Basically, longer jihad time before the explosion, but either bigger explosion or explosion goes through walls. Put it in the pointshop as an upgrade or make it another item in the T shop. It would provide more options for jihad sounds, and would make for more interesting gameplay.
Perhaps the opposite as well? Shorter jihad time but smaller explosion. The only issue I have is that in gmod, Doors>Walls>Props>Jihad
I say it should at least have added 3 more seconds if it gets that OP but I support this because AIR JIHADS +1
Personally I'm suggesting it mainly because I want longer jihad sounds in. Basically this: 1:00 - 1:05 There were some others as well, but I forget.
Song ideas for 'pro jihads': Let the bodies hit the floor Wrecking ball Skrillex - Call 911 Now Benny Benassi - Cinema (DDDDDrop the base)
I already have a few sounds in mind (if ever this gets accepted/implemented). I have seen no negative feedbacks as of yet, so I'm very optimistic in this suggestion. My only concern is that if it's possible to be coded.
I'm gonna have to say no to jihads going through walls. Warnings would be useless in closed environments and T buddies would have to escape much farther away. I can see this being an issue with people "not being given enough warning" and reports following.
The only counter argument to this not being implemented would be this: "Oh, but c4 can go through walls! Why not Jihads!? >:C" Which, as Rice mentions, would give the admins/mods a harder time getting people to not be dumb with their jihads in the future. C4's have an icon telling them where their traitor buddies placed them, whereas you have to sort of guess where your T-Buddies that have jihads are located as to not get completely fucked over. I'd have to disagree with having this implemented :/
"[User] has bought a Jihad Bomb!" Honestly, I think that's enough warning in my opinion. It's the same thing as not reading rules or paying attention to the game and events - you should be penalized for not acknowledging the fact that your traitor buddy has a dangerous tool, ready to use. Surely he/she should give you time to vacate the premises, but if the player is too ignorant to understand the game, the other shouldn't be punished.
So you are telling me that if a t buddy buys a jihad at the beginning of the round it is my responsibility to stay away for the whole round? How about no.
There's a beautiful thing, that could honestly prevent any issues with this, called communication. Don't be lazy.. on a video game.
Don't know about either of you two above me, but by the time I see the "<name> has bought a Jihad Bomb!" I tend to forget straight away due to me trying to hunt down someone straight when the round begins. Not sure if it'd be possible to accomplish, but if there was a tracking sort of thing, sort of like a traitor on traitor radar thing, then more Jihad Bombing of fellow traitors could probably be reduced. Although I probably should have posted this as part of a suggestions thread in itself.
Would it be possible to add a little message under someone like with the player's karma rating that shows if your traitor buddy has a jihad?
