Grapple hook
« on: July 09, 2006, 04:50:35 pm »
I had an idea :D i know its amazing aint it?
well here it is:
my idea is that we could have a grapple hook not for hooking walls but like if we could double weild with it(like a chainsaw and it at same time like use the z key and it would shoot like with e it will shoot a nade)
Example:have out a chainsaw-shoot him with grapple-pull him in-start attacking
tell me wut u think
he has eyebrows of authority + 5. Are you kidding?

I'd like to say and only say,

"no"

But. I can't do this. For one, this isn't Halo, we don't dual weild things in soldat :P As for second, it would make the chainsaw far too powerful than what it is. Just imagine that all you'd have to do is shoot, grab kill, it would decrease the any sort of value the saw has as a melee weapon, Not to mention any sort of skill that is required to use it.

You have my immediate distaste for the thought. What'd be the point?

I'd support it, but only because maps without jets are very limited and this might be useful for these maps and super-realistic games.

edit: sorry, not for walls. I feel stupid. I don't like this idea. Unnecessary, complicated, not very useful. Mightas well make a taser gun.

Negative, the "deagles" are one entity.

The game is too fast for this sort of thing.  Besides...jet boots.  'nuff said.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams it is
still a beautiful world.  Strive to be happy.

I've heard this so many times.  It seems so needless and won't fit in a 2D side-view, fast-paced game where every character has jet boots so they can fly fast as well as boost themselves with grendes and other weaponry like Soldat.

Why would we need grappling hooks when we have jet boots?

And could you please use punctuation Wolf_Man, it's really hard to understand what you are saying.

@night crawler: He means use the grapple to grapple other soldats and pull them into you so you can saw or knife them. not climb up walls.

On topic I dont really think that there is real need for this and it would really tick me off if I was running from the enemy base with the flag and suddenly get dragged back and killed.

this sounds like mortal combat, Wasnt there a guy that did a grapple hook then pulled them in and attacked?
Your acting like your having a duel and your opponent gets a pistol and you get a spork.
Isn't that pretty much what it is? I dunno wtf a spork is, I suppose it's way weaker than the pistol since you compared that to this.

hm...it sounds kind of cool, but when you think about it....I dont think it would work for Soldat, I mean, whats the point? If it's meant to grapple hook someone to you why not just walk up to them and shoot them with a spas? plus if you need that extra damage its only one more shot....

soldat is too fast paced, as soon as you grapple, he blasts you into 1967 bits

Please tell me your joking ^.

it would be weird, your trying to run away and all of the sudden, a person grabs you with his grapple hook and kills you, INSANELY bad idea for ctf.

grapple hook would be a nice way to get out of a bad situation.

not as a weapon
