Granted, I know it's a gameplay feature...but I think it sort of encourages this type of tactic. I might be making this too much of a big deal but I found it interesting.

I wonder who showed the "model example" of wiping without being seen *Cough* Lasoya!!!*Cough*

[Target Practice]

You know, maybe we should add a "Cork Your Bat" mode to the next MLB game, or a "Cooking Spray On Your Jersey" mode to Madden '06.

That's just stupid.

haha, thats exactly what i was thinking
i guess if you select to be lasoya then you don't even need to hit the button to wipe, it is an automatic reaction for him

[teufelhunden]

That's pretty cool.

At least its realistic.

[Tyger]

Cheating is deeply ingrained in the paintball mindset. I don't have to like it, but it's there.

Hey gibby, who's developing that?

[gibby]

Hey gibby, who's developing that?

Not us...but another developer is making it for Activision. I forget the name but I believe it's an east coast developer.

Activision is the publisher, WXP are the developers.

The "Wipe meter," man, can you say poor taste?

[Bulldog]

^^Definately poor taste. I think they are based in Seattle. Just X-box on this one?


Edit: "escape elimination with the groundbreaking Cheat Meter"

[JimmyBeam]

as the saying goes.....

cheaters live longer

Yep, but it certainly doesn't need to be encouraged.
