Regarding the "keys" request:Can't players simply blow up the wall of the locked room with their rocket launcher...?I mean,why search a key for a locked door while you can simply nuke it?

Angel of Conflict
- Always in Aggressive mode
- Enemies are considered as they were in Aggressive mode as well
- Enemies sometimes attack each other when the player's around
- More enemies are generated
- Stronger enemies are generated at earlier levels

It's hardly passable. Maybe:

Angel of Massacre
- Always in Aggressive mode(could be cautious. Or maybe even without restriction)
- Enemies sometimes attack each other when the player's around(could be, or not)
- Lot more enemies are generated
- Lot more weapons, armor, ammo, meds, and powerups are generated

Something like Arcade mode.)) All of that could result in no inventory space problems, no thoughts about what to pick, and what to leave, no weapon that is your primary(every weapon could be primary if you ran out of ammo for your current weapon and there's a lot of ammo for any other weapon. So no specified trait path at the beggining of the game, you pick traits that are useful in your current situation, if you are currently using shotguns, you pick Reloader, then you ran out of shells, you pick Chaingun, and on next levelup you pick Eagle Eye, then again, you ran out of 10mm, but you found lots of shells and Double Shotty, on next levelup you pick Reloader*2). Ammo, weapons, meds, and armor are just waste materials, you don't bother about them because there's a lot of them all around. And, of course, you need to constantly use all your arsenal, so for what lots of monsters are generated. Of course that all would result as much bigger exp flow, but that could be fun to have all-in-one marine at dlvl 20.)

Yeah, except that it doesn't really have a very good name. Who would ever think the High Lord in Heavens would have a lackey named Angel of Massacre with him?

Angel of War would be a loads better, IMO. While we're there, we could also have Angel of Death, Angel of Famine, and Angel of Pestilence.

Angel of Carnage

Starts with standard Shotgun
Can only equip Shotguns/Combats/Double Shotguns
More shells are spawned in lower levels
Perhaps a guaranteed Advanced Combat Shotgun and Double Shotgun at certain level landmarks

Also, on the topic of shotguns...Is Reloader supposed to be useless for shotguns once you get Shottyman? If you are focusing on shotguns, it kinda makes Shottyman a 3 point trait. What about either tying Shottyman into Hellrunner (2)? Alternatively, what about making Reloader reduce the distance the game considers your targets at for rolling shotgun damage by 1 square/level?

Malek, can you add poll into this topic for all proposed challenges with 2 maximum votes per user?

Zing - done.

BTW what happened, to old challenges thread (and by old I mean the one that stared the idea) - did we loose it with forum software changes, or something? (It would be a shame - there were tons of ideas there)

Nope, here it is. Surely you can add all old ideas to polling too and increase max votes to 3.)

P.S. Maybe merge this 2 topics? oO

P.P.S. And stick them.

Merging would be futile - it would be much to hard to find anything in the topic, plus there are several other topics about challenges. I have a better idea - I'll make a new sticky about challenge modes in a second, then we'll move all current proposals from existing topics (tons of work so I count on your help here ;P) and after we have everything in one place than I can make the pool.

PS. If you are willing to help with gathering data for new topic, please start with topics other than the old one first, and THEN go for pages 6-10 of the first topic (I'll go for pages 1-5). Oh, and I'll remove the poll from this one.
