Choosing no secondary
« on: April 07, 2007, 06:56:02 am »
This is just a small suggestion, you should be able to choose no weapon for  secondary in the game, you can already do it in the under the players tab in the menu, but once you have chosen a secondary in game there is no way to revert back to carrying nothing, if there is, tell me.

I agree. I posted this too.

I dunno... it's just a convenience. It'd be great to have but I wouldn't lose sleep over it if it isn't put in. ethadream's post is sufficient.

I totally support, because I rarely use secondaries, and I always throw them away when I want to pick up another weapon.

Well, I support it, especially in Rambo matches, it's annoying to throw your gun away and when you're gonna pick the bow up, you pick up your weapon(usually LAW)

It's a fairly good idea, although slightly trivial.

But it'd be useful for Rambo matches... and for when you want to pick up other weapons.

I always go with knife anyway.. and alot of my kills end up being knife-throws.

I'm not so worried about it.

Just drop your secondary, its not too hard. My only issue is that you often fall back onto a secondary that you drop, which is annoying.

Yeah, it has merit. It doesn't seem that hard since it's already an option in the startup menu. We should support.

The thing is, the "no sidearm" thing in the player menu is there and it works. If you just don't click on any secondaries, then you won't have one.

However, I do understand your idea. I support, since it's kinda cool to have an AK-74 and M79.
Don't say that you're Magic. Because you aren't, and I am.
All-around good with weapons that aren't long range, except in TW.
Now be careful out there, soldier.

no, because no matter what, you have the one selected in the "start with side arm" menu.
Which defaults to pistol.

Nope, I've spawned without a sidearm before. More than once.

All you have to do is just click on a primary if you have no sidearm selected in the player menu. Then, you won't have any sidearm.

I'd like to spawn, own an invading guy and then take his gun with this.
