It seems like hacking turrets wouldn't be very useful, as it tends to deal more damage to the person hacking it than it likely ever would to the enemy.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Hopping between worlds made this on-theme and is also an interesting gameplay element, although it seems like it would make it even less likely for the players to interact. I'm concerned this might turn the gameplay into mostly wandering alone and capturing flags (I mean hacking portals).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Someone try this with a group of people and report how it was in reality!"},{"author_name":"seurimas","author_uid":"41756","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 3:53am","epoch":1408938480,"text":"That's too bad, Bemmu, understandable though; I didn't get a chance to try it with anyone else either.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The &quot;ideal&quot; gameplay would involve players setting traps with turrets, then hacking their enemies into the other world to drop them into them. This is (supposedly) encouraged by level design where 1 or 2 portals are accompanied by turrets in one world."},{"author_name":"NickFrushour","author_uid":"42103","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 4:49am","epoch":1408941840,"text":"Played solo, but would be a ton of fun with more people!"},{"author_name":"Jaloko","author_uid":"37180","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 4:57am","epoch":1408942320,"text":"Didn't have someone to play with.

A lot of the turrets and capture points were shared between worlds, so we ended up just hacking at the same things in a bizarre cat-and-mouse game. It was too slow to switch worlds to ever really affect your opponent, they could just run away or see you switching and start switching as well.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It was a good idea, but it needs a lot of tuning before it can really be fun with multiple people."},{"author_name":"seurimas","author_uid":"41756","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 5:05am","epoch":1409029200,"text":"&gt; It was a good idea, but it needs a lot of tuning before it can really be fun with multiple people.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>This is pretty much what I was afraid of\/assumed.
