Weapon cycling option
« on: March 09, 2007, 05:23:35 am »
I have an idea for an option that would probably go next to realistic, survival, advanced, etc.

Call it what you will, I will call it weapon cycle/ing.

If checked then players only have the option to select different secondaries and their primary weapon would cycle through all the avaliable weapons. Each time they die the next weapon is selected until all the weapons enabled have been used and then the cycle restarts.
To prevent everyone getting the same weapon at the begining of the game the weapons could be randomly spread out so if you have 10 people and all 10 weapons enabled each person starts with a different weapon.

This option would be good because then people would have to use every weapon which
a) trains them up so they learn how to use more weapons
b) would stop people complaining about the people always use the same weapon. (No more total m79 users and such, not that I'm against the m79ers  :D )

I like the idea of giving those M79'ers a walk and fresh air in the park of non-one-hit-kill weapons, but having your 'own' weapon is part of the fun of soldat. Advance mode is ok because you earn primaries and then get the ones you are good at.

Id like it better if instead of cycling, it was random.
Several things ill mention:
1. this isn't gonna work unless its on survival mode. Players will just /kill if they get a bad weapon
2. i couldn't be that hard to code, but hell, i'm not going to do the work.
3. i ran out of things to mention.

Hmm, I think advanced mode is good enough...

...No offense but Advanced mode is gay....

I guess it is nice to have your "own" weapon, but you don't have to play with it on.
Also, I place great stock in being able to use any weapon.

If players /kill then they have to respawn ^.--
