Weapon dropping feature.

[tehsnipah]

The idea you made is nice, but isn't there a secondary weapon you can always finish off with?

[Decaying Soldat]

Yep, there are secondaries. So I really suggest that the drop weapon feature only throws the weapon at a direction but does no damage.

cool how everyone baws about how overpowered it would be when it can be nerfed just like we did with every aspect of soldat

Also funny how a racist twit like yourself has 300 posts of spam and trolling and you're still on the forums.

[Gotfryd]

I'm not sure whether damage should depend on weapon or not, but still F12 in general. Can you make a poll?

[homerofgods]

  Go to soldat folder and make the knife look like a chainsaw, then see if you like it.   I did, maybe it shouldn't be able to hurt people, because it would be too much used. Maybe it would be cool to just have the opertunity to throw it further.. but if it shouldn't hurt people, then I'm not sure if we should bother do anything.  F11,5

Meh, the forum mods know a joke when they see one. >_>

The weapon dropping feature not only has been suggested here before, but several times in a few servers I've been in over the course of seven months. And quite frankly, I agree with the idea. It doesn't change much to the gameplay, and the chances of killing a person at full health with a thrown gun is nil. I don't see why you guys are so scared of the change unless you happen to play on a ctf server with hurt-only polygon maps.

Weapon throw shouldn't be THAT powerful. I mean you shouldn't be able to throw it that far. I was thinking more that you're above someone, jetting away and you just let gravity pick up momentum on the empty Barret you throw at their head, you hit them and they die. They shouldn't be able to one-shot-kill, but rather damage a little from close distance and kill only when hit from above.

Maybe the same demage as a fist-hit or something, or just being able to throw a bit further. (so you can give weapons to your teammates in a cooler way.
Actually that would do.

If you even wanted something remotely close to having this idea be considered, it would be removing auto reload. So instead of shooting someone when you are out of ammo, it can be used kinda like a bat. Then press reload to...reload. And even that idea is not that great.

Your idea is a no for me.

[FabioShmit]

Being able to throw the guns farther w/ out damage is a definite plus for me. The way I see it, if you wanna throw something, you have the knife, right?

Being able to throw the guns farther w/ out damage, f12

What the hell is that gonna do? Pass to the other player your weapon? What about you then, are you going to fight off with your puny socom/knife/saw/LAW?

[bloodzcape]

that idea will just kill the game tbh

[STM1993]

It's an interesting idea I'd like for modding though.

But that would kinda make the knife useless if its used in the actual Soldat. Then if you made the damage low, you might as well just reload your gun or throw a nade or use a secondary.

And this would kinda make some guns more powerful than they need to be. Imagine an injured auto user charges at a Barret-user. The Barrett guy misses. The auto-user sprays him down. The Barrett guy just throws the Barrett at the auto-user and kills him.

I meant it more of like this,

If you can throw every weapon, it takes away the usefulness/uniqueness of the knife. Anyway, I feel its more of a cosmetic change.

Like this far?

I would honestly love to be able to throw your guns just like the knife, and deal some damage, it would be so useful in battle.

You could finish off an enemy if you run out of ammo too soon.
You would be able to throw your weapons farther away so you don't accidentally pick them up again.
You could throw your weapons to a team mate who is unarmed.
There would be a huge new level of gameplay added, when you are seeing people throw guns all over and picking them up.

Basically some guns will be heavier than others, so their range and damage would vary. For example the saw would do significantly more than a socom, but the socom would could be thrown farther!

[Gotfryd]

I think it should deal only a little damage (not more than one socom shot). And the range should also be small, let's say something like knife thrown at LOWEST speed possible (when you hit throwing knife button and not hold it at all).

Then if you made the damage low, you might as well just reload your gun

reloading takes a long time.

...or throw a nade

What if you don't have nades? And what if your enemy is so close that a nade would kill you too?

...or use a secondary.

Changing weapon to secondary also takes some time. Throwing weapon would be faster, if the enemy is very close (something about 2-4 gosteks heights).

Imagine an injured auto user charges at a Barret-user. The Barrett guy misses. The auto-user sprays him down. The Barrett guy just throws the Barrett at the auto-user and kills him.

All right, but now imagine that auto-user with full hp charges barrett-user with full-hp. The auto-user sprays Barrett-user, but does not kill him. The Barrett-user misses. Now both of them throw their weapons at each other. Who wins? Auto-user, because he injured Barrett-user before (and since Barrett-user missed before throwng weapon, auto-user is only a little scratched). Its not straightforward.

[Tek+Lok]

Perhaps if we also try implementing some force with it as well? Like if you threw your gun at someone it causes them to get knocked back to a certain severity, like the way shotgun hits push you back.

I don't like it, it would just be annoying...

[STM1993]

Reload time depends on the gun you're using. If you're using a Flamer, Socom, MP5, DEs, Spas-12 (or even Steyr Aug)... I really don't see a reason why you should throw your gun. Those guns reload really fast or fast enough. And chainsaw? You shouldn't even be "reloading" the chainsaw unless you know you aren't gonna be in combat.

If the throwing distance is so short and the damage is so low, I really don't see why you should even throw the weapon in the first place. Your chances of missing is high, your chances of killing is very low (unless the guy is in the state where he is bleeding HEAVILY).

If you don't have nades, then it isn't an excuse. Grenades are incredibly important, if you run out of them, spam them and don't get supplied then its your fault for putting yourself in such a disadvantage. The only time it can be an excuse is when the server doesn't even have grenades allowed or survival where you can't refill HP and grenades. If you're that close, just run to him and punch the hell out of him (or at least punch off his gun), or run off, or just switch to your secondary, or just throw it and sacrifice yourself.

It is understandable that switching weapons takes a while, 40-60 ticks or so + the fireinterval remaining before you can shoot that weapon (applies whether the switched weapon is primary or secondary), but no one ever stays still. Or you might as well do the above options stated if you're really that desperate.



I'm not against modifying the throw weapon function, it's a nice and cool idea, but I don't see how it is good for the gameplay.
