After making 2.0, the hardcore sequel to the successful original game(with over 1 million visits), it did not take off like I had hoped. #1 Reason? Too much content, too many things to learn and really hard for newbies to learn and want to stay and play. In this version, I will be sure to take the best of the original and 2.0, add new ideas, give the game a whole new design, and most importantly, make it easier to play and catch onto quickly!
In this version, some things I probably plan to do are: -Recreate almost all scripts from scratch and optimize them with the most efficient possible coding for minimum lag and least glitches. -Create a new lobby, but allow people to join in the middle of a round rather than waiting in the lobby for the next round. The time in lobby inbetween rounds will be a brief 10-15 seconds. -Remake and give GUIs a whole new design, with a simpler and easier to use interface. -Create a Royalty-Point system. For every hour you play in this version, you earn a royalty point, which you can save up to spend on very-small-but-permanent upgrades(ex always move 0.5 walkspeed faster in every server and game you play) -Most importantly, make sure that it is far easier and simpler to play than 2.0. Make sure it is not a hassle to learn to play. Perhaps add an in-game live tutorial that explains all the basics? Yes? No?
Major points up for discussion:
*Game modes* Keep? Throw in the trash? Create new, more-creative and easy-to-learn game mode? Discuss. Give any ideas for game modes too if you want.
*Shop* Which Items are too OP(overpowered) and should be removed? Shop prices to be left alone, or raised, or completely remodeled? -Shop will have a much nicer gui interface when I'm done, too! -Likely going to replace detector with a compass that points to the nearest frozen ally so you can save them.
*Play/Sit out* A new gui you can choose to sit out at any time and it will not put you into the next round of the game. Helpful for going brb/afk. Should I add this or not? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have begun making this final edition of freeze tag, and you can see it's progress at the link given below at any time. However, just be warned that it is not done, and if you visit at inbetween stages of scripting, things could malfunction or not work properly.

I can't really play anymore, but I'll still post my opinions.
Game modes: I love them, but a lot of people hate them, especially bomber, so don't put bomber back in. There should be a gui where each person votes on if they want a specific game mode. Like a gui with two bars: Double Mastery and Giant Character, and a Yes and a No button next to it. Depending on how many people vote for it, the chance of a certain game mode appearing relies on how many people vote on it compared to the total amount of players. My explanation seems complicated and it seems hard to script this, but I would like something like this. If this is not possible, then I would want game modes in, but I'm not so sure about other people.
Shop: Alright. There's a lot to this. All of it is my OPINION.
Detector-You mentioned something about royalty points, where you get more points for the more you play. Detector should be a bought item with royalty points, and instead of being a separate tool, it should be a gui that appears all the time, so it's more convenient.
Compass-Wow really neat, I didn't even know you could do that.
Long Sword-No matter how much I hate this weapon, it should stay the same price.
Help Flare-I actually find this item somewhat useless for its price, so basically that sums it up.
Run tool and Jump Higher-Should these two prices be switched?
Baton, Duals, Bomb-I think these higher weapons should have their prices increased because if you have these weapons, you basically have a MASSIVE advantage over other players.
The rest of the items are good I think.
Play/Sit Out: Yes yes yes, good feature to have.
Recreate scripts: Well, you said you recreated the scripts for 2.0, but the maps and some of the game modes still caused it to lag.
Gui: I don't really get how the 2.0 or 1.0 interface was hard to use.
Tutorial: What would the tutorial be? Would it be like 2.0's tutorial using words to explain? Or would you be teleported to some map to fight a dummy? Idk what you really mean.
Name: This is optional but you can try naming it something other than Freeze Tag 3.0, such as Freeze Tag Arctic Blast or Freeze Tag Revolution or something.
Sorry for the long *** post. |

| And what if this one doesn't take off, you'll make 4.0, so this one's not the final edition. :P |

