Game: Ricochet (HL)
Added Wed Feb 4th 2004

Map Description

This map has a discussion topic which can be visited here

My first map for ricochet when I was fiddling around with it. Very small. Designed for LAN play mainly. I doubt its any good but see what you think.

Don't know...

All ricochet jumps work by aiming at an info_target, so you could try placing the info_target directly above the jump...

Wouldn't it be possible to make reflectors that would make the disks move verticaly? that way you would have to bounce your shots of walls and stuff to hit people...

An interesting point I noticed which I noticed while fiddling with this map is that discs don't ALWAYS go horizontally. The jumps are brush triggers, and if the disc goes through a jump trigger it is diverted upwards. This could be interesting for some maps, but I'm no good with entities to do anything like that yet!

I don't understand Ricochet properly, but my apprehension is that there is almost no scope for variety in the maps. This is mainly because there is no vertical aiming. So corridors/rooms could be terrible......

Yeah, I realise now I really should not have done a standard "pads" map and should have done something with, say, corridors or cliffs. I'll try again this coming weekend! [addsig]

Bah, Ricochet sucks...

Speaking of ricochet, I used to play a game called Ricochet on my ancient computer, but that was years ago. I dare say that that game is better than this hl-mod

And speaking of Lan, spend the entire weekend on a Lan. The awesome thing was that we didnt play Cs! Yeah, I dont like that game either. Instead, me and my brother tought the others how to play Gloom, and they all loved it! Later we played Halo, and we also made up our OWN Halo game type: Warthog derby!! The 1 and only rule: No shooting. So everyone ran to the closest Warthog (a jeep) and ram into each other in top speed. Cars flied, bodies flied, and we all laughed out loud
