...I don't get it, maybe I really am speaking the wrong English. I didn't say turn flying off, rip it out or whatever. Suggesting a server switch to turn off flying without any adjustments for it would be just stupid, and I wouldn't know why anyone would think I meant just that if I hadn't seen other people post ideas just as dumb if not dumber.
I just suggested make a cvar for no flying. A variable. An option. Like plcatchup, true teams, etc. Not required, just... an option.
BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!
For such an option to be worth it by any means, you would have to add compatibility for ground fighting. I thought this was obvious, yet people didn't pick up what I was laying down. Regardless, melee would not be tough; just add a ground swoop and the rest is already there. With a little tweaking you could make ground swooping like dashing in megaman X -- I know many people would love that.
Blasts, as they stand, detonate if you fire them on the ground. Maybe because models were shrunk (Remember?). Maybe their collision radius is too big, allowing people to hit others and PS easier, but crippling blasting anywhere near land. Maybe it should be lowered for land could be changed while the ability to hit people stays the same -- I don't think people want to have to aim harder to hit people a mile away. But I don't know if that can be done.
People who get it like it, saying it'd add a new dimension to the game.
People who don't get it get angry, thinking I'm saying flying should be ripped out and people should just stand there charging big bang attacks that detonate in their faces all day, and walking up to each other to melee. ...Please, people.
Ground swooping and blast support being potentially neat features are only half the reason I vouch for them. The other half is because I feel stupid NOT being able to do them.
Yes, I can swoop over the ground if I start flying already, but if it could be done without flying, And blasts weren't... crazy, then you could play a game without flying at all.
...Bottom line is, fighting via flying and fighting without it both have perks, and I just can't think of a reason why anyone would wanna miss out on half of that.
