New Mod, Next Month

Post by bl4nk » Sun Jan 08, 2006 7:34 pm

Insects Infestation

About:
The Insects Infestation concept combines diverse combat capabilities and strategy oriented gaming. In fact, it does not only allow you to shoot anybody at anytime but it emphasizes on team play tactics.

Obviously based on the insects point of view, II will offer its players to choose among three different insect species, Ants, Termites and Wasps. Each of these will have its own set of unique weapons, powers, behaviour and abilities. To add a little interest, species will be available in two main starting classes: Soldiers or Builders. Classes will eventually evolve into six distinct classes as you play, again to give even more diversity to the game.

Games Modes:
Default Mode (RTS Style)
Each team must gather resources and kill the opponent's queen. The game will end when the opponent's queen is killed or the timer in the server is elapsed.
  • You can gather resources
  • You can contruct structures
  • Resources is used to upgrade your insect
  • Resources is used to contruct new structures
Training Mode
This mode is more a simple version of the default mode which help new player to understand how a specific insects work. The objective is similar to the default mode, you must kill the opponent's queen but you cannot gather resources.
  • You cannot gather resources
  • You cannot contruct structures
  • Experience points is used to upgrade your insect
Firefly Mode (DOD Style)
This mode look's like DOD (Day Of Defeat) gameplay. The objective is to take control of all Fireflies in the map. When a firefly is captured the firefly glow with the team color (ANTS, TERMITES, WASPS). To win the team must capture all Fireflies in the map.
  • You cannot gather resources
  • You cannot contruct structures
  • Experience points is used to upgrade your insect
Egg Mode (TFC Style)
This mode is similar to TFC (Team Fortress Classic) gameplay. The objective is to capture all enemy eggs.
  • You cannot gather resources
  • You can contruct structures
  • Experience points is used to upgrade your insect
  • Experience points is used to contruct new structures
Assault Mode (DOD/TFC/UT Style)
This mode is mainly inspired by the DOD/TFC/UT Assault mode. The attacking team must complete several secondary objectives (in a specific order or not) to reach the primary objective and complete it. The defending team must prevent the attacking team from completing the objectives.
  • You cannot gather resources
  • You cannot contruct structures
  • Experience points is used to upgrade your insect
Species:
Ants
Ants are the most well balanced specie of the mod. They can attack very effectively with theyr jaws but at the same they can punch out a great long range projectile made of a very corrosive acid like liquide. Perhaps this will be the most prefered race for beginners. Termites
The brute of all species, the Termites are mainly focused around bull-rushing and brute force. They have very thick armor and also carry some extremely powerfull jaws. They make some formidable close range opponents. But thick armor means slower movements speed. Wasps
Wasps, as anyone would suggest, will be able to fly. They will have the air superiority over the other insects species but at the same time will be alot weaker on the armor side. Less armor means more speed, thus making them very hard to hit. They will rely greatly on their ability to sting wich is very powerfull against the enemy but at the same time very dangerous for you as you have to get in close and personal with the enemy. But trust me, even with its low armor, a well trained Wasps player will be a very tough opponent in a battle.

And it's all strategy based. You don't do any shooting at all.

That's a direct quote from the website. I didn't write that, I just quoted it.

Or that YOU aren't the one doing the shooting, you just control who does. I haven't really read enough into it to say right now, I'll do so more when I get home from school.
