Is planned Lo Wang?
Is Lo Wang planned ,see a simple copy/paste :P
Maybe at some point. But we need to figure out good ideas for abilities.
Passive - "Better than accupuncture!": Health items give extra health
Active - "Everybody dead. I like that.": The classic SW nuke. Big blast radius, area around explosion becomes poisonous for a while.
Well, duh. I've seen that's actually Duke's pasive. So, another idea: "A Ninja knows no fear!": Chance (for example 15-20%) for any damage recieved to be halved. Stacks with armor.
And if you're planning to add Blaskowicz:
Active - "Dual Wield": Exactly as it says on the tin, as in new Wolfenstein iterations and QC
Passive - "Terror Billy": Blasko scares enemies to death. That means they move (slightly) slower and deal (slightly) less damage if they're close to B.J.
Or alternatively as a Lo Wang active - "I am the Shadow Warrior!": Partial invisibility for a while. Sneak with the super shotty or **** off those railgun campers.
We need custom champions.
It's planned for the future. But not possible ATM
Hail to the king baby!
"I ain't afraid of no quake" :3
Is this a multi & Single player?
Yes. You can play SP with quake 1, 2, 4 or regular doom monsters, with any of the 14 champs.
And multiplayer, it sure is possible. Coop and all sorts of deathmatch.
