Para Gameplay

We are proud to add this into 3.0. The way this system works is left up to the mapper. We allowed alot of flexability in the way to mix normalpara gameplays now. Currently in our 3 para maps for 3.0 you will see some of the following. Both teams will be 1 life round team, or when you die you wait for next round. You can win by completing objectives which award more points, or wipe out the other team. Mappers can change these settings and mix gameplays, with para 1 lifers vs. normal dod infinite life team. The possibilities with the gameplay + objectives coding in 3.0 is endless.

Cutscenes

Maps that feature this will play a dramatic movie scene to show objectives, or set the mood for the map. The 3 para maps featured in 3.0 have team specific joining cutscenes. Each team sees a different cutscene, and only 1 time when they first spawn up in the map. Clan matches can turn this feature off when mp_clan_match 1, and mp_clan_showcutscenes set to 0.

Removable Helmets

The new para player models feature this, we will work in the old models in future version(s). When a bullet strikes the helmet it will fly off, and the player will be without a helmet rest of round. Nearby grenade blasts can also blow a helmet off. Just a little fun addition.

New Spectator System

Incorporated HLTV features into ingame spectator system. Modes include: First person, FreeLocked chase cam, Map FreeLocked, Inset window views. Health of the player your spectating is also shown. HLTV features from 2.1 is shown on the maps as well, such as tnt, grenades thrown, objectives and their status, for the map views (insetfull map mode). Objectives status area is shown if no inset view is present as well.
