Does anyone else think the reload time should be shortened? Not for the sake of realism, but just as a buff. It really is a good secondary, but after the first shot you generally don't have time to reload it. I'm just asking if this is plausible or not, or even if the public at large believes this should change. I feel that if you did shorten it though, it may become overpowered. Ideas on how to buff it without overpowering would also be greatly appreciated.

shorten the reload by 2%, and maybe increase interval a little?

In 1.5 its reload is going to be shortened by 60 ticks. It's enough atm.

There's your answer.

It's an excellent buff at the moment, together with a lower startup time. Now it is not so much of a shoot-and-drop weapon, it can actually be reloaded rather quickly given enough time. It is also a lot more usable in a tight situation due to faster startup. I think as long as the reload value doesn't go below 360, the reload is pretty much fine. I also think that the LAW should always have a startup, but it should be a very small value. The 1.5 value seems to work well.

1.5 value:
[M72 LAW]
Damage=150000
FireInterval=30
Ammo=1
ReloadTime=420 (original = 480)
Speed=230
BulletStyle=12
StartUpTime=17 (original = 21)
Bink=0
MovementAcc=1
Recoil=0

wow, that definitely will make the LAW a mean bastard.

Yep, just as how it should be, whereby its reload is long but reasonable enough to be reloaded, very quick to draw and fire and have exceptional range/artillery capability, but requiring the user to be on the ground.

The knife is a lot meaner though in most Soldat servers, seeing as it is like a mini-M79 without the explosive power and with a startup time.

AS always STM you're right..damn how can you be always right? are ever wrong?! like, more than 0.0001%?

I want LAW with 360 ticks reload only.

Rai-Dei · « **Reply #8 on:** March 29, 2009, 01:41:11 pm »

The delay is still balanced, because it still gets an emo delay occasionally.

demoniac93 · « **Reply #9 on:** March 29, 2009, 03:16:08 pm »

Emo delay? You mean excessive delay?

Keldorn · « **Reply #10 on:** March 30, 2009, 02:20:23 am »

My opinion:

When I use the LAW as my secondary weapon (which I almost always do) I simply use it as a defensive weapon, and when I kill a guy with it (or miss) I drop it and look for a weapon to buff my Primary weapon.

But hey, I'm all for speeding up the LAW reload speed.

Platehead · « **Reply #11 on:** March 30, 2009, 02:30:55 am »

It would probably make it that you wouldn't have to drop it.

I've seen popular use of getting to the flag, LAWing someone and running. Extra reload, making it feasible to actually reload it, would allow for this while using it for defence earlier.

Kind of, even though the delay works most of the time, you'll still get those crazy delays. They can be super long or even super short, but those are a bug.

demoniac93 · « **Reply #13 on:** March 30, 2009, 04:25:03 pm »

How come, even though it's obvious, that no one ever really pays attention to it? Is it being fixed?

I think there are attempts to fix it, the problem is not unnoticed.

Random 'realstic' jam...all are looking for it, but noone likes it

Keldorn · « **Reply #16 on:** April 02, 2009, 08:42:30 pm »

I guess the reason why not many people have considered the idea of Buffing the LAW because most people (well in clan wars and serious matches at least) use the knife. And those using one shotters or semis often use the SOCOM.

demoniac93 · « **Reply #17 on:** April 03, 2009, 02:48:13 am »

But still, the most satisfying way ever to kill on soldat is with a LAW, I've tried.

Colonel ONeill · « **Reply #18 on:** April 03, 2009, 05:44:52 am »

The law is not really difficult to use, i'm really more satisfied when i kill with a nice knife.

demoniac93 · « **Reply #19 on:** April 03, 2009, 08:36:43 am »

Well, the LAW does not have to be powered up before use (start up time isn't the same as powering up the shot) like the knife, the LAW is faster, the LAW can be ricocheted towards the target, the LAW travels faster...So yes, it is different but nut necessarily more satisfying for the kill...