Oh and I forgot, the point I wanted to mention the most.
Cheap Spots: No matter how rigged and unfair this may seem, it's one of the reasons why people were hooked to the first version of freeze tag. After getting a few teammates trapped in the cheap spot, the team would team up and form strategies to defeat the few people who were camping at the cheap spot. Isn't that what the game is about? Ultimate TEAM Freeze Tag is the name.
And the reason why this works is because ALL cheap spots have flaws. Pig Pen covers a wide area so the team could jump in from opposite sides of the pig pen. The Ship's bathroom had MANY strategic tactics and racking up 70 freezes in one round in the bathroom was a great feeling. In the new maps, the Playground and Jungle, there weren't many cheap spots that were very effective, so maybe that's why those maps weren't as favored as the original's.
I mean it's your decision whether or not to put these in, but from a player's point of view, these "cheap spots" are both strategic and fun to use. |

And when I first played this game, I remember the game was mainly based on strategy, mainly because people during the beginning weren't very experienced. Now it's basically one or two people freezing the whole entire opposing team, or just one person jumping around thawing his/her team for 10 minutes. Even with the run tool nerf, this is still pretty possible.
Another point is, people who play nowadays are much better than people who played during the game's beginning. During the beginning, no one really had much experience, so a new person joining had a fair chance. I see many people at 2.0 rage quitting because the only people who still play freeze tag are pros. |

| No, this is the LAST freeze tag. If this one does not take off, I'm starting fresh with a new game altogether. And the tutorial would teleport you to a section that has some sort of dummy to freeze, and a team dummy to thaw, and then it would explain how all the guis work. |

| hmmmm well i have a thought what if people stay just to get points , ok so lets say someone stays but doesnt play for 8 hours or so then they can spend 8 points on walkspeed, 0.5 so then there walkspeed will be increased by 4 just in one day so lets say in a week or so theyed have 16 or 20 extra walkspeed? idontkno about that idea... maybe you should have a max walkspeed...maybe so thats my thought about the walkspeed idea and the OP ones are duel and bombs u should remove those and add 2 or 3 extra items, i'd remove the game modes too and jungle, jungle is really really laggy teams should stay the same all the time. a sitting down spectator? hmmmm idontkno about that one so you could just sit down whenever u want or is it a spectator? i'd only have lobby for people who reset and affter the round is over that person goes back in again but the lobby shoud only be for the reseters though. Hmmm thats all i have for now i'll add anything if i think of anything else |

Ya i agree rubiks the people thought the cheap shots were fun and thats part of the reason why people think they didnt like 2.0 better then 1.0 i also think
ADD A NEW MAP MAYBE WINTER WONDERLAND OR FISH TANK
first i'd test out the lagg rating on both of them though, maybe the place where u could test put freezeing put an EASY MEDIAM HARD IMPOSSIBAL dummys and maybe impossibbal should have a bunch of hard people coming twords you so then the 3.0 or 1.5 or the reveloution or whatever you'd call it just wouldnt have pros or anything and i think the easy mediam hard and impossibal dummy's would be pretty cool
I think you should have an amount of freezes or thaws to get royalty points intead of the time that your there
hmm other then the 0.5 walkspeed on royalty points you should probably, have very little higher jump or maybe a "compess" upgrade to show you more specific places and people who are coming twords you, idontkno if that'll work or not but NOW thats al i have to say |

| I only meant that you could upgrade the walkspeed once or twice with the royalty points. |

Yeah we need cheap spots, definitely. Especially the ship bathroom, that was the best.
And make some new maps such as fish tank or construction site. |

add more modes (capture the flag, free-for-all...) add a gui the lets the peeps choose which game mode they want. for the lobby, u should make a mini obby or something that will entertain the players while theyre waiting for the next match. remove the unnecessary stuff in the shop and add more weapons. &&&&&&& more maps :)

| Lol, Keep Everything except duel mastery, its rate of becoming a game type is too high. Include a system that keeps track of the rate. There should be moderators for an offline policy. Practice rooms would be a fun place to spend time during a battle. Giant character has multiple bugs and should be removed. I just like classic freeze tag. Include tournaments. Ask Gamer101 for the tournament script since he used your dual swords. Ranking for in-game would be awesome too. |

| "Include tournaments. Ask Gamer101 for the tournament script since he used your dual swords." Tournaments? Nah. And if I wanted tournaments I would just script them myself. |
