throw chainsaw like knife
« on: July 08, 2006, 12:48:41 pm »
a bastage suggestion:

when you throw your chainsaw, it doesnt just drop on the ground, but flies a few cm and if hits somebody, chops him a little so it wouldn't be as useless as now, the point is that if it hits somebody, it doesn't stop like the knife, but flies until drops, slashing people on its way (its not deadly because usually in case of 2 hits in normal mode chainsaw it doesn't kill, so wont the throwable chainsaw.

Pointless?

I think that when you drop saw it should keep running until it runs out of ammo and anyone that runs over it DIES. Should have more ammo. Twould be like a landmine, but you can hear it running.

Support. This has been suggested before and I still like the idea. It should only run if you hold left-click while dropping it.

iDante: landmine? No, no! It should only run for however much ammo is left since when you dropped it. Then once it stops, it can be picked up and reloaded.

The chainsaw is a melee weapon. End of story.

Even for Soldat, this is a little unrealistic.

Thats what I meant.
Combining landmine with chainsaw.

Sounds like a good idea, until you realize no one is going to pull the switch while its flying in midair.

Or maybe instead if you throw a weapon into another player's face it might do a little damage.
But don't expect minigun weight from a socum.

I agree with that, but i don't think you should be able to throw it at people. Seriously, go outside and try and lob a running chainsaw as far as you can. I'm serious, go try it. It's not easy.

Grab your uncles old chainsaw, and try to throw it.... and youll see... its way to heavy.... though the lunge idea is pretty sweet..

For certain reasons I couldn't do this earlier, but I'm locking this topic and referring you to this one, on the exact same subject. For the record, I found this easily by searching the Game Improvements / Suggestions forum for the words 'throw chainsaw'. Please use the search feature in future, viggoloniggolo, and if you find an older topic, please revive it with any extra suggestions you have.
