I was playing on mountain pass today and noticed trees, then I noticed the axe in my hand and then I came up with a great idea.

Imagine, the ability to chop down a tree! Yes! Chop a tree and crush those pesky fleshpounds. Caught in a pickle? Easy, just fell some trees and everything will be all right!

This includes any trees, from the tallest pines of mountain pass, to the festive Christmas trees of evil-Santa's lair, and for the one in bedlam, well that might be enough to kill Mr. Patty!

have you ever actually chopped down a tree before? do you even know how time consuming it is?

There's always a chainsaw :D

But no, seriously, this is a joke about crushing FP's with lumber, right?

You act like this is even possible with the way KF maps are made.
Not to mention that it would be quite possible the only way mountainpass could get any easier. Also, I can see people doing this CONSTANTLY. I mean, I thought people welding everything was bad, but this would be ridiculous.
Oh, and fire axes don't cut down trees. They cut fires. Or something.

I remember another user on this board has a signature with the quote "A fireman he has deletes fires" or something like that. That's the first thing I thought of when I say your guys' quotes, haha.

Besides the already stated points of trees being a pain to cut down with just an axe and technical limitation, this would just not work out. Unless you want a comically fast chopping time you will not likely be able to cut on down to hit an enemy(the patriarch would have an easier time using his mini-gun, or rocket), and they would be useless to block off areas with(besides the simple point of not having enough tress in the right places, you can just jump over them).

Fun idea, but the games is better off with out this.

Ok first of all fire axes are used for chopping down doors, walls, or any obstacle on fire that a fireman needs to get through, And even if this idea did work do know how many dicks there would be who would just chop down every tree on the map and make it really annoying to maneuver through?

Possible to do, but could open doors to exploits/greifing(Trees could kill players) and would feel pretty tacky/gamey. Also I think the fleshpound would break the tree imo.

How about a mod where we have to fight zeds with weapons of the cavemen? Rocks, sharpened sticks and bones for the trash zeds. Pitfalls, giant boulders and cut-down trees for scrakes and fleshpounds.

And when you see a stalker, you have to grab her by the hair and drag her to the love cave :D
