| Improving The Terrorist Hunt, New Enemies, New Mission Types And More Interesting Gameplay. (With Crappy Concept Art) Posted: 30 Nov 2017 08:35 AM PST I think the Terrorist hunt would be more interesting, if it had more enemy types to mix things up. Not to mention, making enemies less brain dead on lower difficulties would also make the mode more fun, however without making all enemies aimbots. White Masks: The terrorist organization that the R6 fights in this game. Currently they don't have much that would make them special or even that memorable. They need more units and their own mark to be interesting to fight against. Example of White Mask Mark/symbol White Mask bullet proof barricades Terrorist Units and AI behavior: Regular Terrorists Units: Very common units, spawn in all difficulties and they have high numbers, but they are relatively easy to fight against. Special Terrorists Units: Harder and stronger enemies that have low spawn rates at low difficulties but higher spawn rates at higher difficulties. However there will always be less Special-T than regulars. These enemies are harder to kill, as they have better arsenal and more health than regular units. Aggressive units: will engage players if they get too close to their proximity or when players are spotted near their area. They also serve as attacking force when players are defending. Regular Units: Shotgunner: starts hunting players when Sniper or camera spots them, or when players are close enough. They start the fight by throwing flashbang and then try to shotgun players down. They are 3 armor, 1 speed units.(These units are immune to flash bangs). Light Assault: starts hunting players when Sniper or camera spots them, or when players are close enough. They are armed with MP5 with extended mag. They run to engagement range and start shooting as much as possible at player. They also carry Breach Charges. They are 1 armor, 3 speed units. Heavy Assault: starts hunting players when Sniper or camera spots them, or when players are close enough. Armed with assault rifles and frag grenades. They are 2 armor, 2 speed units. Shield: protects themselves with shield and try to close the distance. They rarely take aim and try to close in while hip firing. They are 3 armor, 1 speed units. Heavy Shield: prefers to work as a team with other terrorists, they will create cover for other terrorist while they themselves will stay as bullet sponges. If they have no allies around them, they will run to areas where there are allies, they themselves will almost never attack players, only if they are last one alive. These units have large shield that behave very similarly to Montagnes extended shield. They are 2 armor, 2 speed units. Special Units: Tank: has heavy armor and uses Light machinegun, Tanks work as bullet sponges and very hard to kill enemies in the field. Tanks are the rarest of all Special units as they are the hardest to kill. They are 3 armor, 1 speed units and they have 1000 and only take 150% damage from headshots. Elite Shield: are armed with SMG and shield and they try to close in while hip firing, they sometimes ADS when in longer distances. They carry Exothermic Charges. They are 3 armor, 1 speed units with 200 health. They also spawn to guard Camera Guard and Hostages. Grenadier: will attack players with their SMG and will actively throw impact grenades at them. They also destroy walls to prevent players from taking cover, they also carry Exothermic Charges. They are 3 armor, 1 speed units with 200 health. Bomber: (They work same way as they currently work). Hazmat: uses carbines and they throw gas grenades at players (similar to Smoke) that deal damage over time. They are 2 armor, 2 speed units that have 300 health. They look similar to Bombers but they do not have explosives strapped around them, nor lights. Medic: Terrorist unit that sticks with other terrorists, he heals wounded ones and himself. They also apply overheal to other terrorists. They are 2 armor, 2 speed units with 200 health. Defensive Units: are very passive and do not move much, they usually guard objectives or specific places, they do not spawn in missions where terrorists are attacking. Regular Units: Engineer: Very active before players arrive, actively placing Barbed Wire, C4 and reinforcements around important locations. They are also active near doors and windows, placing traps on them too. When players are close, they go in to hiding and activate C4 charges when player is near them. If player kills the engineer that placed the C4 charges, then those C4 charges won't explode. They are 2 armor, 2 speed units. (Engineers will also place Armor panels, similar to Castle, to doors near the objectives). Trapper: Places different kind of C4 charges. These charges are similar to Kapkan's traps, however these can be placed in anywhere in the map, they have laser that, if crossed will make the charge explode. Trapper passively places new traps around the map until killed. They are 1 armor, 3 speed units. Sniper: Guards windows during start of the round, aiming, spotting and shooting players that are closing the building. When players finally are inside, they will change their location to different advantage point inside the building. If they spot player, other aggressive terrorist units will move closer to their location. They are 1 armor, 3 speed units. Ambusher: Similar to Heavy assault, but instead of hunting players, they will stay near important objectives and they hide behind cover. They can also deploy deployable shields. They are 3 armor, 1 speed units. Stalker: starts hunting players when Sniper or camera spots them, or when players are close enough. Armed with silenced pistol and knife, they will attempt to attack from players from their blind sides (like from behind). They can only down players and not kill them but they will try to interrogate players similarly to Caveira, but they are 3x slower at interrogating player. They are 1 armor, 3 speed units. Special Units: Cameraman: Every terrorist defensive operation has one Cameraman, who will use cameras around the map to spot players. If player is in camera vision for 2.5s they are spotted and the closest aggressive enemies will try to kill the player. This can be avoided by