Spas.
« on: August 10, 2007, 04:59:50 pm »
I think spas should have a bit more spread, for some reason it seems as if my spas shoots a loosly concentrated blast , its so unobivous but obvious at the same time and it should do some more dmg because i pb'd a bot in my server in a TW map no mods no nothing no vest / pred / flamer/ NOTHING! and he dident die a PB people PB!!!
wow... sexy dragon...^.^

Weapon balance belongs in the weapon balance forum. And as for your argument, I think Spas spread is plenty. Sometimes the shotgun will bug, I have experienced PB problems a lot myself, but for the most part it works. The weapon itself doesn't need any fixing.

PB i assume u mean point blank?  If so then I have to say that he shouldn't die at point blank b.c that would overpower the Spas too much at close range (and making it a lot weaker over long-range wouldn't compensate that).
The thing is, the balancers (and prolly MM) apparently don't want the spas to be too nerfed at close vs long range so they made it be (noticably) damaging at long range (so it isn't useless at long range) and powerful at close range.

Also, I believe the Spas CAN be a one hit kill weapon if you're really close... try it with an idle person.
Can't think of anything original to put here...

I'm no spaser but I just tried it just then with an idle bot, it's not a 1 hit killer...

At close range, yes, it should be, because it is useless at range. I suggest either make it better at range, or one-hit close up.

If you're both running towards each other at full speed then shoot at him at point blank range, it is a one-shot killer. Especially if most of your bullets go to the head.

I totally forgot about the speed factor....i really think the spas is good as is.

Spas = good for CTF, when you get the flag and need to boost back to base.

I agree, Spas should be 1 hit kill from about 5 feet or less.

Spas killing with 1 hit from about 5 feet or less = 1 hit killer without delay

I tried it, it isn't a one hit killer even if your like half a metre away.

Isn't it a 1-hit killer if you shoot from above to his head?

I've tried everything, shooting head, legs, chest. It's not a 1-hit killer no matter how close you are.

The speed, man. You need to go really fast, then you'll one-shot kill the guy. You need to have a good reaction time though... ::)
