Title: LAW reload !
Post by: 1stblood on January 25, 2008, 10:59:23 am
My suggestion is simple so imma get right to it...
I beleive that the reload time on a LAW is too slow.  I think it is really unfair (especially in a saw & law server) that a saw can be fully reloaded in less than 5 seconds, while it takes the LAW about 20 seconds to fully reload. During that 20 second period the player using the LAW has to dodge, duck, and weave away from other players trying to kill them with a saw, and thats very hard for some newbe players. plus the LAW can only shoot once (which sucks). so I think it would be much better if the reload time was shortened for the LAW.

Imagine the law having 2 shots, or a 10 second reload time.. It would be freaking overpowered, like a primary weapon. I think the law is finally okay.

Then the admin in that LAW & SAW server can change the weapon settings.

no way. This would make the law too cheap. The secondary weapons are balanced well enough. I try not to have the law alone, because if you miss you are efffd.What I do is pick up a saw with my law or 2 laws(Which can own).

Ya the law does take a while to reload, but I think it's cool how it is, but maybe it should have 2 bullets and 10 seconds re-load time each?

Isn't the law reload 8 seconds?

It's a bit of a long haul to fire and miss, but then i guess you should miss less.

ReloadTime=480
It means that it has 8 second reload, where are your 20?

Aha! I thought it was 8 Seconds.
But it's not as long as reloading a barret is it?

That's the whole point in saw and law, that the reload is so long.

The LAW is a secondary weapon.

If it reloaded any faster it would essentially be a long-range m79.

I know that I might start to sound like 4yo here, but I think the fact that you're trying to 'dumb down' the weapon for the reason you stated above is pure
</B-S\>

Now then, the reload time is 480 ticks. 60 ticks = 1 second, so 480/60 = 8.
8 seconds, son. I think you can handle that.

So you're suggesting we change the balance for one single server which the owners could easily change themselves with an argument based on facts pulled out of questionable orifices?


Ahh...no. As of 1.4 the LAW reload has been balanced out perfectly, in my opinion. (And I'm saying that as a LAW user*)

*Not to imply that I'm any good with it. ><

the law isnt meant for newbs! it is meant for skilful players. if you keep on missing then you should practice with it now shut up and go home.

The LAW should be able to shot mid-air... so the people would start to use it again :P (Think this was removed in Soldat 1.2 or so...)  :'(

Remember that the reload time was lowered to 1 sec last version, so don't complain.
