Deadline Adversary Mode

[Dacelo]

The bigger the map the worst the map is in terms of people being cowardly and not going near other players. Often 3 of the players will be fighting each other until there's one guy with 1 life left and one guy with 5/6 who has just been driving around all game avoiding the other players to get an advantage.

So far my favourite map is the one at the docks with cargo containers and a short wall. Least favourite is the massive one near the lighthouse.

Wonder if we'll get a creator for this? It is one hell of a game mode. I enjoyed it. One of the few that is good for sh*ts and giggles.

I like the simplicity of the Lighthouse one without the gimmicky tubes and junk around plus the powerups on those ramps are tougher to get, so they play a smaller role in the battle (please add this mode to Creator, Rockstar!!!). I won't hide and wait for other players to kill each other, but if I see that 2 or 3 are fighting head-to-head, I'll make it my mission to box them in whatever part of the map they're on while they are distracted.

 

I've also seen players heading toward where my trail is dissolving and slammed on the brakes to prevent the section they were headed toward to dissolve before they got there. The trails have a set length not a set amount of time to exist, so if you're going slow (or fast) then the end of your trail is equally slow or fast

Now that I think about it; vehicle-based adversary modes are just more fun.

Except Rhino Hunt

Cool and fun mode but in what, the slow mo time power-up is an advantage since the owner and other players are affected by it ?

I'm just not digging this. Shotaro unlocked with both characters, so goodbye......

[Goingcrowd9]

It's the best adversary mode.

Not saying much, but it is actually fun.

Edit: also I can confirm you only need to play Deadline to unlock the Shotaro, I lost both rounds but I unlocked it.

 

"It's the best adversary mode"

I'm sorry, but I disagree, I do not THINK this is the 'best' mode...

I second this. The Zone power up does nothing apart from slow down time. It doesn't give the user an advantage in anyway. It's one of the few flaws I've came across:

 

- Zone power up is pointless as it only slows down time.

 

- Some maps are large allowing players who are absolute cowards to keep their distance.

 

- The tubes in the Sandy Shores Deadline. Bikes in general are rubbish going through tubes inclined at an angle.

 

Other than that, it's absolutely fun and its right up there with Power Play and Slasher

Please don't try to start an argument.

Yes indeedy!

 

I still play another variation of Blockade, called Snafu, on my Intellivision. It was released in 1981. My cart still works!

 

 

Video is not me btw - if it was it would cut straight to the gameplay with no fannying around beforehand

An Adversary mode that many players have described as one of, if not they number one, favorites is a mode that Rockstar wholly stole from another game/movie.

So after a having a few more goes, I have to say this is definitely more fun with more players. I know that sounds obvious, but with some modes the fun really ramps up when there's only two or three of you left, such as Every Bullet Counts for example. With this mode, I find I'm pissing in the wind when it's down to the wire. You both grow wise to each other's patterns and wind up going around in circles hoping to overlap your trail. More often than not, I've found myself dodging my own trail.

 

The smaller, more confined maps are better. I'm crap with the numbers, so I'll just describe them - I didn't like falling in the water, triggering a death. I was going too fast to even see it so that was mildly annoying. I did enjoy the one shaped like a big bowl though, the one with dead high walls. There is some fun to be had trying to scale the wall and avoid people.

I don't think I have any of the Atari 2600 clones of Blockade, but I do still have (somewhere...) an old Nokia cell phone with Snakes built into it.

Is the colours random? I've been trying to get pink for the last 15 mins so I can edit pics in the editor -_-

[Rhoda]

Seems like it, I've been pink a couple of times but I've been hitting blue more often than not.

[Jammsbro]

Only two minor gripes so far. Sometimes the bunny hop lags slightly and there seems to be a confusing set of physics when two players collide. I've hit a player while being slightly ahead and somehow he's gotten in front of me and killed me.

 

Still, no matter. It's fast, fun and fair. Great game.

It seems random.

I've been all the colors and never a choice. I'm not even seeing a pattern where the host is always a particular color or the color is chosen by order of arrival.

I finally got to be pink lol. I won the first round, it went to sudden death. Round 2 was less exhilarating but still p fun.

Almost. The game is now in the public domain so anyone can use it and variations there of. If you used an actual, pre-existing game then you will be in the sh*t, but variation of the form and you are fine. As for the name tron you can get into trouble though as it is copyrighted.

I wasn't calling them out on a copyright issue, just that they used someone else's idea for a new mode that turns out to be relatively well-received (unlike most of their adversary modes)

[J-Scott-D]

I did I w/my wife's character and IV with mine. I won the first round by accident, after that, my ass was handed to me. lol Just another reminder of how bad I am with anything PvP in this game.

 

Still not sure if I'm even going to buy the bike.

Well it's snake.. In 3d. It's a worthy game in it's own right, plenty tactics. We will see players in this mode that are absolute experts soon enough. Even after playing it twice I had learnt enough to destroy all the first timers. It's the best addition to this game in a while!.

I think deathmatch is a little better since it encourages people to engage with each other a bit more, but sadly the last man standing mode is the default and no one ever changes it.

[SinZer0s]

Played it and it's f*cking awesome unlike that lost vs damned unbalanced bullsh*t from a few weeks ago

[nicknamen]

Have played for 5th hours almost non-stop lol. Best map is the 2nd.
Also RS really need expand possible amount of players to atleast 10.

[M.K.N.]

Out of all the other Adversary Modes R* kept making which were ignored, Deadline has pretty much won me over. I'm no Tron fan, but THIS is the only Adversary Mode so far that has become an instant fave.

[Zader]

I played this from when it dropped until I fell asleep and only ever lost three rounds.

This is so much f*cking fun and I never want it to stop.

[Jimmy]

I wouldn't it's unbalanced and not necessarily a bad thing. Can't wait to give it a try though.
