Duel of the Dead

[Kafein]

Perhaps just allow players to become a specter after death.  These specters, running around normally, could then duel one another.  I don't see how this would increase lag since it isn't adding any additional textures.

This sounds really cool. But I doubt the game engine allows two people to be on the same location, which can happen with specters. Furthermore, it will be hard to make the living not able to see specters (some kind of weird shader maybe).

I would actually play battle regularly if this was implemented.  +1!

Ghosting taken to a new level.

The fact that there is nothing to do when you die except watch, kinda forces everyone to work together.
It also reduces the number of AFKers since people that need to do something usually wait untill they die. But if they can play all the time, that doesnt matter so much.

dumb idea, if you want something like this just ask for a duel server that arranges team matches like Quake Arena.

what would be better is cinematic death replays ala TF2
vote on who got the best kill/death/etc and they earn a bit of extra coin/xp

Yes and no. People still want to win and will risk death or be cautious in order to do that. Just guessing but maybe it cuts down ranged a bit because it's the easiest way to contribute without risking to die.
AFKers, well I went AFK on the start of the battle very often when I knew my team would camp, sometimes I got killed but very rarely. If you rather want to go AFK while dead, you can have the option (like afking on duel server or with a checkbox in menu).

..or the game automatically starts to play porno movies when you die, till the round ends.. better idea, isn't it?

[MrShovelFace]

impossible without modding every single map ever made on every server and modding battle mode while keeping in step with other game elements

Awsome idea mate, just awsome. If its possible and not too much work i would love to see this.
You could also think of some kind of ghost mode on the same battlefield ;)

[Lisandro]

A lot of work, when i die, i make some coffe,i scratch my nuts and watch to good players

[Vibe]

Very good idea, if made optional.

[ToxicKilla]

Lag.

Why would it lag?
There would be the exact same amount of players as at the start of the round.

+1 for your creativity. and for Rune as well (nothing beats using heads as a melee weapon)
