Title: Chainsaw Idea
Post by: Ajnin Ezakimak on October 21, 2006, 08:48:54 pm

Hey, have you ever noticed that the Chainsaw is pretty much the least used weapon?  It's melee, and in a world of rifles and guns, being melee kinda stinks.

So, I propose...

A ricocheting effect.  Everytime you click the fire button, or every 1 second the chainsaw is running (which ever is faster), you will deflect a bullet.  This will not protect against explosives, and bullets from behind/top/bottom.

I know, I know, a chainsaw can't deflect bullets!  But when has Soldat been realistic?

Damage increase.  This, I think, is pretty important.  The Chainsaw does not register well, and when it does, it only takes away like 9/10's of their life, and although that may seem to be a lot, keep in mind that it takes like years to actually get a chance to get up close.

Seeing as how I use the chainsaw frequently, I'd have to disagree.  If you know how and when to use the saw these suggestions are pretty moot.

Been suggested before, and an unecessary feature. As Geo said, the chainsaw is plenty powerful enough when used properly.

Hey, it's not my fault if people never learn.  That's just one example of where to use the saw.

Disagree with this idea.
As some have said before, if you know how to use it you will sure kill many people.

if you change the saw, it won't be the saw we all know and love.  Simple logic
