So appearently Ringslinger may not be in the next version, why is that?

[Konii]

As the next major version of SRB2 is very likely not going to include ringslinger game modes by default, our mappers have worked hard to give these maps the love they deserve so we can send ringslinger off with a bang.

Does anyone know why this is going to be the case?

If I had to guess... SRB2 wasn't built to have a deathmatch like mode in mind. When you really think about it, Rings are your health and ammo. So rarely you see someone die unless they fall into a pit or something. Plus, running out of Ring Ammo also means that you can die because you're not holding any Rings. So, even more it basically boils down to Ring Sting from Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers, except you'll be blown into bits if you take a single step into Ring Dept.

People can mod it back in if the Ringslinger game modes does get axed, because we have LUA and crap.
