The [FGS] Clan

I'm thinking DXMP needs something between ATDM and 0A. Now I'm not offering to host this but if anyone has a spare server or is thinking of starting one I think this would be great.

2 Aug

-Allow the player to have two augs.
-Keep it simple like 0A by starting with max skills and no aug rewards for kills.
-Allow all weapons

2A is simpler than ATDM but more interesting than 0A. By only allowing 2 augs It would allow different play styles that can't be done effectively in ATDM. Will you be a tank and choose ballistic protection and energy sheild? A ninja with cloak? A slasher with speed and combat strength? A sniper with targeting and vision? Or maybe you prefer to be a fish with aqualung and power recirc.

What do you guys think?

I'd give it a shot, sure

Nice idea, I would try it.

Well the problem with this is, the only augs that get used would be:

Speed Cloak
Speed Bally
Speed Vis
Speed Ads

So all I would have to do then is run around with:

Gep/Plasma Assault Rifle and Sniper

If you had ads, I'd use rifles. If you had Bally, I'd use heavies. And imo, it would be quite repetative in that sense.

I'm not sure, If I recall SG and AG server, it promotes co-op play, cos one guy is the crate guy, one guy gets vision, one guy gets ads and the bally guys stay close etc... I remember some of the all time best DXMP games were with 5 FGS ppl in one server, working as a team, with I think 2 augs only, maybe 1 extra, can't remember...


When I look back to 2005 onwards, it's never been ATDM, BTDM or any default aug game that dominated. It was always SG, AG or some other custom aug type that was the busiest and the max augs in those games was 4 and SG was often 1 or 2 on start and no more than 3? augs.

The reason I like it is that it promotes team play. One guy gets ads, one guy gets vision, etc...

I dont' know what everyone's problem is with skills. I would give people enough skills to max out with one wep and then choose, either med, lockpick or tool etc. You have to do this "menu choice" in Counter-Strike when you spawn too.

make a no aug with 2000 skill points starts !

THC tested it, and it was boring.

vision aug only and lightless maps and no augs?

max skills is cool, but just saying...

I think definitely 0-aug can be very boring, just rifling on flat surfaces often. Depends who you're playing.
I wanted to have muscle aug and run silent on 0-aug and a few augs like vision or spydrone on 0-augs, would bridge the gap and make it more interesting...

I just had the crazy idea of a Russian Roulette kind of award system... With each kill you would still just have 1 aug, but it changes randomly... So you'd have to make the best of a potentially bad aug award.

Don't forget

Speed Combat
Speed Regen

Yeah, I think most people would have speed as one of their augs. But I think there will be a lot of variety in the second aug. And there is always the idea of 1 Aug, which would stop most people from using speed.

Nah I think a defensive aug would be used by the majority. Your idea with 3 augs would be good however
