Different metagames.
« on: August 30, 2014, 04:50:03 AM »
It would be nice if we had more metagames, a.k.a. ways to build and compete in RA2. (Like IRL, DSL-S) And I do not only mean tournament gimmicks, after all IRL was a simple tournament gimmick once.

The three main ones are Unrealistic (like in stock but can be done in DSL), DSL-S and IRL.

We have also Scrapyard (only one component of each type in a bot), n00b warz (build like a n00b), anything goes... Artbot is also a metagame but we don't exactly compete.

Other ideas : Have each and every component be parallel to each other component (sidehammer and SnS galore though), what else...

Modding components so each and every component, in a component class, has the same stats ? So all bots have 8WD copal drive ?

Give me more ideas.

Do different weapons?- so only allowed a certain type of weapon

And you could pretend your on a 'cheap budget' and only use components under a specific weight limit

Those are my ideas

ianh07 sorta did that with his AW/BW chassis which almost everyone uses. Would be interesting to see it on a larger scale though.

Make an opposite of IRL where instead of building robots that could work irl make robots that defy all laws known to man.
