(Dont move this to Ideas & Suggestions,its a request)
First of all,no,this is not a crawler only mutator,everyone can do that with the "OnlyThisSpecimen" mut.
The idea here is take some of the crawler specimens from the WTF mut,thats no longer beign updated and we can modify it in various ways.Now imagine a Broodmother+Leaper/Shade+Broodling+Normal Crawlers mutator.
Thats what i want.
Broodmothers keep hatchin Broodlings which makes gameplay really intense.Keeping the old crawlers is a good idea if the mutator will have the leaper/shade too,it will make it harder to see the difference between a reg crawler and a shade(crawlers that jump really high,called leapers in the WTF mut).
Teamwork is a must for this mutator.
I made a quick video of some Broodmother only gameplay using the WTFmut and the OnlyThisSpecimen mut.I have the Kill Messages enabled for the sake of showing the giant kill streaks you can make.I killed 20 Broodmothers(not Broodlings) with a grenade at once.
A proper boss at the end of each game would be really cool,so heres my idea:
A giant Broodmother(well not exactly giant but big enough to be called a boss monster) that spawns broodmothers which spawn broodlings.It attacks once and retreats to heal and hatch more broodmothers.This will make the gameplay even more freaky as you have to hold out against hundreds of spiders,while trying to chase the boss down.Didnt really think of a name,but something like the Materiarch(overused,i know) or the Broodqueen(my favourite) will do the job.
Another addition are the "Lava crawlers"
Remember the red crawlers from the Obsidian Mission(credits to Fel and S281 for that awesome mission map)?
Well,imagine these crawlers,and the only difference between a normal one and a lava one will be that the lava ones...
wait for it...
Will be immune to fire.
While you laugh hysterically at this idea i think its pretty good.A firebug can kill tons of other crawler kinds,but this one must be killed by a teammate or by the Firebug himself,but with the Mac10 or another weapon.The Mac will do damage to lava crawlers but wont incinerate them.Also the flamethrower wont do nothing to these crawlers.That would be really hard to code,so this idea might not be realised.
Now lets talk about the functionality of the different classes:
Commando:Can see the HP of the crawlers and is really usefull,since automatic weapons spraying will kill lots of crawlers that try to get near your team.
Medic:Well,he is a medic...
Sharpshooter:He can kill crawlers easily by aiming down to them,wich makes him really usefull.He can also kill Shades/Leapers in midair.
Firebug:Can kill tons of crawlers,with the exeption of Lava ones(think of this like a nerf,).We still need the permission of Fel and S821 for using their crawlers,so this might not be added.
Demo
ipes and nades can kill broodmothers and broodlings easily,but i cant think of a nerf on this perk.Maybe the boss monster will be given resistance to explosions?
Support:Apart from welding skills,hes good at dealing a lot of damage with shotties near his enemy,so hes usefull for the bossfight.Kinda hard for him to kill small broodlings with a shotgun,tho.When using the AA12 you should use your Semi-automatic mode more often and take your time to aim.
Berserker:Usefull to kill single crawlers(the crawler is tricky to kill when youre a zerker,so that would make it really hard,and if the crawlers travel in packs as usual,youre ****ed),and handle Shades/Leapers when they land.
Now lets take a look at gameplay:
Open maps like Mountainpass will make this mutator really easy to finish.
Maps like Bioticslab,on the other hand,will offer intense gameplay.
If you use mutators like Jack and Ivan's MK3 weapons pack or the new Hunting Rifle its easier to solo this mut in an open map(as a sharpshooter),yet still hard to handle most situations when indoors.
Not long ago there was a thread about a mut that gives the bloats the abillity to "puke" crawlers and work like a broodmother,which is another thing that inspired me to request a mutator like this.Im not a big fan of crawlers,but the idea itself was good.It will be nice to have lots of crawler variations in this future mut.
And while people(including me)are waiting for the Brute fix,the Shiver and the Maul(and possibly another Doom3 Update:IS2 this is an idea than needs to be considered.
Here's a quick video i made,im getting wiped out on begginer!
