"How would interrupting attacks work on the hunter/prey?"
They would work as they always have, unless they turn out to be overpowered. In that case, the interruption time should be shortened or even removed altogether.

"Would the players have the option to change loadouts in between rounds?"
Yes, that could be useful for most players, and I don't see how it could be abused.

"Why is a shielded recon the same as normal walking speed?"
I thought they were slower too, but decided to actually check it and found that it is, in fact, as fast as normal walking.

Hunter Bound sounds really interesting, actually. It does seem a bit hard to master, but I guess that's where the fun is at.

"A way to make the bomber and assassin classes more playable"
I never said this, but the Bombardier class is not supposed to be easy to play with.
Its firepower should be strong enough to one-hit-kill preys. Yeah, I know it sounds overpowered but that damage boost is only for bombs, which are the hardest weapons to handle in the game.
So, in a nutshell, it compensates difficulty with firepower.

About assassins, they are invisible (or close to that) and that's pretty badass on its own, in my opinion.

Hey, while reading your post, I thought that it could be nice if each class had its own ability.
For instance, making the Flair exclusive for Juggernauts, and giving two brand new abilities for Assassins and Bombardiers (one for each), OR maybe keeping the Flair available for all of them, and creating other three abilities.
That would very likely make the game a bit more about mastering a class' ability, and not only choosing which of them suits your weapons the best.
Does that sound cool or is it just me?

@Isisdelltion
Nice! I'm looking forward to them ^^

EDIT: Oh, btw, 5th page !!!!! Hell yeah \0

@Mic: Wow that's really fast; not a real problem though. oh, and how far would it travel as well? i think it should be around 7 blocks away.

So, nobody's suggesting more abilities...
I guess I'll just suggest some myself and see if people like it or not:
Hunter Audition - Similar to the Flair, but, instead of outlines, it features small arrows on the screen's borders pointing to the direction of every offscreen Prey in a circular radius of about twice the screens' area(yes, there is a limit). Like this. Ignore the wolver btw, I just couldn't get it off there >.>

Hunter Teleport - Transports you back to your spawn point immediately. Has some seconds of cooldown.

Hunter Reach - Doubles bullet range for guns and adds 50% to any bomb's radius. No effect on swords.

Yeah, just three for now... /Debate

haha, do you mind if I call you Mic from now on? =P
Ok, that sounds fair enough for the Bound.

I wish I'd get to read opinions about those three abilities I suggested, but damn, this has gotten to page 3 without any >.>
Yeah, I'll just make a shadow copy on General discussions for more attention...

I'm afraid this thread will die soon, we have discussed about pretty much everything we could.
Classes are all balanced, regarding speed, strenght, health, immunities and abilities;
The Hunters' main feature (lack of vision) is on agreement with everything else;
The concepts of chasing and outwitting as the game's climax was easily accepted by most comments;
Round time and scores look quite fair for both Hunter and Preys;
Rewards and entry fees follow the patterns settled by OOO on Blast Network and Lockdown;
We have an awesome symbol and eight amazing maps, surely enough to keep it as alive as Lockdown;
And we even have an extra game mode, Frenzy Survival, for those who like a quick match.

Stuff left to discuss:
-Hunters' looks. I know we agreed on different auras for each, but I still feel that an unique piece of clothing or equipment would be better looking, just like Guardian's flag, Recon's antennae and Striker's rocket. I guess auras would make the devs look lazy.
-Traps. Can't remember if we actually talked about which traps (spikes, vines, status inflicting pads...) would be scattered around maps.
-Transitions. How would rounds look like while ending or starting.
Ex: Big letters show up on every player's screen, written "Hunter down"/"Preys lost"/"Time's up"/"Go!" and are followed by the camera moving back towards your spawn point.

There are probably a couple more small things, but yeah, the thread is complete.
I'll just update the OP once more and hope it keeps alive for a lil' while longer.
If you have anything to say, even if you'd just like to say "+1", you're very much welcomed.
It's been nice talking to you guys. Aemicus and Skold-The-Drac, thank you very much for supporting the idea since its birth and thanks for Oakgear and Severage as well, for having the time and effort to create amazing maps and symbol ;)
Btw, I'll keep commenting as long as the thread is alive, guys, don't worry.

I have, but I disconsidered the idea because the game was originally meant to work like 'All vs One'.
On the other side, not much would have to be changed to make Infection come to life. Some adjustments on the scoring system and time available for each round would do the trick. Hunter abilities(Iron, Bound and Flair) would probably need to be removed too, or else Preys would never stand a chance.
You know, I quite like the concept but I'd rather wait and see if people like it as well, before going any deeper into it...

EDIT:
@Skold (forgot to reply you)
There's no real pattern to follow here, it can be anything as long as it looks threatening and represents its class.
I'm not very creative about cosmetic stuff, but I'll give you an example:
Claws for Juggernauts (Basically pointy fingers). I think Juggy's the most beast-like class, therefore, claws.
A ninja hood for Assassins, representing its 'ninja-likeness' and stealth ability. (cliche, ikr)
Robotic or metalic chest plate or gloves for Bombardiers to make them more "Iron looking".

These are just give you guys an idea of what you should suggest, I won't use them unless you really like them.
I'm really looking forward to better ideas.

omg. OMG. OMG!!!!!
I just noticed a huge flaw here.
Recons are only visible through the Hunter Flair which was available for all Hunter Classes, until recently. Now the Flair is only available for Assassins, which means Juggernauts and especially Bombardiers would have a HUGE disadvantage against Recons.
Damn it, how would you fix it, guys?
I can only think of making them half-visible, like Assassins. Is there any other way?
