[CF List] New experience system on metalforge

[Andreas Vogl]

First off, I think what was said about lacking multiplayer
cooperation is true. The CF combat system is mostly too
quick and too straightforward to get players cooperating.
Lack of friendly fire does the rest. I have often experienced
that chances to get killed during "party play" are way higher
than for anything else.

It is also true that most maps are designed for single-players.
Naturally mapmakers tend to design maps in the same way
they like to play them.

This is interesting. :-)
You think the CF map editors discourage creation of
multi-player maps? How so?

Do you have something in mind how to encourage creation
of multi-player maps in a Crossfire editor?

I know my attempts are poor, but that's kind of what I'm
trying to do with the CFJavaEditor. ;-))

Just say what you are missing in the editor, I'm always
open for input.

While I can understand your notion to create an all-new
CF editor, please be aware that it would require tremendous
amounts of work to do so. It might be wise to build on
what we've got.
