Mostly for practical purposes about trying to zero in on a player that close. It also has to be able to see the frozen player. Actually the same checks the regular sentry gun uses. I dont recall how long the turret lasts on the map nor the max range but that can certainly be increased to make it more useful for a higher streak if its not doing anything. Well as of right now, I feel like when I completely spec for effective defrosting with streaks, it's better if I leave the turret and take something that will give me spawnarmor, as it will allow me to get similair amounts of defrosts, but with a bonud of kills and a nice little disappearance act. I understand everything can't be balanced, but figured I'd best put it out there. Not sure if other people even tend to get the same issues, maybe I just set them up at poor locations.. Awards

I've noticed that sometimes when I emp myself or get emp'ed by the enemy, I can still defrost from a distance sometimes. Not always, but sometimes, didn't know if it was a bug or something I missed.

However you can still defrost by standing in the bubble. Awards

So pretty well protected and in the location could see quite a bit of the play area. Got 10 players before it was destroyed.... tho two or three times it was myself close by. I wasnt shooting anybody just monitoring so an open target. Now just have to make sure it isnt too good. Such as how it works on a big open map where it could see everything. Is the new distance too long. Still has to be fair. Oh, and whoever got me with the predator and car... you should have thought of the team and took out the defroster that was closeby. Because after you got me I was defrosted in about 5 seconds. Pretty useful to have these things around your spawn area in protected spots. Especially if your enemies ignore them to get a kill. Next test, place the defroster and a sentrygun nearby to keep an eye on it. See if anyone can get it. Awards

However you can still defrost by standing in the bubble. Then there appears to be a bug where that sometimes does not happen, remote defrosting I mean. Occasionally I will still be able to while the timer is going. I will try and see what was happening next time I see it. Roxy! 1 Awards

Takes practice to get a good throw if you are moving around a lot. The bolts in the sky are the uav defroster killstreak. Awards

I mean, you do 50 defrosts you earn a Defrosting Nuke Mini nuke. Make it a built-in streak perhaps, that gets added to your regular kill streak loadout? Sink about it Sammy... Sink Sink. !fu iboomboom I have never got a nuke accept I stole a crate that had a mini nuke 1 time! set it off in their spawn killed everything but one of the players on the other team!but sure ill try for a defrost nuke!

Even just bumped up the range of the sentry a bit. The easier I do make it to defrost, or more ways to do it, the more it becomes tdm. I really dont want to start adding too much at this point. Beta 10 will be primarily compiling all the existing bug fixes. Also fixing some missing images and stuff like that. If I am to continue with ftag, in some other game, then it would be from the ground up and as far away from standard tdm as possible. No bullet weapons but a few freeze guns. Yes a GL-like weapon (or something like that blob-shooter from UT) that lobs freeze canisters... but means you get no freeze gun. So you dont freeze with a couple bullets. You need to keep a freeze ray on his torso for a second. But 1/2 frozen players can only 1/2 as fast stuff like that. Almost like the opposite of defrosting. Anyways, long story short is that I dont want to start thinking up much more new shit to add. Done enough. Bas 1 Awards
