Take off the Minigun?
« on: July 14, 2006, 03:49:07 pm »
Should a different weapon replace the mingun which is commonly called the "n00b's weapon"? Cause of cheapness. I voted "IDK". Just seeing the people's opinion.

This has been said by Michal himself, by the way.

It's true, but it's a big mistake
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.

Yes:

When they added the weapon they tried to balence it as well as they can and to do this they had to make it have very little damage, and have an extremely long reload time, so there isn't much point to ever actually use it.

I say replace it with another submation gun, like the mp5 but different.

No! That will take away even more weapons then there already is. Most people say there are not enuf weapons, and taking one off? Are you nuts sir? No for me :P

Not remove, replace.

Maybe minigun should become stronger and be a power-up.
A heavy machine gun with a stand should replace it imo. It should have terrible accuracy when standing or crouching but when prone, be very good.

I doubt the weapons will be switched around anyway, soldat is supposed to be crazy, lots of blood, big explosions and big guns.

I guess I contradicted myself there  ;)

The only time a weapon has been changed is when MM made the M4 into the steyr in version 0.9.7b(?), well it was the version after the first.

Wait, so the steyr reload is a carbine reload?

I agree with that heavy machinegun thing.It could be used as a heavy support weapon to lay down supressive fire onto enemies.

And why does Michal have a problem with replacing teh minigun , most people don't lo0ve it and either n00bs are using it or some hardcore veterans but thats merely 4% of people that plays soldat.

Listen to the Steyr reload, then listen to the M4a1 reload from CS:S.

I sucks with minigun but is a very "marketing" weapon to take new people inside soldat like m79.
