A Railgun...
« on: July 12, 2006, 08:14:34 pm »
hows about making a railgun for a secondary weapon, with it being able to shoot through walls and all, but make a limit as to how far it can shoot through, and probs make the reload time fair long since it is such a powerful weapon...

Railguns are real.
Either way, I disagree with this idea. Sorry, but this would just be the ultimate barreter's secondary, which would spawn some major complaints and flame wars. No.

Like Timesplitters' Mag-Charger, or Red Faction's Rail Driver... sorry, but it's not going to work with Soldat. Shooting through walls in a 2D game is a HUGE advantage... I doubt anyone would bother with the other secondaries.

No, no, and... er.. no. 8)

Simply no. Rail guns are real, but only the big ones on ships like iDante said would go through walls. I think the railgun he's referring to is the one that shoots a laser beam of some sort. :-\

Just make a mod that launches a nuclear slug that goes really freaking fast.

and DEFINITELY not as a secondary.

I don't think railguns are real...

Someone post a link to railgun?

They most certainly are real, my friend. Although in some games, the concept is exaggerated, often altered slightly.

They shoot triangular peices of metal at a velocity slightly lower than the speed of light, not laser beams.

This shouldn't be added. Would be a noob one hitter that can fire very fast.

And another no from me. It would be way too overpowered.

HELL NO!.

Seriousy we already got one or two overpowered guns...we dont need more.

And plus having a huge gun that shoots metal with electricity doesent really suit soldat...does it?

Maybe in Halo(if there isnt already one) but not in soldat please.

Barrett is nearly a railgun. It has long reload, and used to be able to shoot through walls.

I don't support this, and to the guy who said "Ultimate barreter's secondary", It wouldn't be.
Surrounded by close range hostiles, i'd whip out the USSOCOM and kill em.

And yeah, barret's like a RG.

The concept of a railgun is real, and some have been made very close to a real conceptual plan. It's just that they would be extremely inefficient with the magnets required to shoot the metal. :/

Disagree with suggestion, since you can only shoot thru walls if the poly is set that way.

the point has been made that a railgun would not be liked in the game, and there's no way it'd be appropriate as a secondary weapon anyway.

Please fix your signature, it breaks the rules very badly
