Gun Weight - Important

[-Major-]

hmm... it might be possible to script... doesn't avarax rpg mod change the speed of the soldats? if so it should very well be possible to code.

F11...

But, if it did happen, lmao to the guy who decided to lug around 2 miniguns.

The speed adding and subtracting used is pretty much a workaround, and shouldn't be used in any official version.

I don't like this idea.  I mean consider the mnigun- You wouldn't be able to hold and fire in real life anyway!

I do not say that it should have properties exactly like in real life. That would obviously be stupid (and weapons would be totally unbalanced). I only believe that real-life machanics work fine and it's a good idea to follow them, since they give natural solutions to some probems, as I've written here.

The minigun would be a piece of crap. Yes, super heavy: with batteries, ammo and the gun itself, the whole weight will cause the player unable to move, now THAT's realistic.

Seriously f11.

Lol, and you havn't played Team Fortress 2... The Heavy class (with Heavy Machine Gun) Moves alot slower then the other classes, in return he has more armor.

*facepalm*
when will you guys realize that soldat isnt the next cs/ut/tf/bf/whatever
f11, dont even to try to argue with me

I'm gonna have to add an F11 here. Soldat really is about fast-paced gameplay, and adding an element like this would not only slow down the gameplay, but probably add a lot of new glitches as well.

We also do have jet boots. I think something else should be changed to benefits for the realism before adding different weight to the weapons.

This actually is a good idea, although many people would dislike it as well. It would take away that arcade style of the game. Although, it could work out of this only worked for a certain type of gameplay. Example, this factor would only take effect if you were playing a match with the realistic mode switched on. Good idea, but there would have to be an option to set this realism on or off.

[TD]

No, I think not. Gun weight could only add more problems, and my guess is that if it were implemented the majority of the people here for it would find a lot more to complain about.

Face it, Soldat just isn't meant to be super-realistic.

[Gotfryd]

If I ever learn to script (maybe during holidays?), I'll make a script with all my favourite suggestions (gun weight, limited ammo etc.) and see how it works, and I'll ask other people what they think about it (I suppose that most of them would find it not as horrible as they imagined )

[scarface09]

thank you gotfryd...they havn't even experienced playing with this feature judging it by how it sounds.

[scarface09]

Poll added...vote for the verdict.

[miketh2005]

look at my procedure suggestions article, this can be possible already but spawning bullets on the player like in hexer, but with another procedure it wont look messey and noobs wont think your hacking, I F12ed, but i wouldn't like the weapon weight for ALL weapons, like people said it could cause bugs, effect the gameplay etc. but i think it really should be added to minigun, it would be AWESOME and there will finally be 15 weapons again.

[scarface09]

agreed! most weapons should be modified with a weight BUT slightly just to make that difference if you know what i mean.
