisible after the EMP is launched from one player from that team so it could benefit by hiding name tags but it won't be as effective as Blindness.

    Care Packages: Similar to Wolves, the Care Package can be dropped in the boxes I made above or in any other size and shape the staff thinks it should be.

    Now I also made an idea post that can be connected to this thread as it suggest how players can manually launch their own aerial attacks: https://www.brawl.com/threads/3724/

    If you disagree with this idea, please feel free to inform me about the flaws you see from this idea. Thank you.

    I like this idea. I think it could add more realism to Mc-War in the new update.

    I like that things could "Drop" from the sky and it would add realism, maybe a chopper sound as the killstreak lands.
    However, the moment I saw think I thought of people using the blocks to get out of maps / glitch on some new level.
    I know you said they would vanish but someone could time it right and make a jump. How would the care package work with it being a package that drops and stays on the ground until you physically retrieve your reward?

    What if you could make it so that you aren't able to jump on it? Or it could disappear after a certain amount of time.

    I see what you mean booflame. Well in BO2, players can get killed if the Care Package drops directly on them so apply the same thing to Mc-war. Everyone must look up to see where the box is falling to get out of it's way. To prevent glitching, anyone who touches it will be killed regardless of armor or Juggernaut perk. It is very simple to get out of it's way and it should also be coded so that kills from the Care Package don't count so only the enemies will get whatever is inside.

    I hear what you are saying, however some people would not get out of the way due to ignorance or lack of care. If the box kills all who touched it I would chuck it at my enemy's spawn (Or teams if you want to be like that) and rack up kills / annoy people. What if you try to get it but touch the box and die only to have someone else steals your care package? I know what you are getting at, this topic just needs in-depth explaining. :smile:

    Off-topic: Why are there two people with Rainywolvess' profile and quote thingy?

    On-topic: I think it's great, and is there any info on the update?
    Or is it all speculation/experience from the test server?

    All of these ideas seem good, adding another element of CoD. Simple, yet effective. I like it!