destroying the cameras, or staying out of their line of sight. Killing Cameraman will also stop cameras from spotting and Dokkaebi is able to hack the Cameramans phone to access all terrorist cameras. Cameraman is defensive, he only stays in one room, far from the objective, which is guarded by Elite shields and Ambushers. There will be randomly placed new cameras around them on defensive missions. Turret: places windows, similar to Mira, to walls (these windows do not have bullet resistant glass), then they will deploy deployable LMG with protective shield, similar to Tachanka's. They will place the deployable lmg near the window to well protected spot or If there is no good wall placement for window, then they will only deploy turret and they will stay In it, firing player's that are closing the room. Turrets spawn mostly in objective areas. They are 2 armor, 2 speed units. Objective Units: These units are someway connected to current objective and only appear in those missions. Fake Hostage: Only spawns in hostage missions, this terrorist pretends to be hostage, but when player is close enough they will pull a gun and try to shoot player. When player first sees them, they will get objective marker similar to hostage, however if player uses drone and uses scan, player can identify if its real hostage or terrorist. They are 1 armor, 3 speed units. Captain: Appears in raid and assassination missions, heavily armored and armed captain is a tough enemy, they carry impact grenades and stun grenades along with their extended mag SMG. They are 2 armor, 2 speed units with 1000 health and they take 150% damage from headshots. Other terrorists will try to guard the Captain. In Assasination, When Captain loses 60% health, captain will try to escape from the map. Difficulty: Enemies stay consistent with difficulties, however special units number increases per difficulty, making it harder for players. (For example, at normal there are 2 bombers, 1 grenadier, 1 elite shield, at Realistic there are 4 bombers, 3 grenadier, 4 elite shield) Terrorists firearms deal 50% less damage to players (Head shots are not lethal, but deal 2x damage, which means that they deal regular damage), as there are now more enemies on the map, some stronger than the other. Terrorists can now more reliably hit players in all difficulties, not miss firing full 1-3 seconds. Terrorist melee attacks only deal 40 damage. Terrorists are more accurate the more closer player is. At far distances, they have low accuracy, at medium range they can hit almost reliably and at close range they are very accurate. However Terrorists are not accurate at shooting through surfaces, so if player is behind cover, terrorists will shoot blindly through walls trying to hit player. If player is in smoke, or behind some, Terrorists will shoot to last known direction. If player shoots through the smoke, the Terrorists try to return fire to direction where the bullets came. Regular type enemies react when they get shot, which makes them stop animations like shooting, aiming, building, throwing. However tougher more well armored opponents won't be stunned by bullets. New Missions And Improving Older Ones: Assassination: Eliminate high ranking terrorist before he escapes. There will be escape Van parked outside the building and players must kill the Captain before he can escape. Raid: Attack terrorist occupied area and kill their leaders and destroy their bio weapons. There are 2 captains in this mission and bio weapon room that players must neutralize, it is guarded by Hazmat terrorists. Terrorist Hunt Classic: Normal: 30 enemies. Mostly regular enemies. Allotted time: Infinite Hard 40 Enemies. Stronger enemies are uncommon. Allotted time: 12min Realistic: 50 Enemies. Stronger enemies are common. Allotted time: 15min Protect Asset Enemies are more aggressive than in current game. Preparation Time between Waves: 40s Normal: Round 1: 11 regular enemies, 1 special enemies. Round 2: 12 regular enemies, 2 Special enemies. Round 3: 13 regular enemies, 3 Special enemies. Round 4: 14 regular enemies, 4 Special enemies. Hard Round 1: 15 regular enemies, 3 special enemies. Round 2: 17 regular enemies, 4 Special enemies. Round 3: 19 regular enemies, 5 Special enemies. Round 4: 21 regular enemies, 6 Special enemies, + 1 Guaranteed Tank spawn. Realistic Round 1: 18 regular enemies, 5 special enemies. Round 2: 20 regular enemies, 6 Special enemies. Round 3: 22 regular enemies, 7 Special enemies. Round 4: 24 regular enemies, 8 Special enemies, + 1 Guaranteed Tank spawn. Hostage Extraction Works just like it does now, but at Hard and Realistic difficulties there are 2 fake hostages in the map. The hostages are better guarded and not as easy to extract. Regular terrorist units may use Hostage as living shield, so players have to be more careful when shooting. With higher difficulties there are more special units. Disarm Bombs Works just like now, but there will be more special units with higher difficulties. Not to mention bombs will be better protected. Abilities and Resupply: At all difficulties, players get 2x times more ability and utility gadgets (Example: Ash gets 4 grenade launcher ammo, compared to regular 2) Normal Difficulty: Players can resupply infinitely from resupply boxes: They also receive 40 health and can resupply gadgets. Hard: Players get 10 resupply changes per resupply box. They also heal 40 health and can resupply gadgets. Realistic: Players get 5 resupply changes per resupply box. They also heal 40 health and can resupply gadgets. Max deployables per player at one time on map is (10 from ???) After Match After a match (failed or successful) players can vote to either to do same mission, or to change map and mission. Players can vote what map they want to play next. Rewards: - Higher Difficulties offer better rewards.
Match Credits: (Not universal, as some missions take less time than others to complete) If player wins a Hard match, they receive 1% change for their next Alpha packs roll. If players win a Realistic, they can roll to get a Alpha packs and if they don't get one, they get 1.5% change for next roll. (This could probably change, depending on what mission is played). submitted by /u/omegaskorpion [link] [comments] |
