list of ideas for weapons
« on: October 18, 2011, 06:49:11 AM »
ever wondered about having new kinds of guns?

how about a shotgun? you can take out more than 1 person.

what about a sniper rifle? take out your enemy's at far range.

or what about a pistol? get up-close-and-personal!

or maybe you want a multi-cluster-paint GRENADE! take out several enemy's with in a single throw..

how about some colored fun? throw colored smoke based on your team color!

there are lots of fun ideas on the use of these guns!

just hope i can get enough votes for this to pass!  :)

how about an automag? it shoots many paintballs inaccurately over a short distance, like a shotgun

how about a trracer or carbine with a steel barrel? it can take out your enemies at far range, just get a zoom script if you want to sEe ThRu Da ScOpE

how about a pgp?

how about a paint grenade that already exists?

the smoke idea is actually quite good, but the others have all been requested infinity times and denied infinity times. keep coming up with ideas though - just not ones that already have several pages of discussion on in this forum already :)

I would like to add colored smoke at some point, but not random colors.  The smoke would be colored according to the team that threw it, thus making it more difficult to see the team that used the smoke (a red player in red smoke would be harder to see than a blue player in red smoke, for example).

I agree.  I imagine that paint BFG would shoot multiple giagantic paint balls and when they pop, paint grenades come out.

The colored smoke grens could be nice. Would it replace the normal smoke grens or would it be a setting (server, map, entity) ?

Actually, colored smoke would not be anything new, but a visual upgrade to existing smoke grenades. And that would be pretty neat.

Uh, shotgun would rather shoot multiple pellets AT ONCE, with spread and quite long reload time. It would rock at short range, but due to long reload, it would take some skill to use it well. Ditching Stingray or VM in favor of this would not be that bad of idea IMO.

As for sniper, how about sth even slower than pgp in ROF, but insane when it comes to base ball speed?

Hey, quick melee attack (like paintbrush/barrel tag) would be neat as well.

Make smoke grenades easier to position and more effective for cover and strategy.

Wasn't that (half) implemented with build 31?

Jits if you implement any changes to the smoke grenade.. you need to make the area of the smoke bigger and more dense... the person in the smoke can't see but the person inside of the smoke can be seen easily.. soo using them in a manner in which to escape... doesn't work.. also you need to make them not roll after they have been popped...

Don't know, but the topics can be merged then.
