ET 1.2 first impressions

So, Elimination Tournament 1.2 is finaly out, with a new terrain (Assault) and a new gadget (Gas grenade). What are your first impressions from these additions? Fun, boring, balanced, imbalanced?

Needs a f*cking shotgun. <3
Although otherwise I have yet to try it. xD

I were hoping for a shotgun aswell, will check out the map asap.

Disappointed:

- 1 new item
- bounty is still 1 gold (pretty sure about that)
- no new weapons
- I didnt see any major change with laser but I did play lava
- shrapnel nerfed and useless... again

I played a game on the Assault terrain and it wouldn't work.
Neither team could pick up the opposing team's flag.

Either I didn't get the memo, or it's a bug.
Replay attached.

bounty isnt 1 gold.
There is a major change with laser
shrapnel isnt that much nerfed as it is changed. It is impossible to get a 1hit kill, but its alot easier to do alot of damage with the shrapnel if you dont have the perfect hit. It's just a new (and better) way of using the shrapnel.

And duck... its assault, you must take "your" flag and score in the enemy base...

Knew it, I didn't get the memo.

Although the flag told me in its tooltip that only the enemy could pick it up and that if I tried to pick it up it would return it.
Maybe you should make Assault its own flag item, that way this sort of confusion wouldn't happen. :P

And...
MY NAME IS NOT DUCK!
/cry

I shall call you duck, get used to it :)

feels very resemblent.

only one new item and some balancing. not a lot of exciting new changes. You should have really added a new weapon.

Woa, it's been a while since I played "Elimination". "Elimination Tournament" definitely is an improvement

The map was fun, had a great gameplay and was well balanced
There are many small details within the map which makes me like it even more.

However, I think that the "Shrapnel Gun" reloads *kinda* too fast, could be extended with a few seconds time in my opinion...
And I must agree with Rising_Dusk regarding the shot-gun issue. A "shot-gun" would be a relevant weapon to implement
Just like an old-school Rocket Launcher ^^

-- Keep up the good work

Yess... Bring forth the shotgun... Come to the dark side...
We have cookies! <3

I can't think of anything derogatory to turn your name into...
So I shall call you Mini.
Because I can.

6 items was nice to use one per each item slot, but 7... a bit weird. Laser is not overpowered. In wallish terrains from 1.1 it was already a heavy accuracy weapon, it is now very, very accurate against other weapons. Maybe decrease damage to something like 35 or 30, it would be ok.

i disagree. the upgraded laser is now very balance. people are... actually... USING IT :emote_gasp: Hell, I even used it, and got a few ricochet kills.

P.S I know there is no :emote_gasp:

Well, pretty much what Taur said.
Tweaks/balances/fixes are always good but I was hoping for 1-2 new weapons.

I think its pretty balanced now, so hopefully youll stride more towards new additions than cleanups?

I have a replay from my brother in Elimination Tournament 1.1 that shows the Laser is already overpowered by its cooldown.
